We are currently teaching a 'family' of four, the moms name is Maria, the uncle (who is currently living with them) is named Hector and the two children (adopted) of Maria are named Pedro and Nancy. They might just be the most interesting family that I have ever taught in my entire life. First off, Maria is a less active member. She still fondly remembers her baptism and is in contact with the sister missionary who taught her. Maria has a little bit of a temper when things don't go her way (for example when her children didn't study the book of Mormon for two hours on Sunday after church she YELLED at them, I know because I was there), but she loves the church and is excited to come back after so many years. Hector is hyped to get baptized and loves the church as well. The kids love the church probably for two reasons, 1. It brings peace to their home, and 2. It allows them to get out of the house without getting in trouble. As of now they have plans (Hector, Pedro, and Nancy) to get baptized this Saturday.
On Tuesday we visited a less active family and when we got there the Mom was dead, all of her energy had been spent and as we walked through the kitchen all of the dishes still had to be washed and the kitchen cleaned. Honestly she reminded me of mom a bit, and she just had 'one of those days' so we decided to help her out a little bit and before we taught what we came to teach we did a little service activity cleaning up the entire kitchen. The smile she had by the time we left was sufficient.
Also today in the morning we went up into the mountains to a big river, it was beautiful and just reminded me of the greatness of the creations of God. (don't worry ill be sending pictures the next week). We went up there with the whole zone and the father of a family that i home teach. It was good.
I love being a missionary and I know that this is the most important work in the entire world. I love and care for each of you so much.
