¡Hello!

I hope that you guys are doing well. This week has been pretty good.

On Wednesday, we did a service project for some less actives on the other side of the zone as kind of a like a zone project. They didn´t have any running water so we ran up the water and I guess that what they are going to do is that they are going to build a house or something. We didn´t get to the building the house part of the service project because it took a little bit longer to do everything than we thought that it would.

And then, that night, we had like a fireside with a real fire in the parking lot of the church. So that was awesome. Elder Xovín really doesn´t like contacting so a lot of this week, we spent with nonmembers. And we ended up having 3 different less active families come to church yesterday. So that was cool.

We went to an active family to sacar some referencias and it turned out that she already had a less active friend there. So I pulled out Alma 32:26-27 and was like "this is how I know that everything in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true--because I have experimented and prayed about it. That´s how I know that Jesus Christ atoned for our sins and that through him we can live with Heavenly Father again after this life, and how Joseph Smith was a prophet of God who restored the gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth again...." And then at the end of the lesson she said that she was going to come to the church with her friend on Sunday and she actually came which is a big deal because they never come to church when they say they will even when we try to pick them up from their house! So that was awesome.

And then I went on splits with someone who used to be in my area and they showed me some more houses that my comp and I can visit and teach! Yesterday, we went on changes with the district leader and so I was in his area and we even put a baptismal date! They said that they will be baptized if they know through oración que everything is true! So that was awesome!

Oh, and on martes the day after I wrote you guys we had a district meeting and for the zone leader who was there it was his last district meeting of his whole mission. He is going home in like... I don´t know but soon. And Elder Sigler who was my comp last change is going home after this change too! That is crazy! I already have almost 5 months on the mission and that will be me soon! So I have a lot of work to do.

Sorry this is so short but I have to go. Have an amazing week!

I love you guys!

Love,

Elder Froelich
