Week 19~

This week was super good. My comp and I get along really well, we are pretty different but in a good way, I think we complement each other really well in our teaching and in our personalities, which is a little different from Elder Saez because we were really similar..

This week we were very busy helping members of the ward as well as visiting all of the members so that Elder Cac can get to know them better. We helped build a house for this one family which was several hours of work for a couple days in a row and it was pretty tough but Edgardo did basically all of the work. Edgardo offered to basically build the house for this family at a price that was so low that it basically covered the costs of the materials and paid for his friends to help him. Edgardo works out in the campo so he knows all about that stuff so he basically did everything and he had two friends helping him and Elder Cac and I helped where we could. And in three days we built the whole frame of the house which was so cool to see. This member has been waiting and saving up for this to happen for like two years now and it has finally happened for her, there have been so many miracles along the way that have happened to make it possible.

It was amazing to see the amount of service that Edgardo was willing to give to the members, literally the week in between being baptized and being confirmed. He is seriously such an example to me of someone who gives everything. He is always thinking of others and serving. Its so cool to see how God works. He had to help the missionaries to find Edgardo in order for Edgardo to help this family have a home. 

Yesterday we were with Edgardo and Eva and they were telling us how they feel like we are their sons haha and its true, they are like my family here. They are always giving us food and taking us places in their truck to help us out, they are super sweet. Also yesterday I was sitting in their kitchen and all of the sudden a chicken jumped on my lap and it freaked me out cause it was so unexpected haha but it was funny. 

Lots and lots and lots of animals here. Still don't really love them though, but I have definitely become more comfortable with them.Everything is good here!  I am loving the mission. I am so happy all the time.  The church is true!
