Week 86 Miracle Challenge!!

Well so last Monday in President Eddy's weekly email he invited all of the missionaries in the mission to write down at least one miracle at the end of every day! And I decided to follow his invitation and write at least one miracle every day in my journal until the end of my mission and im so glad that I started doing that cause this week was super bummy! During this week we lost quite a few investigators because they told us they werent interested any more or they just didnt want to progress any more and it was a really hard week for us! We didnt have much success this week but im still glad that I did what Pres Eddy invited us to do because it helped me see through the crappy week and see some of the miracles! And some of the days it was really hard to think of a miracle but after pondering about it I would find at least one thing every day. 

One of the miracles from this week was that on Tuesday we decided to pass by this guy named Maxi who was a reference from the other two elders in Rocha. They said he was 20 and that he was a less active member. So we went by his house and after talking with him a bit he told us that he had been talking with his older brother Marcos about going back to church because they both felt like they needed to start going again. He also told us that he was a less active member and that everyone in his family was less active except for his youngest sister who wasnt baptized at all. Well then Maxi's mom came in and told us that Maxi wasnt baptized either and he was confused and said "mom im baptized too!" and she said "yeah but in the Catholic church when you were a baby! When we all got baptized in the Mormon church you werent old enough to get baptized so you never did" and so it turns out that Maxi never got baptized and he thought that he was less active. Well were gonna go by him again this week and invite him to get baptized and start teaching him. 

Well im sorry that this emails soo short but we are in Chuy again! Were gonna go to the Brazilian buffet again and so ive got to go cause we dont have a lot of time here! 

This photo is from a service we did the other day. We were just clearing out this family's backyard of all of these sticks and plants and stuff. 

Well anyways take care guys! Have a good week!!!
