The weeks are just flying by these days, I feel like I was just writing home yesterday. We had a pretty productive week and we are being blessed right now in our area. My companion and I learned on Saturday that we will be staying another 6 weeks in our area and there were only 3 changes in the whole zone. So we are excited to work with almost the same group of elders and sisters this change. They are great missionaries and we are learning so much together about working with the members to have real growth in the church in Chilpancingo. Elder Quinnelly and I were able to give service to some members this past week and visit quite a few less actives. We are trying to help the ward activate those who have been lost and we have faith that we will find baptisms along the way. Our elders quorum president, who is a recent convert from Feburary, gave us a reference of his best friend. He is his neighbor and he has 7 kids!!! So its a huge family! I got to teach them when we did divisions with the brothers in the ward and I felt such a sweet spirit in their humble little home as I taught them of Joseph Smith, prophets and baptism. They accepted baptismal date and are excited to prepare to be baptized. I fasted for them this weekend and was disappointed when they didn't come to church on Sunday. The elders quorum pres didn't come either so something must have happened but we were blessed in a different way at church. None of our investigators showed up but a couple of the less actives that we visited did and also two friends of members showed up for the first time. They seem interested and we are going to start to teach them this week. Roberto, the taxi driver that we helped get active again, told us this week that he wants to go out preaching with us two times a week and he is preparing to receive the Melchizedek priesthood! He wants to find an eternal companion at church to marry in the temple!!!! He also bore his testimony on Sunday about tithing. He said that when he started going to church 2 months ago he decided to give tithing a try because he was super poor. He told us that the day he gave his first tithing, a person told him to take him all the way to Mexico City in his taxi! He made bank and knew it was a blessing from the Lord. I lvoe that guy and know he will be successful in his righteous goals and desires. We are excited to continue to work here and we are going to baptize a family this change!!! Lvoe you all and I know this work is true. Thank you for all the constant thoughts and prayers.
Elder Stutz
