Hola querida familia, espero que todo está bien con ustedes. :)

It sounds like you guys are doing just swell. I know Jocelyn is being blessed beyond comprehension, and that miracle tumor idea is genius. I knew Brett had good looks AND good ideas. We are praying here in San Pedro for jocelyn and you guys, me and my companion know that if we pray like everything depends on the Lord, then get up and work like everything depends on us, He will bless us, and the people we pray for;families, investigators, members, the WHOLE world.

This week was at times a little tough, but those are the times where you learn the most right? Sometimes when you work hard, you need to realize satan is working hard too. Its our responsibility to give and show our investigators the tools to win the struggle and temptation. seeing people come so close and then take those steps backward isnt easy, and thats when discouragement wants to creep in..BUT! That weakens your effectiveness as a missionary, and as a spiritual vessel. So me and my companion are NOT going to feel that way. We decided that we just have to work harder and keep moving forward. And the Lord will bless us and the people we teach, sometimes we might be able to see those blessings in plain view, but they are there. 
Other than the tough times, this week was great! We met an 96 year old lady who is just hilarious, a blast to teach her haha,

I love you guys, thanks for the prayers and support, have a great week,
