WE HAD CHANGES!!!! Elder Herrera is my new comp and he is bien chistoso (very funny).
Creo que nosotros vamos a tener un cambio bien suave. Èl quiere trabajar porque su ultimo comañero no trabajò mucho (I believe we are going to have a very cool transfer. He wants to work because his last companion did not work very much)
We already talked about all that and I told him that we have a lot of work and I want it ALL done at the end of this six weeks. He then said, "Pues, podemos divertirnos un poco. Estoy bien con algunas cosas." Yo dijè, (‘Well, we can have a little fun. I’m okay with a few things’)
"Yo no. Yo voy hacer todo correcto y si no me quiere seguir, no voy a jalarlo. Pero voy a poner el ejemplo." (‘Not me, I’m going to do everything right and if you don’t want to follow my lead, I’m not going to drag you. However, I will set an example for you’)
I`m a little proud of that because I don`t have the most will power in the world, but I am really getting better. My time with Hernandez helped a lot. I wasn`t having problems with Elder Hernandez, but he stopped talking to me and I could just feel that there was something under his skin. I figured that I shouldn`t pull it out so I asked only once. He said there was nothing so I dropped it. We ended working really well. We found 3 people this last week and they are AWESOME!!!
First is Guillermo (WIlliam in English). He started off telling us that he knows that his church is wrong and that it is as revelations says, "La gran Ramera del mundo". (‘Mother of harlots and abominations of the earth’) I forgot how to say it in English.

He is looking for the truth and believes our words that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and he is VERY excited to read it. He said, "Solo es que.... SIENTO algo quando ustedes hablan de este libro y yo creo que es verdad. Yo quiero saber mas de Cristo entonces estoy muy emocional a leer este escritura." GOLD!!!! (‘It’s only that… I feel something when you speak of this book and I believe that it is true. I want to know more about Christ so I am very excited to read this book of scripture, GOLD!!!’)
Next is Carmen. She told us she lived inTijuana for years with her family, but her brother got lost somehow. They don`t know where he is. He had papers to go to America so it`s possible he is there, or so she thinks. She then said that they were very close.
Next is Carmen. She told us she lived in
One night she had a dream that he came to her and said, "Yo estaba castigado, pero Mamà vino a salvarme y ahora soy libre. Aqui esta Mamà." (‘I was punished, but Mom came to save me and now I’m free. Mom is here’)
Her mother then walked out from behind him. She woke up crying from joy. I don`t know why I asked this because it was just very random with the conversation, but I asked, "Y cuantos años tiene su Mamà?" (‘and how old is your mom?’)
"Ella murio hace muchos años." (‘She died many years ago’)

We then knew what happened to her brother but we didn`t have time to explain it to her at that moment and it just seemed better to let her realize it on her own, so we left the.... folleto (pamphlet) of the Plan of Salvation and testified of what it was and how it is truly the plan that God has for us. I am super excited about teaching her!!!
That`s my time yall! I love you and I hope you are all well! I will be commenting of General Conference and the speakers for the next few weeks so be sure to tune in!!!
