Querido mundo,

This week was difficult, yet had results. We knocked a handful of houses. (Handful= 30-40 based on the contemporary standard for measuring edifices). That was the less than pleasing part of our week, due in large part to our denial of admittance by each one of those abodes.
The good part of the week was that we have marked 2 baptisms for the next Saturday. We marked with Igor (age 15) and his younger brother Pedro (age 10). This last week Igor recounted how his life has improved dramatically as he has started to fulfill the comittments we have given him, an he knows

it is because he is on the right path. He has incredibly strong faith and, without our asking, has decided that he wants to stop smoking so that he can be baptized. He has been smoking for quite a while notwithstanding his young age, but he has already exponentially decreased his usage and is well on track to fulfill the covenant of Baptism. Im stoked. Hope you are all doing well!
