 Car they drive

Alright so another week done already haha wow! So this week was kind of a slow week! First we had splits this week and I went with Elder Pacheco (my DL) and it was really good haha. He is actaully a really cool guy and he helped me alot with my missionary teaching and finding skills. We talked so much and just had a great time. Switching back to my companion was rough because I had alot to talk to him about and how we needed to make alot of changes so that I would be happy in the work too. Because I figured out I was bending backwards to much so that he would be happy to the point that I wasn't happy haha. So we had to find a middle point which meant I had to use Sr. comp authority and I hate having to do it but... Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. But it went really well we had a good Comp Inventory ( or a talk) and everything is going really well now. I know what to expect out of him and he knows what to expect out of me. But other then that our week was really slow. Not to many lessons just lots of finding! But i've been using the texting alot to get members move involved with teaching so we had 3 lessons with members present this week which was awesome. Junior Rosa will be getting baptised in the next 2 weeks or so. We talked to him and his dad last night and he knows just about everything so its all good to go. We taught Marcos this week with our ward mission leader who served in brazil and it was sweet. We taught the plan of salvation all in portuguese and they understood it pretty well. I love this guy, Marcos Rosa, he is so sweet. Makes me want to go to Brazil :). And we got Bro. Swan to go with us to a lesson with like 10 Cape Verdeans and it was awesome the spirit was so strong and we answered their questions about " being saved" haha it was sweet. Bro. Swan is really awesome I like him alot we have dinner with them again tonight and he has been keeping me updated with Jimmer and BYU!!! That has been rough for me, not watching March Madness haha but Sacrifice brings blessings right. My wife is going to be BEAUTIFUL!! :) I had to translate again to a Brother at church yesterday and half way through I realized that I was saying Chastity istead of Charity haha which sucked and we laughed really hard at that one because he was just being patient with me :) but Im gettting better at translating! Other then that.. the week was normal. I got one letter from Nate this week haha which Puts my letter count at 1 in 2 weeks haha but im expecting that pkg soon. I love you all and miss you all, The church is true, I Know it!!
