I was pretty excited to finish with Elder Clifford and some other good friends.

To start the week out, we went to Elder Clifford´s district meeting! During the meeting I realized that it was my last district meeting because this week I´ll be traveling to Guadalajara and my last week we will have a zone meeting, so I was pretty excited to finish with Elder Clifford and some other good friends. I´ll attach a photo of the Americans who were present.

After the district meeting we went on divisions with some other elders whos area is near where we went to the district meeting. I went with Elder Porras who is a good friend of mine. We had some really good lessons. Also, some members who have a mango orchard gave me like 15 pounds of mangoes so that was awesome!

After the divisions we had a somewhat rough week. We were struggling to find people to teach and were getting a little frustrated. Well, I was at least. Friday came along and we had arranged to have a member take us to visit less active members and part member families, but after waiting over an our for him and calling incessantly, he never arrived. The next day (Saturday) we had planned to go with a sister to visit her cousin who we had received as a reference, but she called and said it wasnt going to work out and that he wasnt interested. So thats how things were going for us, then we started our fast after eating on Saturday and arranged to go on splits with the member who couldnt go with us Friday and another couple in the ward. In one night we had more success than we had the entire week! Elder Ojeda and the couple from our ward found a less active family with a 14 yr old daughter who isnt a member and on Sunday they came to church! Its amazing how things work our when you fast, pray, work and do it with the members!

My scripture to ponderize: D&C 81:5-6  "Wherefore, be faithful; stand in the office which I have appointed unto you; succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees. And if thou art faithful unto the end thou shalt have a crown of immortality, and eternal life in the mansions which I have prepared in the house of my Father."

Challenge: Try do reach out and help the missionaries in your ward. It might be hard because they have a big area, but if you reach out and ask how you can help them they will be eternally greatful!!! And you will be blessed so its a win win!

Have a great week! Just 2 weeks left!!!!
