11/7/16 letter

Hola,
This week was good. I worked harder than I ever have and talked with literally everyone, but there weren't a whole lot of fruits that came from it. A lot of rejections and no one came to church or is progressing very much, but oh well. I promised God on Wednesday that I would get rid of all minor disobedience i.e. starting studies at 8:01, lack of journal writing, etc. and asked him to make miracles happen. And on Thursday, we found a cool new guy named Jose! He has had a rough life and is desperate need of the gospel. He has a lot of interest in learning more so I was pretty excited about that. 

The weather is finally starting to cool down now that it's November. It's been in the 80's all week and should stay that way for a couple more weeks. So that's been really nice. 

This week had día de los muertos, a Mexican holiday where they remember their dead family members and build altar for them. We saw one that said "familia hasta la muerte" which means family until death. The family wasn't interested, so we weren't even able to share with them that families are eternal. 

On Friday, we went to the Mesa temple visitors center with our investigators Eladio and Joel and that was fun. 
Not really a whole lot of news this week, sorry. This is kinda a tough area. People aren't super open. But I'll keep working hard. 
Have a good rest of your time in Japan.
Love,
Hermana Gubler
