In a pretty peachy place :)

Durazno means peach in Spanish;D

Kind of a sad way to start a letter, but I just want to ask you guys to keep Elder Salas's family in your prayers. For those of you who remember he was my comp over a year ago in El Pinar. Well he finished the mission 3 months back, and this past week passed away from a sickness that has long followed him. Thanks.

This has been kind of a crazy week. Well, Loura got very sick last sunday, and had to go to the hospital instead of church. This will keep her from getting baptised this week. On top of that, this past saturday she moved to the sister missionary's area. (we helped carry a bed all the way there. The walk was a bit over an hour... Our arms were pretty well worked). Well, now we hope the sisters will visit her and help her make that step soon towards baptism. The best part about it is she with her three kids and husband will all be able to follow in her footsteps. That will be the first full family I've helped bring to the gospel. :D Pray for her.

On top of that we saw a pretty cool miracle this week. We were walking down this street towards lunch and I was looking for the house. The thing is, It was nearly impossible to miss the house given that there was a huge construction site right next to it. On top of that, I knew the streets where it lay. well, even with all this, we walked right passed it... like right past a huge construction site.... literally 3 meters from it... in plain sight ..... and didn't see it. Looking back all I remember was seeing normal houses. In a nutshell our eyes were covered and we kept walking. This led us to walking 4 extra blocks, and meeting a new 17 year old investigator named Alfonsina (say that ten times fast). Can I just say that she's amazing and we're hoping to help her progress soon:D

We've continued to find a lot of new people to teach this week (for example, the super quiet girlfriend of a member that's about to go on a mission), and we pray that things will work out with them too. 

Esteban is...... just as amazing as ever. He's kind of upset that he's still not baptised. He's gotten pretty far in his geneology, but is a bit upset that he cant access the rest of the programs open only to members (reserving temple ordinances). On top of that, this next week is a ward temple trip. He wants to go really badly, but wont be able to enter yet. I was talking to Elder McMillan today about the city where he lived (Las Vegas). Apparently there are marriage drive throughs. Like you can get married without even getting out of the car. Kind of weird, but I would love anything like that right now for Esteban and his wife. Thinking about it, that would be nice for Beatriz and Jorge too. They're all in the same boat of not being able to get married untill November due to the courts waiting list....... where they only marry on Thursdays...... 3 or 4 Couples. yah.

Well I love the mission and hope yall have pretty sweet week 

Love,

Elder Eliason
