A little bit of Discouragement...but oh well.

The subject says it all! Last week was really hard. We just couldn´t get into a house! A lot of people called at the last second and cancelled the appointment we set up so we would have to go to our backup plans which eventually fell through as well. I shouldn´t complain though. I love it out here. We found two more new investigators at least! A woman from Portugal named Ana that sister Hinckley contacted (I don´t know how because she hardly speaks a word of spanish) and a man named Martín from Colombia. He actually approached me a few weeks ago while we were waiting for a member to accompany us to a different appointment. All of a sudden he walked up to me and asked where our church was because he wanted to find the right church! Talk about being in the right place at the right time haha! We´ve had one appointment with him and he wants us to come back so things are moving right along. I´ve gotten a lot of questions about Sonia in my emails so I´ll give an update about her. We haven´t met with her as often because she isn´t really progressing. The sad thing is she wants physical evidence and others people word instead of finding out for herself through prayer. Honestly I think she just needs a little bit of time. She will be baptized. I might not ever see it but that doesn´t matter. I think she will. We had a great zone conference yesterday with all of the missonaries in Barcelona. Elder Cranford and I had to give a report on how we have applied some principles of a case study that the mission has been studying. Its always a little scary to get up in front of people and speak spanish because I´m not very confident, but it went well. I love hearing president Hinckley speak. He is such a spiritual man and you can just feel his love for the gospel and the mission he presides over. I´m lucky to have him as my president. President also said that we shouldn´t be suprised if we stay in the same area for 6 to 8 months to really get working with the ward. I would love that! I love this ward. It really feels like I´m in my home ward. I´m hoping thats the case. Elder Cranford has already been here 6 months so I think he might be out of here the next transfer. We´ll see. Well, thats about it. There isnt much to report because not a whole lot happened haha. But I love it. I know with all my heart that this church is true. Testimonies are strengthened in the bearing of them and also from hearing them from others. Oh yeah! One testimony that really hit me this week was from a 10 year old girl in fast and testimony meeting. Her parents don´t come to church but she comes every week with a big smile on her face. She bore her testimony about the simple truths she knows with all her heart and it hit me so hard. I love to hear the testimonies of such strong spirits. Well I love you all and I love hearing from you. Until next week. Love Elder Langston
