Oh Gosh!

...One week left. AHHH how weird.  Im just gonna briefly go over what happened last week, seeing as how i dont have a lot of time to write. So like i said on last monday we went over and taught Laura in the morning, and everything was good. So that same day we decided to pay a surprise visit to her in the nighttime, just to try to talk to her mom. So we did, and Laura about died when she saw us come by at that time, but the mom didnt wanna share, but didnt get mad either. So then i got the idea to go back the next day and have once (like dinner) with Laura and the mom. The mom said shed try to be there. So we went back the next day and had the once. The mom did join us. So for the 45 minutes we ate all we did was talk about our normal lives and whatnot, not really the gospel. Then right as we were finishing the mom told us that after the once she realized that we're good people, and so she apologized for not letting Laura get baptized. So then we basically talked about that for like an hour and a half. At the end the mom made some significant progress.  She said she still wasnt gonna let Laura get baptized yet, but that she said she probably would in the future. Im hopeing that that future is within this upcoming week, haha.

 

Today we had a special zone leader meeting. We all went to Presidents house and he took us to a really nice indoor soccer facility and we played for 2 hours, then we went back to his house and had enchiladas for lunch. Then we had our meeting. It was a really fun last Pday.  A cool little logro (acheivement), the mission baptized 106 this month! Thats the most ive seen here in my mission, so that was cool to see my last month.

 

That was basically all the important that happened.  Well, the last week of the mission. Gonna work hard. Ill be writing next monday too, so dont worry. When people are like Wow, how do you feel ending the missio, i tell them, I dont feel it, cuz thats the truth. SOmething ive been doing for the past 2 years is gonna come to a sreeching halt, i know it will but it still feels like its gona keep going on forever. So thats weird.  Well, hope all is well back home. Man, i feel weird. I love the work! Talk to you next week (in email and in a very literal sense :)
