Week 55!

yo wussp wussp everboday???

i'm livin it up down here in the guay!!!  it's been a fun week this week,  first off...  Vanessa, Matìas, y Sofìa got confirmed this sunday!!!  now they are officially members of La Iglesia De Jesucristo De Los Santos De Los Ùltimos Dìas!!!  that was definitely the best part of this week that they have completed that tough step.  now comes the even tougher part, ENDURE TO THE END!!!  we've been talking lots with them about that kind of stuff and bringing other members to their house to keep them more involved in the church.  actually we did a family home evening with them, the family of the first councilor, the bishop's family, and some more investigatores yesturday night at the church and we watched the movie "Joseph Smith: Profet of the Restoration"  and everyone actually LOVED IT!!!  that movie is soo powerful showing all of the trials that he went through and all the other saints as well endured during that time.  i think it really affected vanessa and her kids because she just kept telling me about how fantastic the movie was and how shocked she was that all of that happened to Joseph Smith.  but it was a really great Ward family night.  this week we took that dad of Vanessa to a few visits with investigators on tuesday,  we decided to pass by an ex-investigator that we haven't been able to find for like a month.  turns out that Josè and this ex-investigator worked together like 30 years ago!!!  it was super cool because Josè was able to relate to this guy (Carlos) because of this expirience that they had together.  we had no idea that they worked together and my comp had never met carlos before so he couldn't have known that either.  they both worked in the Police of Montevideo.  so that was kiterally the hand of the lord in our lives to hsve us recieve the feelings to go to this guys house that i almost forgot that he used to listen to the missionaries before.  tomorrow we get to go to Salto for a Zone Conference so i'm pretty excited!  but honestly not too much happened this week... that is definitely the most exciting stuff that happened this week.  today we had to clean the house again and we had to bleach the walls because there was mold on the walls so now the house is filled with the sweet smell og recently bleached cement!  hahaha 

love you all and always talk to EVERYONE about the gospel,
