Pray for success and patience

Hahaha well this week was another toughie, we had such a good week last week that I guess the Lord wanted to test our patience. We contacted a lot this week and literally almost nobody wanted to hear it, nobody. It also rained crazy hard every day, there was one day when it started out as little drips and I kid you not within thirty seconds it was a hurricane. The sky was almost black, the wind was crazy strong, and it was like buckets of water were being poured down on us. In the middle of Mexico, nowhere near an ocean and like 1200 miles from the equator, so who knows, all I know is we are lucky that there are tons of abandoned buildings here to hide in when it gets a little crazy.
We have three investigators right now that we are focusing on. One is named J, he's a super laid back guy that was born catholic but doesn't really believe it nor go to church (90% of the population here) and has read parts in the Book of Mormon and understands it all really well, the drawback is he works Sundays and he's uncomfortable with praying, but he likes to learn what were teaching and accepts it all pretty easily. 
A second one is Hmo A, he loves to hear us teach and told us he knows that ours is the true church, the thing that is stopping him (and killing us) is that he wont stop smoking and he won't commit to getting married to the woman that he has had 4 kids with. Every time we go over he'll listen, and comment, and drink it all in but when we ask how its going with his goals for baptism he tells us nothings changed. We might have to drop him for a bit. 
The last one is Hma M R and her family. She is a little tough, she says she wants to learn really bad but every time we go over she does not focus worth crap and every time we ask her questions about what we taught she always answers with either "prayer" or "Jesus"..... haha so yeah. But her son and daughter love to listen to us and understand really well. They were really interested in the fact that there is a prophet on the earth today and we invited them to read some conference talks and to pray about them. 

Overall things here a progressing a little slower than we had hoped but hey can't win em all.
