A successful week

Hola a todos! I m glad that you all had a great week. Girls Camp sounded like a lot of fun. The pictures look great. Dad looks good in his wig, haha! I loved the pictures of Trevor and Elizabeth playing football. Its really cute. And its fun that shes taking dance classes. 

Did you get the email from the mission that the mission office address is changing?

We had a good week. Pilar and Alberto got married last week and now are getting baptized on Saturday. They both passed their interviews and are for sure. We were a little worried about Alberto passing his interview because he has two tear drop tattoos under his eyes which usually would mean that he killed someone. But he passed! It has been more than two months since he last drank too. Hermana Carmen and Pilar were telling us how he has completely changed. Even the way he dresses has changed. The gospel and atonement really change lives! They are both ready and excited for their baptism.

Saturday morning the stake held a Family History Fair in the stake center. It was really good but we were having a hard time getting a lot of people to come. Contacting and inviting in the street didnt work very well because where the stake center is is where everyone is going to work and busy, so the Hermanas had the great idea to draw the plan of salvation on the sidewalk in front of the stake center to get peoples attention and it worked!

We had a really good sunday. I dont know why but I wasnt feeling very good Sunday morning. The night before we had a confrontation with a drunk antimormon and it ruined my night and made me feel bad. Sunday was fast and testimony meeting and several people went up to bear there testimonies, but then when one strong sister was bearing her testimony like 10 members all stood up at once and went and stood on the stand to bear their testimonies. The spirit hit me really strong that the church really is true. My eyes even teared up a bit. Also, a  lot of less actives and other people and converts who usually cant stay all three hours stayed. The Principles of the Gospel class was full! Then Sunday night we had an awesome noche de Hogar with Carmen and her daughters, Coset, Cintia and the 1st counselors family. Its been fun.

Today we played soccer in the morning and then went to this huge street market called Gamarra! There was a man with a pet monkey that asked for money and a man selling these huge fist sized snails that apparently cure acne and take stains out of clothes!

Hope you all have a great week, got to go!

Love, Elder Torgersen
