Well family another week down.. This week went by really fast..haha for reals i dont know why but now time seems to be going a whole lot faster instead of slower... i think it is like a basketball game the fourth quarter always goes by fast until the last two minutes..haha but this week was a good week.. we were able to share a lot with hna carolina who has all of her family problems and we are working on helping her calm her life down and it seems to be working,, really well.. the gospel really does work miracles and i love this place in mala.. it was kinda sad though because after two weeks of going up in attendance we went back down to 84... so that was kinda lame.. but hey we have really been trying with the branch and it is incredible that we are keeping up with more than 80.. so we are happy about that but we really do want to get these people where they should be..and it just so happens that the week we drop down a little bit President Douglas came and gave the branch a surprise visit and then told all the branch that the gospel is simple and that we need to help our brothers and sisters learn that it is simple and that satan is in the complicated things and so if something is complicated its because satan is getting involved.. and another quote i heard is that satan never rests, so we being better then him shouldnt need to rest either.. haha i liked both of those quotes when i heard them.. but it was a pretty normal week we have really been visiting the members alot and we will see if that helps the branch out.. sorry this is surely a boring letter.. but i love this work and being here in the mission it is the bomb learning and growing as a person and really getting to know the gospel. I know that this is the true church and that joseph smith translated the book of mormon and that it is a true book.. i love reading it and growing as a person and learning what i should do through the prophets that wrote it.. and the prophets in our days. you are all the best and hope that you are reading the book of mormon and praying for help at all times.. to teach and to avoid the complicated..
