Without gas for a week

  We got pretty filthy this week, we had no gas which means no showers,
no cooking, no washing clothes. This entire past week was a challenge,
not having gas. But we lived, at first I was bummed but then a thought
came to mind "Don´t even think about what you are going to eat or do,
the Lord will provide the means" It turned out as a good learning
experience, I believe these experiences are necessary. Today is the
end of transfers, we get to find out the transfers in a few hours.
       We have a few possible baptisms, and also we are really trying to get
Ugarteche on it´s feet. There is a lot of inactives, but we are
helping the inactives by doing noches de hogares (family home
evenings). We came up with very effective lessons/games, that are
pretty simple. We give them the idea and help them start doing it by
themselves. So far it´s working. Some inactives are making it back to
church!
       Elder Boyle is a great elder, we get a long great. He makes
everything funny, even though are day might not being going super
great he never gets down. We both like Ugarteche a lot. We walk a lot
in Ugarteche, but that doesn´t matter because the people are at least
more humble. It makes up for the city, there is a lot of people in the
city but they aren´t as accepting.
