Well first of to tell you a little bit more about my companion, he is from Honduras. Just below Mexico. He has only 3 months in the mission this is his first transfer, The first companion is the Father and the following is the stepfather. so i am his step father. I am in the ward called the Garanja it is about 15 min from the Temple. We work pretty well together.
Guadalajara is a lot different place to work in the mission. The people here are a lot harder of heart. So Contacting and knocking doors doesn´t work at all. We have to look for ways to work with the members and gain there confidence. It is a ward here so that is cool. All my passed areas have been branches and the people there were a little bit more open to the gospel but the work can still be done. just got to work with the members a lot, lots of training, asking for references, less actives, exc. but i think it will be really good do do all these things in other areas. I have a package on the way i hope it gets home before Sadie's birthday. Take care got to go love you.

p.s. watch the movie Joseph Smith- The Prophet of the restoration it is really good.

Coapinole
Alright so this week has been kinda ruff. this week the family that we were planing on baptizing they fell through because the dad has a problem with drinking. his family is all prepared for baptizm but they all want to get it done together so. we are going to try one more week with them but it is looking a little ruff with that situation. Being a district leader is kinda hitting me a little harder being that i got to take care of 3 other areas and also have to report every night to the zone liders. the last change i had 1 other area and i lived with the zone liders. but i think it is all part of the refiners fire. its bending me to be a better sirvent of the lord.
we did find someone that will get bauptized the 21 of this month. her name is marta, not long ago she had surgury and she was actually dead for about six minutes and then she came out of it but she cant walk. but she is so prepared of god. she basically said she wanted bauptizm without us even mentioning so when she said that we just put the date.
I Know this church and the message that i am sharing is true. Have a great day. LOVE ELDER LONG
