To start off, none of the sisters brought anyone to church because the whole town here is in festivities. Basically the streets have been filled with tradicional candies, rides and other cool typical things which means as missionaries we have to be a little more careful than usual of theives and other things. In fact, to evade this, last night we headed out of the town a little to our investigadors who live further out to give them a visit and not have to worry so much about the rucous and on the way out we saw a guy get robbed. The guy who got robbed had a gun. He started to chase the kid and didn't shoot. I am thankful for that. My companion and I both thought that it was not worth it to shoot someone. We were both very impressed that as the guy was running with the gun, he had it in his hand pointed at the ground so as to not shoot any bystanders. He could have shot at the kid, but there were a lot of people behind him, so if the man missed, it might have hit some innocent bystander. We both think he's had formal training.
We have also had a very eventful week because of multi-zones and other mission activities. This next week is the temple dedication, so we will be going there, but have to watch it at the stake center. Should be fun. Friday we will be getting the chance to meet President Eyring. The two missions are getting together for that.
Yesterday in church, I gave my third talk in a row here in Sensutepeque. ha ha ha But we are working on getting that fixed. We're trying to strengthen the faith of the members here in the branch.
Sorry to be short and so scatterbrained, but we have to go to San Vicente right now because a couple of missionaires are finishing their missions tomorrow and there are some elders who need companions. I have to laugh because some times I speak El Salvadorean English. Well, you guys have a great week, ok?
I love you all and I think they will start to call you guys for my return trip home about a month to 3 weeks in advance to my arrival. ok.

(Letter to Mission President from Elder Proksch in Spanish, then literal translation from Babel Fish Translation. He wanted to share it with everyone because of the special experience he had.)
hola presidente
pues gracias por su carta de encontrando familias. ayer tuvimos una expiriencia especial. ambos en la protecion de dios sobre los missioneros y de encontrando personas.
primero ayer a las 4 en la tarde fuimos con algunos miembros de la igeslia para dar una bendicion. no sabiamos q el hombre q estaba recibiendo el bendicion no era miembro. pues explicamos como sirve los bendiciones con la fe y esperanza en jesucristo y el decidio par aceptar una bendicion. pusimos nuestros manos sobre tu cabeza y mi comapnero elder Sacalxot dio el bendicion. cuando estabamos dando el bendicion en mi mano derecha pudia sentir como si fue un calor saliendo de la cabeza de esta hombre. el calor entro mi mano pero no paso mi muñeca y senti paz. se q fue el espiritu.
despues de el bendicion placticamos un poco con el hombre para ver si podemos regresar a compartir un pequeño mensaje con el. el acepto. luego en camino por el pueblo otra vez por que su casa es algo retirado, los miembros paro el camioneta y sailiron al par del camino para hablar con nosotros. y tuvimos un pequeño mym con ellos hablando de que sentimos el espiritu y otros expiriecnicas. fue muy linda. bueno larga historia corta tenemos un padre de una familia de 14 personas q vamos a ensenar proximo semana. se que el señor tiene personas preparados para nosotros solo tenemos q buscarlos, como le dijo, no solo tocando puertas pero en todo tiempos, bendiciones, iglesia, calle y todos partes. y el chofer no es miembro vamos a regresar a enseñar a el tambien.
bueno presidente nos amo y nos vemos este proximo semana con presidente eyring.
