WOW!! The Lord loves to bless us for our work!! I love my Savior soo much!! We are kicking some tail in Bochica!! In our area its pretty dead, but we are workin on changin that around!! I love it!! My comp and I had a good plannin session last week and i told him that i came here to do the Lords will and to baptize the world and just because we are AP doesnt mean a thing, we still are here to baptize, so we organized ourselves, so we can get some work done. I dont like to be in the offices too much, the less the better!!! So we were able to work in our area 4 days this week!! YESS!! We contacted people we taught we did it all!! YES!! It is super hard to talk to the people here, they aint as warm as in the southern parts, its a bit harder to contact people, but the people that listen, legitametly listen and understand us a lot better!! They are better educated and we can talk a bit more a bout doctrine and the people have a real interest that listen to us!! So wednesday in the night time we were walkin to an appointment and some guy crossed the street to talk to us while we were walkin(In this part of town, its ok, it aint dangerous at first i was like crud he s gonna rob us by no!! YEA!! haha) He was like i have a friend who wants to kill himself, what will happen to him after death, what will God do to him!! he caught me a bit off guard but we taught him in the street for a bit and then we was like come on over to my house tomorrow, so we gladly did! He loved the plan of salvation!! IT was great!! God blessed us to meet him. He is called Freddy!! Then we had an appointment on Sunday after church with a 16 year old girl. We were waiting for her to come. She has to have the appointments in the chapel cuz her dad aint a fan of other churchesWe were waiting for her to come and it started to poor down in rain for like 1/2 an hour and then she comes around the corner all drenched!! I was like woow, soo sorry you got super drenched but she was so happy, she was like, theres no price you can put on getting to know Christ!!! I was like wow what a killer response!! She read the book of Mormon like 10 chapters more that we gave her to read!! AWESOME!! She is the best person i have ever met!! Wow!! Second lesson and is spectacular!!
