Sounds like everybody´s doing good back home which is always good to hear. Our week here was alright; it could have been a lot better but I'm not complaining. We are working hard and know that we are going to be seeing results very soon now. We tried some new things out this week and well it worked out pretty well. We decided that working on our own isn´t getting us very far so we are turning it up a notch on working with the members. We might not see too many results from it right away but they will come. We are trying to have two to three family nights at members homes with our investigators weekly and we made a calender for doing splits with the aaronic and melchezidek priesthood holders and passed it around in priesthood so they could sign up as we explained to them the plan. We also have some missionary activities with the ward that we are planning so we are stoked to see how it's all going to work out for us. We hope to get the ward a lot more excited about getting involved in the work.
This last week we had a family night on Monday with the Cruces family and the ward mission leader and again on Friday with the Cruces and the stake president and his family and it worked out fantastic. It strengthens the bonds between members and investigators and is testimony building for them. In conclusion, it's just a win-win situation. For work issues that usually don't happen, Jose Cruces (the Dad) won't be able to attend church next week' and couldnt attend this week but after that he will be fine. They are excited to get baptized and we will be putting a fecha with them this week for the 26th of March. They are an awesome humble family and you can truly see that they just want to follow Christ better and do what's right. They were atheist before but they´ve already seen how the gospel has blessed families here and they want it for their own family.
We have some other good investigators that are progressing as well but for one reason or another they were not able to go to church this week so I will talk more about them as they start to progress faster and go to church. The beginning of the week was kind of rough because my comp hurt his neck pretty bad somehow and couldn't really move it or even walk for a day so we lost one day of work on Tuesday, but thankfully it slowly got better during the week after many icy hot patches and muscle relaxers and now he is back to normal and we are at the normal fast pace of working again. Also we have cambios tomorrow but me and my comp Elder Bustos are staying together so we are excited about that. Everyone else in our zone though had cambios and most of our zone next cambio will be different. Also due to a decrease in the amount of missionaries in the mission two of the sectors in our zone were closed and so we are going to be down four missionaries this next cambio. I was kind of bummed because one of the sectors that they are closing is Monte Águila. It will be rough for the members there but what can you do? It made me a little sad but hopefully as we get more missionaries in the mission they will be able to put missionaries back there. Hopefully sooner then later because it's a great sector and needs missionaries. But oh well. Oh and my son Elder Ahart is coming up to the zone now and is going to have a great comp and so that will be cool to see him again.
Well due to my comp being discapacitated for a couple of days,' Im about out of things to say for this email but I love you all very much and am very excited to have a good next cambio and of course to BAPTIZE!!! After all,' thats why we are here. To bring people unto Christ, and the only way to come unto Christ is through the waters of baptism. Yeah so until next week CIAO!!!!!!
con cariño, Elder Harper
