Last week went pretty quick.
We found various new families, very positive some of them. Pres. Vásquez in a Zone Conference taught a new first lesson method and has established that we should always sing in all the lessons (since Pres. Nelson said that we should bring music into the homes of our investigators). It's really cool reading the Himnal Prologue where it talks about singing to invite the Spirit and inspire repentance with investigators. It's fuerte. It's a lesson bien focused on obedience and baptism. We even leave them all 6 pamphlets from the 1st lesson with the Book of Mormon so that they have everything in their hands necessary to be baptized and understand that theirs is the burden of sacrifice unto redemption.
Our Ward might be changed to another Stake (due to transportation difficulties). The big question for me is based on the fact that the other Stake belongs to the San Salvador Oeste Mission. We'll see what it means for Elder Newman!
There's now a Papa John's in Apopa. We're moving up in the world.
Our plumbing got fixed.
Tomorrow is Central America's Independence Day (even though they're different countries, they have the same Independence Day).
I drew the Plan of Salvation on some posters and put it in the windows of our house. Maybe someone'll read it and get interested :>
Hno. Ascencio is the best- he's a convert of 14 months, who is over 70 years old and is with us sometimes from 12.30 to 9 at night almost every day. He's a powerhouse. He never complains about walking and we always tell him to drink more water.
And a bat woke us up last night since it was banging into the walls repeatedly until we opened a door to let it out. Stupid. This month, I've found 2 dead bats. FACT: Dogs and bats are the 2 species that carry rabies in El Salvador. Stupid bats. But I guess I still like them.

The Plan of Salvation, the house, my Haz lo Justo ring has gone from silver and green to gold and silver.
