Sounds like everything is going great. That´s great to hear about the house, work, neighborhood friends, and Tyler´s mission prep class. We had lot´s of great experiences this week. On Tuesday we helped a man destroy his old wooden hut and then put together a new one, all in 2 hours. Nicole´s father changed his mind and said that she needs to wait until June to get baptized. We´re going to try to get him to agree to a date in Maty. Also Nely will have her birth certificate on Wednesday but now all of a sudden her husband wants to wait until June to get married. I´m not sure why everyone wants to wait until June to repent, but we´re going to try to help them do it sooner. Everyone thinks I´m going home in march, and I feel like it´s better if they don´t know that I wont be here in June. I don´t want their decisions to have anything to do with me or when I go home. I´ve seen it with my other companions that were finishing the mission. It´s kind of like how we shouldn´t know when the second coming is. Our desire should be to repent today, regardless of when the last day we have to repent is. Elder Alfaro is doing great. He´s coming out of his shell and he´s coming up with a lot of great ideas to help us work more efficiently instead of just following me. We´re working on helping the ward members get more excited about missionary work, and helping us out. Rodrigo is doing great! his grandma and extended family are going to come in May for his baptism! He´s still really excited about it. His parents are a losing a little bit of interest, and wanted us to bring Rodrigo to church so that they wouldn´t have to, and we made it very clear to them that we aren´t here for Rodrigo, but the entire family. We have lots of great spiritual experiences daily and we are happy. I hope you all have a great week!
