Hola Familia,
Well, this week has been pretty good. We have been able to find about 7 new investigators this week, a few of which seem positive. There are more members in this ward. I think, because the attendence was 63ish and there were apparently a few families missing or imcomplete... But all is going well. I can see the ocean from my area, and there is a possiblity that I will visit the beach that is part of my area...
There are a few things that pull at my heart. One is that there is an investigator who seems to already have a testimony, but the man she is living with (a mistake form a long time ago) doesn´t want to leave; he hits them (her, her son, and his daughter). She seems to adore the missionaries, esp. my companion, because they have hepled her with these hard times. And there is danger if they go the the police because they don't always act, which would make things terribly worse afterwards. She hopes to move in with a sister at the end of the year, but has to wait until then for some reason ... Also there is a youth and mother in the branch that also might have the same problem...
I have felt pretty strongly the love of the members here. The mission leader is called an angel by some memers, and I think it is fitting. He is 26 and waiting to see if the church will respond to send him on a misison or not...
I cleaned the bathroom a bit. I made my own rice the other day. I plan to cut my own hair again with the ... hair cutter machine... that I bought in the last area to eventually save the church money on my haircuts (which normally cost about 2 or 2.50)
Well, one photo is me saying goodbye to my last area, another some of the youth in this new ward after we played soccer with them...I don't remember the others I put but I am running out of time, so I will right more next week. Keep studying the scriptures; I am in Alma ch 50s right now, and Moroni is always inspiring (as well as Lehi and Teancum, Helaman and the 2000 youth...)
Love,
Elder Niendorf
