Hey everyone this week was awesome!! We started off the week helping out a member build a bathroom!! The member called us and said she needed help with something and we went not knowing what we were going to do. When we got there she told us that we were going to build a bathroom! The good news is that her neighbor has built bathrooms for over 20 years so he is helping us a lot!! I will keep you all updated on how the bathroom construction progresses.

Unfortunately my companion was sick for a couple of days this week, but it was great for me because i had a lot of free time to study!! I was reading in the Book of Mormon and i just remember thinking how lucky we are to have that book to study and learn from. If there is anyone who doesnt know what the Book of Mormon is/ hasn't read it, I invite you to read it and i promise it will be a blessing for you and will ultimately change your life.

We are still teaching Evelin and she is doing great! The Lord really prepared her so much and now she is making the adjustments to change her life and keep the commandments of God. 

There is a new investigator that we found this week and his name is Javier. He is 17 years old and super interested in the church and has been really receptive to everything we have taught him. He is a really smart kid and loves to read so he has been reading in the Book of Mormon and has a lot of great questions for us every time we meet with him. 

Another thing that was really cool was that Elder Tello and I have been looking and praying to find a family to teach for the past week and one of the members told us yesterday that we should go and talk to their neighbors because they just moved in recently and didnt know much about them. So we went and talked to them and they are awesome!! Its a family of 5 and they are super cool. We already feel like there is a good connection between us and we are super pumped to go back and teach them this week!! It was a miracle that we found them and it strengthened my testimony so much in prayer and fasting. 

I know that prayer is real. It is such a great opportunity we have to communicate with our Heavenly Father. Through prayer we can strengthen our relationship with God and I know that is true because i have felt it and seen it in other people. I invite all of you to pray at least twice a day and i promise you all that you will begin to feel a difference in everything that you do. 

Love all of you guys! Hope everyone has a great week!!
