Óla!
This week was a lot a lot of walking. Everyday we walked to a place 2-3 miles away and back. I think I walked around 75 miles this week. Woo!! We found a place with lots of families and people that have never seen missionaries before. Like my mission president said, "If you want to see a change happen in your area, do something that has never been done before" So that´s what we did! We had 30 people lined up to go to church this past Sunday. Sunday morning we got up early-did divisions to look for the people and bring them to church. In the end (3 hours later) not a single one was with us. The members that helped us picked up a different person that we never invited/taught. I were sad and frustrated (the rain didn´t help) but we were happy for the one person that was with us!
On Friday, we had a family home evening in the church. We popped popcorn and watched "A Restauração". Amazing movie that I watched before many times. There is power in the experiences that Joseph Smith had. I am so glad we got to watch the movie with members and investigators!!
Love you all so much! Sorry for the short email!
Scripture of the Week: 2 Nephi 2:27 Everyone has the gift of agency, they can choose to accept or reject our message and invitations.

Fun Fact: Since I am in the Southern hemisphere, the water drains counter-clockwise. Things I never thought before the mission!
