This week was interesting as it usually/always is in the mission. In our zone we have 2 brand new missionaries! They are 2 gringos who came from the MTC in Mexico, at the same time that my brother left for the field! We spent alot of our time this week helping out the missionaries in our zone, so I had a little time to talk to the new guys and see how they`re doing which was fun. Their spanish is actually not too bad! One of them happens to have seen my brother around at gym time at the MTC! It is fun to see their excitment to have the chance to teach real investigators.
We had a leadership council with the Mission President in which we learned many things that will help us have more succes. There was a focus on the Book of Mormon, and he encouraged us to always have a Book of Mormon at hand, literally, while we are preaching all day.
As for our investigators, we are teaching ¨Robofoco¨ who came to church again this week! He is very excited and has a baptismal date for the 16th! He surprised us this week, as I found that he speaks English! He`s actually really fluent as well. We are teaching some other investigators as well, some who have accepted baptismal dates and others no.
I`m happy to have this opportunity to be a missionary in the work of the Lord. I love being here and preaching the gospel! The Book of Mormon is the word of God, and those who read it will come closer unto Christ.

PS Serving the missionaries in other sectors I had the chance to go to Calderon, another sector in Puerto Nuevo where I was in around January. It was awesome to see some converts again and active, as well as others who had baptismal dates when I left who have been baptized and are active! The converts that had those Motor Taxis (Motorcycle with a rigged on metal cart behind to make it basically a car) were especially excited; one of the guys basically tackled me with a hug. Fun to see old faces again!
