August 20, 2012 - Searching for Light & Families


Dear Familia,

That's pretty cool about what's been going on at home!* Hope you guys have enjoyed your summer and that you're all ready to get back into the "do work" zone! Ha ha--anyway, this week was a little bit tougher. We couldn't find all the people that we needed, and the family of Jesus didn't come to church, but he had the opportunity to go and work in Tumbes, and he got back Saturday in the early morning. But everything seems like its going good. We didn't have light for the church this Sunday because no one paid the bill, and I'm thinking that this is going to affect the activity that we have planned this Thursday.....we'll see what happens. It's getting a little bit tougher to find new people to teach, and we were pretty dependent on the activity to pass out invitations, that way the people actually will want to talk to us haha.

 That's cool that there are so many familiar faces returning home**....but I still got a year to go haha We're getting along good here and hoping for more success this week. We're gonna think of some new ideas here to find new people. What we really would like is another family. not to mention that we are still working with the family of Jesus. The kids actually want us to come over and teach ahah....what can i say right?! At least the few people that want us here love us!!! 

Anyways, love you guys tons!! I forgot to bring my cord this week so no pics....sorry. Oh, and we cleaned the house chapel this week, it was really dirty, so don't worry, we did our act of service!!  Love you guys tons, and I'm glad to hear that everything went well with the deal and what not, and for the shower***.....that's a bummer, but that's life haha! 

Your son,
Alex, peace!!
