Pretty Much the Best

Romero and Layton

Well Salto es pretty much lo mejor :) It has been a fun week.

First off, it is amazing to have a new prophet. Preisdent Nelson is so inredible. What a great servant. And no, I hadnt heard of the story of Monson, that is incredible. About Nelson, I heard that he has been shoving the driveways of his neighborhood, and keeps getting up earlier to beat out the members that want to do it for him hahaha. What an inredible person. Also, it is cool, because his grandson is in our mission. He has like 5 months i think. But then again President Nelson has so many grandkids and great grandkids, that I am sure there are enough for one to be in each mission in the world hahaha jk.

Elder Romero and have focused a ton this first full week on finding and we have found a ton of people. Elder Romero teaches really well too, so it has been fun, and I am learning a lot. A couple of those people we have found are a couple named Rosario and Ramon. They are super awesome, and they have that `verdadera intencion` that is so important when wanting to know the truth. They have never met with the missionaries before and actually just started going to a church a few months ago, which is the first time in their lives they have done so. They feel a little bad they are starting to learn about God so late in their lives because their kids are all teenagers and don`t really care now, but they are really interested in the lessons and especially the Book of Mormon. Rosario told us that she always saw the missionaries walking by, walking to one neibor, and then the other, but that they had never made it to their house. Also, Bishop came with us to a charla yesterday we had with him and he helped a ton. Obispo Conti is a stud! He knows his stuff. He wants to leave with us every weekend now as well!

The Dog That Scares Romero

We were able to watch the conference presenting the new first presidency. I know that President Nelson is the man that God has chosen to help us follow our Savior in these last days. I am grateful for his example and service to the church. I am grateful to have a living prophet on the earth today. The Gospel is so incredible.

Elder Romero has been teaching me a little beatboxing haha. He is pretty much professional, it is crazy. He apparently got third in a national competition in Peru and almost got to go to the states to compete. Super awesome. As soon as I get a new camera, I will try to send some videos if I can :) Right now, I am learning something called `throat bass`. It is pretty cool. Look it up if you don`t know what it is. Sounds like a robot haha.

A few investigators we are teaching came ot church on Sunday! A couple named Eduardo and Maria came, and they have a marriage date and a baptismal date for Feburary 9th!! We also had a fairly new investigator named Estefani come. She apparently really liked it, and said she would like to bring her partner next week, who was camping with friends this time.

Salto is hoooooooot...... but the best :)

Love you guys! Have a great week!
