Week 46 & 47

Week 46
             This week On Elder Silva's mission it was Halloween!!!!!! But over here they don't really celebrate Halloween because they say its bad :(    But I say that they are just a little scared lol. Anyways we did find some people dressed up in costumes and we took a picture with them. Ohhh and the kids that were dressed up were sad because no one gave them candy they only gave them money lol. So I told them that where I'm from you get so much candy that it lasts for months and they said they wanted to go to the US to get candy lol. This week is also Day of the Dead and that's when everyone goes to the cemeteries and clean the tombs. So today we went and helped people clean the tombs and we also sang church hymns. We also talked a little about the plan of salvation to them so they can know that one day we will be with our loved ones again :) It was very nice to do that and we got a lot of contacts of people wanting us to pass by their houses :D

Week 47

           This week on Elder Silva's mission it was great. We had a zone conference and our mission president came and chewed us out lol. But it was very spiritual and he taught us many things and made everyone realize how important the mission is. The whole zone felt like we needed to work even harder so our mission president asked us to baptize every week! Everyone was in shock, it might seem like a lot but I know with the Lords help and through obedience the Lord will bless us and make it possible to for us to baptize every week :D So far we are teaching a member that has a son and cousins that aren't members and she is helping us a lot with her family members. Actually this Saturday one of her cousins is planning to get baptize, her name is Paola she is very happy for it. :)
