Another Good Week!

Hey Mom and Dad,
Wow sounds like a crazy week with all the elections and everything. Is it in just two more years and we´ll have elections for the presidency, right? It´s nice to be a missionary and be called to leave behind all personal or political affairs and just concentrate on the work. Though funny thing I think I´ve still gained a greater appreciation and understanding of the importance of national leadership for the progress of a nation.
This has been an awesome week here. Well the first half of the week was kind of down because from Monday until Wednesday was national holidays. It was kind of fun because a bunch of people came here to Salinas but kind of a bummer because no one was home for our appointments because all were out to the beach. But it was sweet because on Wednesday we had another leadership conference but this time all the district leaders and trainers were invited so it was a bigger group. We had it with several zones from Guayaquil, Duran and us. It was more focused on teaching skills and basically the entire conference was made up of practices. It was neat though I´m not gonna lie it takes a lot of courage to go in front of everyone to practice teaching. But it was good nonetheless. It was fun because I saw Elder Cruz who was my companion in Duran. Now he´s district leader and training a north american from Oregon. So yeah it was sweet.
Other than that we´ve been working hard. We have several investigators who are progressing slowly but surely. One young couple that we have we are way excited about.
As for those two young men that we found, it´s kind of sad to say that we haven´t been able to find them to teach them since that day they talked to us. We´ve talked to one a couple of times but each time we´ve made an appointment it´s fallen through. Yeah, sad day. That´s the sad part of missionary work. Often you meet some families in an amazing way but it doesn´t often work out. But ah well, I´m sure they won´t soon forget the lesson we had and that it may have been one step more towards opening their heart to the gospel.
Other than that everything is going great. Today we´re emailing late because for some reason the tellers weren´t working so we couldn´t pull out money and we were broke, lol. So we left and stopped by “Planet Icecream” (remember that place that is like cold stone??) and now we came back
Well thanks for everything. Hope you have another great week!
Love,
Elder David Frome
