Well another week has gone by in the mission and as always Im working hard and learning new things. Last Tuesday we had the opportunity to meet with Presidente Hintze and his family during a meeting with all of the people in the new mission. Him and his family are from Utah and they have 5 kids if I remember correctly. One of their daughters just got off her mission from Hong Kong, and get this she served with Bubba and Freddy Woods! ha Small world we live in. Its a little wierd being with a new Presidente but he and his family seem really great and I have a feeling lots of great things are going to come about out of this new mission. This week weve met with a lot of new investigadores who are teenagers. Its different when youre trying to teach teenagers because they get distracted easily, but weve found that if we use the pamphlets and we review what weve taught that they understand more easily. Right now we are teaching the Familia Fuentes and they are really great, were trying to work with them to gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon because right now theyre unsure of the reason we have the BofM. Were also working with another family, Miriam, her baby Nicole, her father, and her cousin Oscar. They like the lessons and they had a baptism date but that fell through because they havent attended church. Our biggest problem that we face here is that our investigadores dont attened church. We go to thier houses in the morning to pick them up, we do service for them the night before so that they can be ready to go in the morning, but always they seem to have some excuse for not going. So right now for our investigadores were trying to figure out the best way to get them to church and how to help them gain a testimony of the BofM. Unfortunatley none of our investigadores came to church but all of our menos activos that weve been working with came so thats definitely a good thing. This up coming week we have members to take with us when we visit our investigadores which I think will really help because when investigadores have the opportunity to hear from a member they seem to be more responsive. Well I hope that you are all well and once again thanks for all of the support and prayers! Love, Hermana Ontiveros P.S.
