So this week was pretty tough in the fact that we were working hard all day long every day but had little to show for it at the end of the day. We were starting to get discouraged and by the time Sunday came around we were ready to call it a week and head home. Personally, I was feeling kind of ripped off, we were working hard and it seemed like we couldnt get a break, the blessings just werent coming. But the Lord always pulls through in the end, especially after trials of our faith. On Sunday night we saw miracles, helped people that were in seroius need of help and found 6 new investigators, all within the last hour of the day. The temptation to go home and just collapse in bed was enormous, but I'm extremely grateful that we kept working.
To answer some of your questions mom, Elder Baldera was baptized when he was 13. We dont really have anything in common but we teach well together and he's a fast learner so training hasnt been too hard.
We've been having a drought here too and there are several neighborhoods that dont have water. The missionaries in Itu, a nearby city, have been taking showers with water bottles. We've been praying for rain and yesterday we received it! The heavens are open above Julio de Mesquita, literally and figuratively!
Love, Elder Carr
