Cake, Mr Pig, and a house... finally.

Hola Todos!

This week was really hard and really great. We had lesson after lesson fall through, so most of our lessons have been with members, and we've been walking everywhere. We've found some great people to teach, but it´s hard to stay on top of them.

We found one man who has been having some really hard family problems and was praying to know what to do before we knocked on his door. He makes soccer balls for a living, and has a big reason to need the gospel in his life.

We also started teaching the nonmember nephew of the branch mission leader, and he has a baptismal date set for June 2. He isn´t super social, so we are going to try to find him a friend that can help him feel welcome in the church.

The branch is really great. This fast and testimony meeting, almost everyone bore their testimony, so Elder Sócola and I didn´t get the chance. 

There is a meat store here that keeps a dead pig (se llama Mr. Pig) outside of the store for a couple days before cooking it and selling it. Yuck!

Because Tuesday was my sister's birthday party, we bought a really big and tasty cake from a local bakery for seven dollars. Things are a lot cheaper here, except technology, cars and shoes (because they aren't made here). I heard that an Iphone X here is about 2000 dollars. Eek!

We´ve been sleeping in other Elder´s houses for the past two weeks since we´ve been here, and finally we´ve found our own apartment to rent! It is decent sized with a living room two bedrooms a big kitchen and a nice bathroom. A lot of the furniture in it is older, but overall it is a really nice place, and I am excited to have our own house, that is in our sector so we don´t have to walk or ride the bus as often. It will help our schedules be a bit more solid, because right now we haven´t had a lot of time to study because we have been walking so much.

I don´t have my camera right now, but I will send pictures of the house, the cake, and maybe something else exciting, funny, or random next week.

Gracias por todo sus oraciones!
