This week has been pretty crazy for us and we will have another one coming. Elder Terron and I have been working super hard to get more investigators. The bummer thing is that we have been having a hard time finding new areas to knock. We've been slowly finding but we are doing our best and trying to find still. So something super cool is that this week we will be receiving Facebook and the area book planner app!!! In not sure how everything is going to work out with that but it should be interesting. So me and elder Terron are getting a long fairly well😀 he's a stud and always helps me out in District Meeting or during the week when I have to do call ins or something else like that. Some words of advice that elder lytle gave me is always treat your companion like your best friend. That's helped me out a lot and helps you work through any struggles you may have with a companion.
This week one of the best things that happened to me is that we got Lima to church (even though she's been coming for awhile). And I was able to go on exchanges with some of the elders in my district. So something kinda weird about my district is I've only got 2 companionships and 1 is in a trio. So the elders aree the ones in a trio which can make for some weird exchanges some times. But being the solo District leader has been probably one of my greatest learning experiences on the mission. One reason is no one tells you how you should run your district and two you're responsible for every person inside your district. This for me has been a little bit stressful but I love it. I love trying to help everyone in my district and learning from my mistakes because there is definitely a lot of them.
So our investigators are doing really well. Lima is on track to be baptized soon and we are getting super close with the familia Castillo. The thing we are trying to overcome with them is finding times that we can meet with araceli (we call her mama celi) and having them keep reading the BOM. Right now we are thinking about trying to do Skype lessons with them because they all have different busy schedules. But we will see what happens.
Something I learned this week is that it's a lot easier to accomplish things when you're organized. That's always something I've kinda struggled with but I'm setting goals to overcome it poco al poco. But other than that it's been a pretty good week. I hope that everyone is doing well back home les quiero muchisimo we lea vayan bien.
