Hey!

...

And Rolando and his family are looking less and less positive every single day. They looked golden and were doing everything that they said that they would do with our commitments but they are starting to not do them. They live with their parents who are not in agreement with what we are teaching and it looks that they are discouraging them from talking to us anymore. So we have a lesson with them tonight to see what we can do about them but it is not looking good. Last time, we left them with the commitment to pray to find out if they should be baptized and so tonight, we are going to see if they prayed. I hope that they can continue to progress because that would stink if we had to drop them.

BUT the two people who went to church this last week, we just put a baptismal date with them for the 17th of this month! We are really excited about it. We showed them Galatas 5:22-23 about the fruits of the spirit and then we asked them if they had felt any of those things when they went to church and they said YES! So I am really excited about them.

And with Hermana Fania, we visited with her on Saturday and she said that she just got dismissed from her job that made her work on Sundays and that she will be able to come to church with us next Sunday. And she has an entire family who is not even baptized yet (because she distanced herself from the church a little while ago but got a family with kids and daughter in laws and the whole thing). So we are excited to start working with her. We have been getting a really blessed lately.

AND I got a new companion! His name is Elder Fuentes and he is from Honduras. He, like me, was raised from a regular missionary to a zone leader. Which means that I am the senior companion in the senior companionship in the zone. Which means that I am training him as a zone leader, which means that I am kind of training right now. It is as close as I have ever gotten though, so I am excited about it. He is a really great guy though. But shoot! I have never felt so not ready for a job before in my life. But I have been applying Ether 12:27 as much as I can and God has definitely been helping me a whole lot. And that combined with the fact that I did yesterday means that I am going to start being blessed ridiculously! So we´ll see how all of that goes but I will keep you guys updated. BUT something that I am super excited for is that in my Zone came in THREE new Elders! In all of the three zones of Xela there were 3 missionaries sent but in just my zone there are three! And they are all sooo pilas, Hna Morgan, E Chicas and E Hansen. They are really great missionaries-I can already tell that they are the future of this mission. I am so pumped that you do not even KNOW! I seriously have a half, extremely content smile on my face just writing to you guys to tell you about it.

This week is going to be really exciting too because we are doing so many things. Today, obviously, P-Day. Tomorrow, E Fuentes and I get to go down to Xela for the Zone Leaders counsel. Wednesday, E Fuentes and I get to have a zone meeting where we tell them all of the things that we learned. Thursday, there is a training meeting for the new trainers and the greenies. AND Friday, the president and his assistants (one of whom is Elder Ronfeldt who was my companion a million years ago in Canquixaja in Momostenango) and on Saturday, we are going to help an area move stuff out of their house because they just closed down an area! OH BOY. So I am excited.

Well, read your scriptures, pray, do everything else that you know that you need to be doing, and you´ll be blessed (3 Nephi 13:32-33). I love you guys!

Love,

Elder Froelich
