Well this week was AMAZING, we started off by teaching Jose (who is a borracho (drunker) and he really wants to change his life but needs a lot of help. So we visit him every day and talk and teach him a little something. And I think I have found my 3rd set of grandparents! haha They are the nicest little 85 year olds I've ever seen, they are investigators but they don't progress because they don't come to church, because they have their kids over.. so its hard to try to have them progress. But they are so nice every time we visit they give us fruit, water, hot chocolate! They're awesome! but we found so many people that need help, with trying to quit drinking, haha IT'S CRAZY!!! They just pop out of no where haha but its cool, we have 3 or 4 investigators because of it.
On Sunday I had my first investigator come to church!!!! We invited 6 and had 6 say yes we are coming, but only one did!! but man it was so powerful! Even tho I was sitting watching this one kid distract the whole congregation, with his brother running after him over and over and over again! I'll be honest I didn't feel the spirit..because I was concentrating on this kid. I was kinda getting mad at the parents, just wanted to tell them, "take him out!!" but when I looked over at Lourdes (the investigator) and she had tears running down her face and all, it hit me... the spirit was testifying to her that this church is true, and she can feel the spirit! That is all that really matters.. but still that kid needs to be controlled! ( I need dad, and his calling "Brother Discipline" haha ;) but she stayed for all the meetings, then I asked her if she would come the next week and she said yes! haha man i am so happy to see an investigator progress!! And to make it better she came to the Christmas devotional that same night!! She's such a great person!
But this week was awesome, we taught a lot of lessons, contacted a lot of people, we have a lot of new investigators!! This work is tiring but is truly amazing, this is true happiness! Eternal happiness! I am grateful for all my examples in my life from my home ward, to my best friends, to my friends in school, to my family and cousins, to pretty much everyone I know!! I love you so much! Thanks for helping me, GET to go on a mission! I truly am grateful for all of you!
I love you,
Elder Horlacher

I see Trevor's bed now, I didn't understand when he said that they took this picture
in their room, because the bedding didn't look like Trevor's or suitcases.
