We had a lot of heat and humidity, that's for sure! But luckily, we were able to meet a few really great people. There's one lady named Zulema, and she actually talked to missionaries 20 years ago, and even had a baptismal date, but the people she was living with, didn't let her join the church. So I"m hoping she can progress.
We have a lesson tomorrow morning again with the lady who speaks English it's actually super hard for me to teach in English now, because I've only ever done it in Spanish... so it feels so unnatural, and I always accidentally start speaking in Spanish to her.. so I"m gonna let my comp take the reigns with that one haha. But
we´re hoping that she´s read part of the Book of Mormon! she told us last time that she was trying to teach her boyfriend the story of Joseph Smith.

It happens everywhere I guess. The family of the Bishop hasn't been coming to church for like 5 or 6 weeks.. so we visited the wife and 2 girls.. and brought them facturas.. and they opened up and told us that they've been offended by a few people in the ward...because some of the young women have said to her daughters - stuff about them wearing the same shoes every week, or their clothes. We talked with them a while, especially about how the members aren't perfect, but the Gospel is. They loved our visit, and invited us to eat with them on Sunday and to have a Noche de Hogar next week.
Transfers are in 2 weeks, and I've been in Formosa for my whole mission so far... so ill most likely get transferred! I'm a little excited for change, but also nervous because I just know my area so well, and I'll be starting over again and feel lost for while.
I read in Helaman this week, and it's crazy to see how every time the people fall into wickedness, it's because of pride. Its such a stumbling block. I thought it was interesting that it said the pride did not enter into the church of God (because the Lord and his teachings are perfect).. but rather, into the hearts of the people who professed to be of His church. Its so important to watch ourselves and always be humble.. that's something i think we are all constantly working on.
I promise I'll try to send more pics this week. I just didn't have batteries this week...my camera uses up batteries sooooo fast! Seriously.
Thanks for your prayers and words of support, I need them!
I love you all....
