There's always gonna be another mountain...

There are ups and downs on the mission. The biggest up is finding people like Byron and feeling such a special spirit from people like him. But the biggest down is when the adversary works hard. This week we saw the effects of the adversary tear down a strong testimony. Byron had some doubts come into his mind, and decided he wasn't ready for baptism. As the traveler he is, he packed up all his things, came by our house to say goodbye and then disappeared. Even a strong testimony can be broken if we don't have our lives in line with God's will. Satan never stops working and will tear us down if we let him.

But just because one investigator lost his testimony, I won't let it make me stop working.

I love it out here, and I love meeting people who you can just tell they are chosen=) We met another lady this week named Brishelen. She is amazing, and is so open to hear about the gospel. She is so humble and willing to change. When we told her that she would have to stop selling her bread on Sundays to keep the sabbath day holy, she said "Yeah, i think i will test it out. You say I will be blessed, so I will try out your words."

My companion and I are doing great, we are progressing together, and I am excited to have another transfer with her to learn even more!

Love you all!

Fun facts:

- my companion used the "hole bathroom" for the first time in her life this week.

- Some advice from a wise Latino dad: when you are deciding to marry someone or not, go watch them play soccer because that is where the natural man comes out and you can see the real him..... They get really into soccer... I admit it is kinda scary haha!
