Also, this week was the Primary Program and I played the keyboard for all of them and it was the cutest thing ever and I just cried through the whole thing because the attendance rate here is 17%, but it´s amazing to see all the members here who come faithfully every week. And it always means we are constantly teaching less active families and it´s great because we are constantly finding new ones. It´s amazing to see the power of the Book of Mormon when they start reading it. That book has power. My suggestion for any area that is not having success in the missionary work is for the members to read the Book of Mormon together in families. It´s powerful. I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO
So being the enthusiastic missionaries that we are, my district has started an activity every Saturday called Puertas Abiertas, where we all go to the churchhouse in the more commercial center of La Union to give tours of the church house. The church is right on the same street where they have the ferria, which is basically an awesome farmer´s market. There are lots of people walking along the street, so we decided this would be a great way to help me know more about the church, see the salon sacramental, la pila bautismal y estaciones de las organizaciones in the church. Lo siento that that´s in spanish but I truly cannot remember the words in English and I have very limited time. ANYWAY, this program has been very successful in other countries with the members and missionaries, and it was written in the Liahona, so we were all very gungho. Bueno, we´ve actually had some people enter!!!! Although it´s difficult to get members to come help Saturday morning, pero bueno. The most difficult part is to get the people to enter, this last time we were all outside with a table full of pamphlets, pass along cards and pictures of Jesus. In the ferria, the people always call out what they´re selling, like LECHUGA or LECHE, so we started calling out EL EVANGELIO DE JESUCRISTO, GRATIS!!!! Which means, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Free!!! And apparently people anywhere in the world are all about free stuff, and we had a lot of people who came and chose a few things, and even a few who entered the church and got the full tour, YAY!!! Anyway, halfway through, it started to rain a bit and it was quite windy, but we stuck it out like the Spartans we are, and we were all holding down all the pamphlets on the table so they wouldn´t blow away and it was so awesome and fun and freezing and I´m sure the people here think we´re crazy, which we are, YAAAY!!!
