13 months - Nueva Casa

Hyrum and Joseph talked this morning, Hyrum was sharing how much he loved EFY this past week at BYU, so much that he's kinda depressed to be back. He wishes he could wake up and be back at EFY. Joseph said "Do you know what's even better than EFY? A mission!!" Hyrum's reply made me laugh "Yeah, but EFY was easy, and a mission is hard!" To quote Kip Dynamite "That's true, that's true..."

Alright so we changed houses this week! It was actually pretty tiring but we are getting settled in now and our new house isn't humid like the last one which is nice. We have to climb up some stairs to leave everyday to leave the house though but it will give us some good exercise. After we finished moving Elder Tercero said that he is never going to change houses again in his mission.

Other than that in teaching this week it was super great! Salomon is reading the Book of Mormon and finished 1 Nephi this week. He said that if it he feels what he feels when he reads the bible then he will know it is true. We are praying hard for him. Also Rigoberto came to church again and hasn't been reading the Book of Mormon that much so we read with him and his son Junior. We won't be able to visit them this week though because they will be "de viaje". We had a lot of people not come to church this week though. Actually Rigoberto was the only one that came (in both wards) so it was pretty disappointing but we are working on being more direct with people and getting them to commit to come and help them follow through.

We also had a great visit with a guy named Luis this week. We found him while ago but he can only visit on Sundays and sometimes they leave on Sundays but we taught him and his wife again this week and I think there is a lot of potential. He really wants to keep all the commandments and so, in addition to teaching about the restoration, we taught about the 10 commandments, the 2 greatest commandments, and the higher law that Christ taught. They are a great family.

I wanted to talk a little bit about prayer. When we pray we can literally open the heavens. There is a part in Chapter 4 of Preach my gospel about praying with faith that you should all read. I know that if we knock, He will answer!
