pues......... this week has been great!!!!! really cool etc... anyway. the church is true!!! lots of adventure this week! riding on top of the bus to go to conferencia de distrito because it was already full to the brim with people trying not to get wacked in the face by power lines and palm fronds and mango tree branches... but it was a good problem, the bus too full of people to go to conference! we have gotten to know lots of new amazing people this week and a member hno frichel has been helping us as much as he can go to lessons and stuff and visit anybody! he contacts in the street with us inviting people to go to church and baptized ana y samuel and their daughter because he came to almost every lesson to help translate and is amazing! he was baptized a month ago by other missionaries and he is super cool!!! the church is true!!!!!! have a great week!

But on the bright side we can teach them about repentance! but well we have been working hard and have been teaching several new families in paticular ana y samuel and johny y juana they are all really cool and went to church with us so that was pretty cool!!! Me and elder Kasper well more elder Kasper continue in our adventures in teaching sunday school to members in their second language. and the church is true! prayer changes things! and Faith works miracles! have a good day and share the gospel with everybody!

placentero nos es trabajar

September 9

well this week has been a little difficult along with trying to find a new house, some difficulties in the work and a little bit of how we say it in spanish, disanimo. however, the lord is moving forth! we found a cool creole man this week so we have fun teaching in a fun mix of english and spanish! we would teach him in all english but it is hard for us to do.... yeah his dad is from jamaica and stuff creole or people of african descent are like the second largest cultural group here in puerto behind the miskitus  and they are always fun and usually speak spanish english and miskitu. they speak creole english in their families though.. but yeah the work goes on and it will all turn out good one way or another!
