Hope

Well, this week hasn't been the best in the world. We lost three investigators yesterday, for various reasons. Without them, the work in this area is probably going to be moving really slowly. I'm still going to work my very hardest though. My Father in heaven has done so much for me, and I owe it to Him to work my hardest while I'm out here. My new companion (Elder Dominguez) is a great guy. He is actually a convert to the church. He was only baptized two years ago. After a year of being a member of the church, he decided to serve a mission. About two months ago, while on his mission, his mother was baptized into the church. He still has many siblings and extended family members who aren't members yet, but he knows that they will join someday, whether it be in this life or the next. He has a powerful testimony of the gospel, and lots of thought and insights that I had never thought of before. He is from El Salvador, and speaks English very well. Every now and then he asks me what a word means or what something is called, but we have no problem communicating with each other. I'm excited to get to know him better and to teach with him more. Pray that we can find some new investigators this week, cause we'll need it. I have absolute trust in my Father in heaven to lead me to who He need me to find, when He wants me to find them. Even though the work is going slowly lately, my heart is still so full of joy. What a blessing it is to have the knowledge of the gospel that we have. What an honor it is to be a messenger of the Lord. Love you all!
