Hey everyone, this week has been a pretty good one!  Despite my companion getting sick and me having to sit in the room for a couple days with him.  But at least I was able to read a ton!

So everytime we teach the Law of Chastity to someone, we slip up somewhere or something happens.. We were teaching the Law of Chastity to Gloria and we asked her if she has ever seen the word or if she was familiar with the word.  She was hesitent but she said that she thought she knew it.  She got out a dictionary to make sure, and when she found it she looked relieved.  She told us that she thought it had to do with castration...  It was pretty funny, but we cleared it up.  She actually really liked to hear about the Law of Chastity and agrees 100% with it.  Also with the Word of Wisdom.  Everytime we teach her, she gets closer and closer to baptism.

This morning we didn`t have water so after I was done working out, I went to a sink downstairs and washed myself there.  Enjoy your showers with warm water!

We also talked with one of our less actives this week and she is having a hard time.  Her husband (who she isn`t married to) is starting to drink again.  They had this problem before and that`s why they got seperated but now they are living with each other again.  The problem is that she can`t go to her family because they invite her husband to drink.  It`s a hard situation and we plan on talking to the husband about it.  It`s just hard to find him because he is always working.

My companion got a little sick so we were in our room for a couple days.  I read a lot of books that were laying around the room and there is a lot of cool stuff in them that I`ve learned.  I`m also learning better ways to answer questions and dealing with different situations.  There are some cool books.

This past Sunday was Fast Sunday.  I didn`t want to sit in the room all day so when I started my fast, I prayed that my companion would feel better enough to work.  A couple of hours later, he said he felt better enough to work!  I don`t think it`s a coincedence or just happened.  Fasting really does have a lot of power.

That`s about it for this week.  Nothing too special other than our zone now has more latinos than gringos.  Hope you all have a good week!  Love you all!
