Not much extraordinary happened this week, but we are starting to see the fruits of our labors here. We've been doing a lot of visiting inactive members with the elders quorum because we didn't really have any investigators when I arrived and the Elders quorom didn't have any sort of home teaching plan or other plans to visit members. It turns out it was a combined lack of work on the members part as well as the missionaries that was the cause of the ward being in a big hole when I arrived. This sunday however we saw huge improvements because many of the inactives we had been visiting arrived at church and even bore testimonies of how the visits helped them come back. The attendance is rising steadily and the members have started to spark up and set up home teaching and visiting teaching assignments. We are also working on a plan to have noche de hermanamientos in the houses of members by sector throughout the week to invite members, less actives and investigators for a short lesson and an activity. Elder Cordova and I have been working well together and we are stoked to be seeing results.
As far as other news goes it has rained almost everyday, but the rain here has been rather strange because it only lasts for about 30min but it is a torrential downpour that turns the roads into rivers in a matter of minutes. I haven't had my camera with me during the week, but i'll be sure to send a picture at some point. In some places they are quite deep and we have to go way around until we can find dry land to cross.

Only one picture this week that a member took with their phone: me with their pet toucan.
