       I´m pretty exhausted. It´s been a fast but hard week, we have been working really hard. Elder Puga really knows what he is doing and I am learning a ton. Lots of experiences that I want to share... It´s been sorta stressful at times, I actually taught my first lesson with a different elder we did a division and we came to a open the mouth house and she let us in. Her name is jessica, We are going to see what will happen. We have been reactivating families slowly, it´s so amazing how much you can rejoice when you see your efforts start to show. Not than I am boasting in myself.. Just excited to be a tool in the lords hands. We are going to try to work with members, because it is an effective approach.
       My companion is from Peru, 2 peruvians in a row haha. He is a good companion, makes me laugh. Sometimes I don´t understand his crazy fast accent. We get a long almost always, but I get frustrated that I am not flexible enough to fully express myself. I will hit that point hopefully.
       Today we played basketball this morning, we were suppose to play with our ward but they all bummed out. So we were left to play one on one. But now we are going to play chess and monopoly lol. With a stud named jose quiroga. He is 18 and he is preparing for a mission. He is someone I would be good friends with.
       We don´t have an investigator yet. our works are just beginning to show. If we get to come back in one of the 3 houses we taught a lesson this week, we will have an investigator(s). I was having problems with how I could teach effectively. I recently learned how I could apply goals in my life. I thought they were ineffective, but lately I have been puting them in use by studying Preach my gospel over and over again  until I could see how I could make goals realistic and effective. And now it´s starting to show... I will have to show you how I set it up someday. I really put a effort in my goals and study plan. For spanish and in learning the lessons. I also came across a schedule that really answered my question. I started to memorize phrases from PME which was dumb. In D&C 85:83 it says we should treasure the words of life, and I wasn´t really doing that until I found out I was doing it wrong. And just puting what I have learned in my own words, and treasuring it, I could teach with more power. More sincerity, and I realized that we don´t have to teach everything we know. Just teach according to what we feel from the spirit. Pretty cool experience to see the difference it made by applying it. Man I love that I get to have the oppurtunity to learn a lot from the scriptures and the gospel.
       Well thanks for reading. Cuidense. BESITOSSSSSSS
