MLC & The Salinas being bosses!

This week we had our MLC one monday and tuesday, that's why I didn't have much time at all to write emails last week! It was a great meeting, they taught us a lot about how to help the zone. It was companion's first time being at one, because he's never been a zone leader before. I had a chance to work with one of my old companions, who is going home at the end of the transfer. it's weird to see how different we both are than just a few month ago.

we had a competition this week to see how many people we could find to start teaching, it was really successful and it was a lot of fun to see how motivated people get! might as well use their pride to motivate people to work harder!

The salinas family is doing great! they got confirmed yesterday and the daughter, Eilyn was already at seminary this morning! it has been awesome to see how fast and thoroughly they've excepted the gospel! I really know that there are people like that all over the world!

we leave for McAllen again today, this time for 4 days! it's been hard to get things done here in Brownsville. But I know that things will all be ok, even though we only have 3 days to work in our area this week! But the work goes on! we're working hard, and the days keep on going faster! I'm afraid about how fast the next short months are going to go.

love you lots!
