We had a TON of rain this week!! Remember how I said that Ibarreta never rains? For years. It`s rained a TOn in the last few weeks and we`ve walked in water to our shins to get to where we need to be. It´s a blessing to have water but a pain to have to walk the mudy streets. Wow, what a blessing to be a missionary. I have grown so much here in the mission. I know i+`ve said it a million times but I LOVE THE MISSION! This is the restored church of our Savior Jesus Christ. I know it is. I know that Jesus Atoned for me. I`ve been able to feel the power of the Atonement in my life every single day as I learn to repent and be perfected in Christ. What a challenge. Be Perfect! AH! Jill Connelly one day helped me understand how we can take on this challenging invitation. Maybe we can`t be perfect ALL the time but we can be perfect in many smaller things. I`ve had some pretty perfect minutes of my life. And every day i Strive to make it a little bit longer being perfect. Step by Step we improve towards perfection. BUt hey, for real, We have to learn to repent everyday! IT`s been such a blessing in my life to apply the Atonement in my daily life. You should do it too! So i`m printing off the leters this week to give me some more time to write the family and stuff. Sorry about last week.. This week was good. We had three baptisms yesterday wo hooo!! Lucia, Mafalda and Ariela. And get this! On Friday we have 8 baptisms scheduled!! Remember the Colony and how I said it was flourishing like crazy. Yeah we have a like an average of 20 investigators in church every week!!!! WOOOOOAAA Crazy huh?! When I got here the Colony had an assistance of about 15 people total every week and we`ve reached more than 60 (members and investigators) in the last two weeks!! One week we had 31 investigators in church :P Pray that the Colony keeps doing well! They are a chosen people and so excited to accept the gospel! There`s always obstaculos (Word of Wisdom a lot) but at least they WANT to change and are willing to work hard to do it! Sorry I still can`t send pictures! I bought a new sd card for my camera but i`m not gonna start using it quite yet. But soon i`ll get some pictures off to you!! I lvoe my Family!! I love my friends! Families are forever! The Church is true! Elder Taylor
