Well this week was not too eventful. We did a lot of contacting on the street. We usually have a really good day planned but then this past week every one of our plans fell through and we are left to find more on the street. It is some pretty tiring stuff. 
Every once in a while we find a couple of people that will listen to what we have to say.  Unfortunately, we have not found any new investigators this week. From my point of view I don´t think a lot of people actually take time to ponder and figure out what they believe. A lot of people have very passive beliefs and don´t really have a curiosity to find out if there really is a God or if there is more after this life. And a lot of people don´t believe that the answer is found in a church or a book. Even being in Santiago, a very religious city, the Catholics don´t even know what they believe in. 

The past 2 weeks we have been trying to pin point one of our investigators, who is from Brasil. She has not answered our phone calls or we can't catch her at home. But, thankfully we ran into her brother and he invited us over whenever we wanted. We knew exactly who he was and they all thought it was a pretty big coincidence that we met her brother.   So we went over to her brother's house which is where she lives too.  He said that since we found her first we had to talk to her first, ahah.  It was pretty awkward at first because it wasn´t a very pleasent surprise for her to see us sitting on her couch. We actually ended up having a really good lesson with her. She has been having problems with depression. It makes me really sad and I really just want to help her and that is such a hard thing to overcome. But we had a good lesson on how the Gospel really does bring happiness into our lives. We shared Mosiah 2:41 and watched "Thanks to Him".  We got back on track with her which was awesome!

Today we went to A Coruña for Pday and met up with the district and went bowling. We ate at an all you can eat Italian food place which was super good. Pizza and Pasta, it was delicious. 

It has been fun being able to pick up on some Portuguese and Gallego, which is similar. Our Brasilian investigator, speaks a lot of brasilian. It is cool to be able to tell her that I have an aunt that is from brasil. 

Moito grazas por tudo.

I hope that you all have a great week. We will see if my knees will take another week of all this walking, haha. I get back to the piso absolutely destruido but I always am pushed by all of your prayers. Graciños.

Love you all,
