Cosecha

It looks like a good house! I´m going to mis the old one and all the work we did to fix it up... I won´t miss the work but the feeling of accomplishment! I´m glad to hear that Bryan is playing volleyball! If you truely work hard at it and listen to what the coach says you´ll progress a lot! The coach at highland is way good! Work to become a starter but don´t be a jock! Hold your head high but keep your nose at a friendly angle! Just have fun! Bytheway, what coach said is a good thing! Basically he said that he never learned and so he didn´t learn a bad way! Bryan´s going to be able to learn the right way from the begining! And as with every skill, when it doesn´t seem like it´s working go back to the basics!

I hope we´ll still have those baptisms because we haven´t been able to see them for 2 weeks now. We have a ton of new investigators though!

On saturday this week we had a "cosecha"(harvest). We had 6 missionaries in our pueblo doing contacts to sac references. we ended up with 16 references in 2-1/2 hours!!! We weren´t able to go by and visit any yet but that´s a good thing because we were teaching other people and got two new investigators yesterday!

I´m in the liahona... not the ensign but the liahona! There is a seccion for area news and I´m in there from when I was in Jaén! They took a picture of the branch after they got a new branch presidency! :) I ripped out the page and it´s coming home with me!!!

The other day it rained. We caught a bus out to a pueblo and about a minute before we got there it started sprinkling! We didn´t have umbrellas. We did have a cita though! so we walked across the city in the rain and... she didn´t let us in. She had to leave! (GRRRRRRRRRR face) Our other cita also fel through so we went to some other investigators and taught them. They are harvesting grapes right now so they can´t come to church or meet with us... ever! But they were home because it was raining!!!

I got to visit Jaen!!! :D I miss that place! They had a lot more going for them than I ever let myself believe! It was fun talking to Elder Beck. Then we had a mission meeting the next day! I was able to stay awake!... I don´t know how!

My pen broke the other day! I have a request. I was thinking this morning about coins and how when missionaries come home we bring a seleccion of coins from where we serve. Why couldn´t I give friends here coins from the US? I was thinking about having you send some AZ quarters to give to a few people. (not many, maybe about 10).

So that´s been the week! A lot better than last week! I just am still looking forward to next monday! (transfers are on monday instead of wednesday because there´s a transportation strike on wednesday). We´ll do better than we have been lately.

I love you all and hops you all have a great week!
