Week 16- Hermano Omar y Hermano Bordon

This week has been noticeably less stressful as we were finally done with the apartment and could relax (which is just a joke because relaxing on the mission just means you change what you are working your hardest on). So we are now relaxing in missionary work! 
We were able to visit a few of our investigators but it kinda feels like we are starting over again with some of them because of the time that has passed. We got assigned to be home teachers with a priest and we visited one of our families. Kinda a coincidence after Elder Holland's talk haha. But everything is going well here. It's been great to dive back into serving others and sharing the gospel. 
To answer some questions about the branch: The branch is pretty small as far as people who actually come, there are actually about 200 members but only 30ish come on a regular basis. It seems like there are a bunch of members and then there are the few who just are pillars that anchor the branch. 
These are our pillars of our branch:
The first pillar is Jose Omar: Hermano Omar is such an amazing member and member missionary. He has given us a ton of references and even invited the mayor of mercedes to church! He just got called as our Elder's quorum president and is doing an amazing job!
The second pillar is Javier Bordon: Hermano Bordon was baptized a few months ago and I'm pretty sure he knows more about the gospel and early church history than I do! We are trying super hard to get his wife to be baptized. 

Thanks for all of your support, letters, and prayers!
