Another week in the field!

Here is an update on all of our most solid investigators:
Daisy: she is from Guatemala and she works a lot!! She has a daughter that is 11 and they live in the apartments right next to us. We have taught her once and that was about a month ago. We lost contact with her for awhile becuase she missed a couple appointments because of work. We had a really good first lesson with her and she said that she would be baptized, but she has yet to come to church. We have a lesson planned with her on Wednesday night so hopefully she is there so we can teach her again.

Javier: He is from Honduras and lives in the same apartment complex as a couple members. We had a really good first lesson with him too, but his wife isn't really into church a whole lot, so we haven't been able to get back and teach. He has kind of fallen off the map, so hopefully we find him again. 

Griselda, and Maria Esperanza: Maria is Griselda's mom and they are from Guatemala. We have taught them twice, but they don't really have any desire to come to church, they just enjoy learning about the scriptures and listening to us. We have a lesson with them tomorrow so hopefully we can help them get to church.      

And those are all the people that we are still in contact with. Other than that there are about 20 other people that we have taught a lesson in the past month or so and we just can't find again and they don't answer their phone. So it is really frustrating but we just keep hitting the pavement and knocking and finding more people. Our biggest hope right now is Daisy and her daughter, other than that we are just trying to find some more solid people. The week consisted of a lot of knocking and talking to people. I have a wicked farmers tan! haha But that is the update for this week. I am loving the mission!! It is hard but I am still bettering myself and learning a lot! It is such a great place to be! I hope you all have a great week!
