Hola familia, This week was pretty crazy. I got a little sick with the stomach flue but I got over it in two days. It's not the worst I've had so it was all good. I'm 100 percent now so we are working hard once again. We had a couple of trials with our investigators and we had a rough time getting them to church. But we still have a lot of hope that the Lord is going to guide us to a family that needs the gospel in their lives and that are going to be very thankful to recieve it and also live it. We had a long day of talking to people Sunday. The sun was really hot and we weren't having much success but we finally made an appointment with a couple that we had found last week. The first lesson we taught them was about the book of mormon and we also gave them a copy. They were going to go to church yesterday but they couldn't go and they felt bad when we got to their house yesterday. They thought that we were going to be mad. Once we arrived there they asked us if we had come to get our book back from them. They also told us that they were sorry. But we explained that it was ok and we began to teach them again. It was cool too. The lady told us that she had a dream that the second coming happened and that she was judged and God told her she had already had her chance to follow His gospel and that she didn't accept that opportunity when he sent his servants to knock on her door. She said that she woke up crying because it was so real. She then said that after her dream, she prayed that she would be able to have a chance once again before He came. Right after that, we got to her house and she thinks that we could be the answer to her prayers. Elder Blaser and I testified that we knew we were the answer to her prayers and that He is giving her this opportunity to enter into His kingdom so that she can be, and will be prepared for the second coming of Christ. We left that appointment really surprised and really excited to be able to teach them. We truly hope that they can continue to progress and that the Lord will continue to prepare them to accept our teachings and that they will be able to act upon what the spirit teaches them. They are a couple with 2 kids back in Sucre that are waiting until their house is completely finished out here so they can come live here too. Whatever happens, we know the Lord will prepare the way. Once again, I'm excited to tell you how things go next week. I hope you all have an awesome week.   Love, Elder Christoffersen
