Strong Testimonies

We had a pretty slow week this week. It seemed like we were doing so well with teaching and then we came to look at what we got done and it was very little. Oh well, we made a lot of progress this week on figuring out what needs to be done.

Our investigators are about the same. They love to listen but are struggling with their commitments. We will have to see how they continue to go.

Jona is still holding out strong. Earljohn is still listening but still struggling to get to church. We went to pick him up for church but he was too tired to come. I guess he needs a stronger testimony of the gospel. The Elisa family is doing good. They have such strong testimonies. They still haven't come to church and we were able to find out their concern so now we get to focus on that to help them overcome that hurdle. We were able to get back to Mylene Villarosa. She is doing good. Lots of questions about the gospel. She is extremely busy with school but we were able to figure out her schedule so we can now make plans to help her and to continue teaching her and her sisters.

Elder Monzales got sick again this week. This has been a big trial between us because he has been getting sick a lot so we haven't been able to work as much as we would like. I got to clean the house and we were able to find some old records that could help us in the future to find more investigators. That has also been a trial. We have been searching but haven't found very much and when we do find, we go back and they aren't there. It is a working progress but I am sure that we will get more success in the coming weeks.

As far as rain, there hasn't been any rain this week!!! It has been nice weather for the most part and the other part it has been extremely hot. We are sweating a lot. It has been a quick change but I am ok with it.

Love you all,

Elder Nielsen
