Ciao Ciao!

Thank you guys so much for all of the wonderful letters and pictures! Thank you very much granna and bompa as well i love getting mail :) Im so glad that you guys have seen so many blessings and can have the missionaries over often! im positive that those missionaries are absolutely loving being able to be around my amazing family all the time. 

Well this past week we have really been trying new ways to find new investigators but not much has been working the way we had hoped. right now we really only have one investigator and he hasnt been answering our calls. it is really insane how you can have a bunch of investigators and then the next thing you know they are all gone. We havent let it get to us though, every night we take advantage of the 2 hour "red zone" time between 6 and 8 to go building to building "knocking" on doors and trying to get into a house of prepared people ready to hear the wonderful message that we have to bring. 

Unfortunately, satan works in very mysterious ways to turn the hearts of people away from the light and last week we only ended up getting one lesson... my first time in the mission field. i was pretty dang sad to see that 1 at the end of the week, mostly because i knew that we had worked so very hard. my companion and i talked about what we can try different to improve our numbers this week since not much was working last week and what we came up with was to work more with the less active in the branch. We have already passed by all the less actives in our area, but the other anziani in our apartment have about 70 in their area that need passing by. so we might pass by them and see what we can do :) Keepin our heads up of course :)

Love you guys so much and cant wait to hear from you all next week! Ciao!

Sinceremente, 

Anziano Delgado

PS- Oh almost forgot to tell you! on the brightside i got to go teach a blind member named Antonio when i went on the exchange yesterday. He is an AMAZING piano player and plays for our branch every sunday. He is so talented, he can literally hear a song and then play it! he asked us if we played and i said yes so he wanted to hear me play a few songs. i played my favorite ones and he really like them. Then i showed him how to play the left hand part of heart and soul while i played the right side part. he made his own little rendition of the left hand part which sounded 10 times better than the original haha it was so much fun. i had a great time and im sure he did as well. it was a great day
