Letter #36 No Title this Week

¡Hola Familia!
Well this week has been another good week. Like Dad said, it just seemed to fly by. I can`t believe that I am already in the third week of this change. It is crazy how fast time can fly. I am sure that everyone is feeling the same way since Cory turned the big ol 16 today. ¡FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS! I can`t believe that you are already 16 bud. That is crazy. Mom, thanks for the package with everything. It was great!! And thanks for the iPod and speaker. The apartment is so much better with music. And thanks for this other package too. I am excited to get it. Hey, I need to get some stuff for my feet because all of this walking is talking a tole on them. COuld you guys put some money on my card so that I can get some powder and athletes foot cream for my feet asnd to get AAA batteries for my speaker? Let me know if you can. Thanks.
So this week was a good week. Elder Rodriguez had to go to Mexico this week and so on Wednesday I was with a guy, Gonsalo, that is leaving on his mission for Medidad in two week. It was really good to work with Gonsalo and to see his excitement. He is going to be such a great missionary. It was fun to take over an area that I don`t know very well and learn a lot as a ``senior companion``. It was a good experience and I really enjoyed this one day.
But as the week went on, it just got harder. We had 3 people fall off of their baptism dates this week. Francisco was a reference from a member that Elder Rodriguez and I have been teaching, but this past week we had to pass him over to some other Elder`s because he doesn`t live in our area. In fact, he lives in the other stake. It was such a bummer to have to pass him off. And then we are teaching another Francisco and he is awesome too. His girlfriend is a member and they were living together but when we taught the laaw of chastity, they decided to seperate until they get married. It was awesome. And then we taught the WoW and we thought that everything was going to be ok because we had already asked him about it in our first visit. But come to find out, he smokes like 10 cigaretts a day. So we set up a plan with him and he is working on that addiciton. And then Laura. Laura has a lot of troubles with her family and they don`t want her te oget baptized, except her sister who is a member. She had a huge arguement with them and fell off date. Then on Wednesday, she told us that she was going to get baptized on Sunday. Then on friday, she had another huge arguement with her family and fell off date again.
I really saw the presence of Satan this week. He has so much power and really does everything to destroy this wor. We are in a constant battle with him and we need to do everything to fight back. Reading and praying are our sources of strength. So could you guys please pray for my investigators, especially Laura, Francisco, Alejandra and Eleazar that they can feel the importance of baptism and make the decision to be baptized.
Well I got to go. Thanks for all you guys do for me. I love yall and hope that you have a great week. Happy Birthday COry. Enjoy your 16th birthday.
Con Amor
Elder Glover
