Happy Birthday Dad

Welp happy birthday dad this week!!! you said you are planning on going to the olive garden...but i think you should go to red lobster...but thats just my idea haha. Well what to say this week. It just goes so quickly that i dont even know what to say. I need to remember to write a list of the things i need to tell you. And im going to try and send some pictures this time haha. These ones in this message are of Family Trejo finally since they are like our second family here you should probably know who they are. And the others were of our hike the other day to the cruz en Ataco. So this week. We arent really visitng marcos and eloisa much. like once a week. We explained about temple marriage and everything. I think that they just need time. It just scares me because with time satan can attack them. They already have had 2 weeks without going to the church. This week maybe i can understand because it was elections here (ill explain more about that in a minute). But yeah, it is just so sad. The last lesson we had with them when we left Eloisa was giving us each a hug and she told us "really thank you so much for every single thing you have taught us". you can tell she wants it. When we were talking with Marcos during the lesson she just started praying quietly...for what...not sure...but you can tell she wants it. Ill keep you updated though, because obviously they mean a lot to me. David Calderon (albas husband) we still are waiting to put a date for baptism with him. He just has fears and for some reason is a little hesitant but he says he knows the church is true and he is always saying it is his church and he wants to be baptized...just maybe needs time to commit to the decision. I think its hard for him because apparently way way back one time when they had recieved the missionaries they both had baptism dates but the day before the backed out and they felt really bad because the missionaries cared a lot for them...so i think its the same thing again. but the difference this time is alba already has been baptized. So hopefuly this week we will be able to put a baptismal date with him. He came to church this sunday so he has his 3 asistencias. I dont know if i have told you but alba found out like 2 weeks ago that her mom has cancer so they have been really stressed with all of that, but the ward has helped out and alba is just taking it a day at a time. Robert Guerrero the guys who drinks we are still working with . The thing is he believes in it all and totally wants to change. He wants to be baptized too. He really just needs time to get over his addiction with alcohol. Weve taught him a lot, so probably just gonna visit him a little each week to help support him in getting over his addiction and so he can come to church. He didnt come to church this week though. We´ll see though. This week was elections on sunday. Apparently it can be really really really dangerous, but it was actually calm. We had rules that we couldnt contact anybody though and a lot of wards only have sacrament meeting. We had all 3 meetings though. Also we could only have lessons with really postive investigators or just visit members, so yesterday was pretty calm. But because of elections it was really hard for the investigators to go to church. We have quite a few new investigators who are really positive. We have received some really good references from the ward members which is great. A lot of our new investigators arent attending another church and a lot of them are passing through a difficult time in their lives, so basically its perfect. There are a few different and i dont really have time to explain all of them, but as they progress ill tell you more about them. But it is really amazing how we can find these people right when they really need the gospel. So yeah this week is changes. Im almost sure i have changes, but like always nobody knows. We find out tomorrow morning. We do know who is going to train though and im not, so im pretty glad for that. I want to train one day, but id like some more time with a different companion to learn more things first. but hermana garbett is going to train, she is super nervous but im way excited for her. We heard rumors that they might be joining the zone again (i dont know if you remember when it split) its kind of sad because they are doing this because we havent been having a lot of baptisms in the two zones...but im secretlely a little happy because if i stay here which is most likely and if they join the zones that means ill get to see hermana garbett not only every monday but also thursday haha. But yeah nobody knows about cambios. this cambio was 8 weeks...two weeks longer than normal, but it went by super super quickly. its definitely taken a lot of patience at times. Also we are going to be moving houses. We found another house and it is much nicer. Im pretty excited because literally our house right now is still so so so hot and i feel like it is a jail cell. But this new house isnt going to be as hot and it has color haha. Still we will only have the necessities as usual, but im kind of excited for that. Anyways things are going great here. It is absolutely crazy that it is february! im almost at 6 months and i cant believe it. I hope all is well for all of you always. You are always in my prayers and im so thankful for your prayers for me! I feel like i forgot something...but oh well. Con mucho amor! Hermana Groneman
