A Mission is not Easy, but It's Totally Worth It!

Hey y'all!! so this week I wanted to write só in english. I will do my best but as vezes I throw some portugues in there, as you can tell already! Just bear with me okay?

But really quick I want to update you all on the work here!

So first off, we're working a lot more with the youth it seems like. We have the most amazing investigator "M". He is 14 years old and is literally the best investigator I've ever seen! He does everything we ask him to do in order to progress and be ready for his baptism this week! First off, we met him 2 weeks ago on Sunday night when we were rushing to meet the goals of the week. He was one of the last people we talked to before returning home. Tuesday we went and taught him the first lesson (the Restoration). and when we finished explaining that he needs to be baptized by someone with the right authority (priesthood) he basically asked if he could be baptized this week (yesterday). we explained that there was a process to these things and marked his baptism for this week! Guys it gets better!! We went back and invited him to seminary one day, just to see how things are and get him involved with some of the youth. He loved it and the 2 days following he went all by himself to seminary! Cara, we both almost cried! He's so great!! Super excited for him to be baptized this week, and see him progress in the church!

Another investigator we're working with and have marked for baptism this week is "R". Another person we met Sunday night trying to finish things for the week. He's great and we have already marked his baptism but its really hard to find him in home. But we'll follow up with him this week and hopefully everything works out to have the baptism this week!! 

We are also working with 2 families. One who is having a hard time, struggling alot in their "marriage" they live together but arent married yet. They're great and really curious about the church but they dont want to get married and dont want to separate. Its really hard! and the other family lost their son a few years ago and struggle a lot with the idea that they think he is suffering still. We taught them the plan of salvation and hopefully will be able to help them understand that he isnt suffering and that they can one day have him sealed to them for eternity! 

The work here is getting much better! But its still super super hard! Lately, its been just my companion doing the work and I've been struggling quite a lot. I know for a fact that a mission was never meant to be easy, but i am starting to see more and more everyday that its worth every tear, every struggle, every problem. 

Love you guys so much!!
