Man a week!
This week was slow for work but we had a bunch of stuff to do.
we had entrovistas on tuesday, and man I love my mission presidente Calquin. Also we found a perfect family to teach, it was amazing. It started off as trying to find another contact, but then turned into a little message about the Book of Mormon. We came back another day and taught the whole family. The Dad needs to find faith, but man he is so close to finding it. Speaking of which if you guys have a good scripture on faith I would love to hear it. The Mom has amazing faith, when we aasked them to pray about our message she said ´´no, becasue I already know that it is true.´´ I LOVED HEARING THAT. we have beening working more with Gustavo and dudas que el tiene, es no dificil pero es un poco triste, but he is gaining more faith everyday.
In funny stories I had a sonagram on my butt (really lower back) at the hospital the other day, it was really funny. 
Also we have been working with members a lot to have this giant family home evening at the church, it is a lot of work but we are starting to reap the rewards of the work thus far.
Oh another funny story!
I hit one of my investigators the other day, we were joking around and he said the F-word at me long with other stuff and so the first thing that came into my mind was to start slaping his arm until he stopped, he thought it was really funny until I explained what the word means and his face completely changed. Luckly I was able to turn it into a teaching experience about language and how our church doesn´t use words like that.
Also I have email some of you about photos I have never gotten a reply about it.

May 8, 2018 This week we have been working hard to try and fill the area before one of us leaves next week. Gustavo is super close to being baptized this week, we have been working super hard to try and get everything in order to help him get to this point but it is all in his hands now. Transfers will be ending in this week and I really don´t really want to leave this area. The dogs that we have in the pension have been fighting recently and it has been super wierd. My spanish is actually pretty good now, my companion said that I talk in spanish when I sleep now.  Mission life has actually been pretty good here, I have learned a lot about faith and most of all perservierance. In this mission it takes 560 contacts, for 80 investigators for 24 of them to go to church, for 5 of them to become members. For us it has been a great motivator for us to give it all we got in  the mission.  I realy love this mission and quite honestly I don´t really want to change areas or ...
