The work of the Lord shall not be frustrated

 Late night blessing run w/ Hno. Sanchez. #hospitalalldayeveryday

     Wow! What a trying/wonderful week. We didn't have contact with La Familia Calderón the whole week which was rough, really rough, especially because they have their baptism coming up on the 8th. We met with them last night and they are still doing well but have been super busy with work and getting ready for school. A couple of our investigators are doing well, we find out this week if they can be baptized on the 1st! That's really exciting! And another one is doing well but had some weird drama between her and her brother, so she is slowly working through that. I named this email the way I did because it's a fact that I've come to realize even more clearly this week after struggling to find a single new person to teach and going through a LOT of rejection. Even though everyone seems to tell us to "get lost" it is comforting to know that the battle is already won and that all I have to do is continually put my faith in the Lord and keep working. The work of the Lord shall not be frustrated by those that refuse, hate, conspire, and attempt to destroy. This is His work and we are His servants to do it. Boy is that cool! Elder Stites is improving greatly on his Spanish skills so I'm pretty confident in him taking over this area in a couple weeks. A big change that has come this week is that Russel M. Nelson, the prophet of God, has asked all to stop using the term "Mormon" when referring to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. That's a big change! The District is doing well, unfortunately we will be losing another sister due to medical reasons so that will be rough until another one is sent in. Elder Standing goes home this week, on the 25th! That's so crazy! Well anyway, that's about it.
