Week 15 - November 11

Buenas Día everyone, This past week we have had a few changes in the way we count our lessons, and such so now numbers are put lower and we focus on better lessons and the people even more my companion hna Tanner and i are quite happy, i always felt pressured to have high numbers but the changes are going to help. we have been teaching a 12 year old girl Trinidad she goes to church with her friend most Sundays, her mom is a less active and dad is not a member both are very nice but wont sit in on the lessons and don't really care that we are teaching their daughter shes not sure if she wants to be baptized, something scares her we are not sure what but she knows that if she gets baptized its a good thing, also teaching Don Pedra a 50ish man who is very open feels the spirit when we come but still hasn't come to church, said that he waiting for god to show him the right church we have tried to help him understand that he needs to act its part of faith there are a new family we are teaching is Buchanan the dad is a bit different, definitely the one in charge but we feel if he wold stop trying to teach us and let his wife and daughter,speak they would learn more the wife and daughter are more open so i hope we can get to teach them the father believes in all the prophets, even Joseph smith but not in the living one says the holy ghost is the profeta, we have heard about the stuff in the Philippines my companion has a friend there he went with out food for 4 days not to long ago and now another disaster, wow when i think i have it hard i think of the others i mean all i dont have is water in our apartment luckily the members do so we are bless to go and shower and leave our laundry at the members home this morning, we had rain yesterday it got pretty cold but i loved it thought it felt so good, its becoming tourist season so we met a few people from Ireland,England and one from Africa a British colony i think its fun to see where people are from most don't know any Spanish and still spend a lot of time here it would be a lot of fun.  So something interesting we found out this week is that we think we are cousins my comp hna Tanners mom maiden name is Kunz from Driggs ID she knows shes from one of the wives of a John Kunz but thats all kinda funny who you meet. well i love you hope you send pictures from halloween and tell me all about thing 

love Hna Smith
