This week was pretty close to a disaster in regards to our success this week. My companion got sick again and so we coundln't work for a day because no one could help us go on splits because as I've said many times, we have very few preisthood holders here. Also, on sunday not a single investigator came to church. We called the ones that have phones and passed by the houses of the ones that don't and not a single one was able to go. Church assistence this week was 13 (including Elder Vasquez and I). We both gave talks because a few of the assigned members didn't show. I gave my talk on obedience and keeping the commandments and shared a bunch of scriptures from 1Nefi.

Earlier this week I went to chulucanas again to go on splits with my district leader Elder Chen and we had a blast as always.  The next morning we gave service at 6:30 in the morning until 8:30, shoveling and removing earth from his ´backyard.´ I was the one who carried almost all the earth in buckets and they were pretty heavy. I was sore for the next few days, and I formed a blister from using the pick a little bit and then it ended up ripping open and that made it a lot easier....haha. I got super dirty from all the work as you can see in the picture on the blog in my track shirt and yellow shorts.

That's all I have this week, have a great week everyone!

Love,

Elder Evans

This week in church the branch President shared some scriptures that I really liiked so I thought I would share them here, I hope you enjoy them(1Peter5:6-11):

 6 ^aHumble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

 8 Be ^asober, be ^bvigilant; because your adversary the ^cdevil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

 9 Whom resist ^asteadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are ^baccomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

 10 But the God of all ^agrace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you ^bperfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
