Hey Moms,
This week was interesting. They ended up sending a
few of the missionaries in the zone home this week, some for disobedience and
others for sicknesses. Both are pretty rare. But things are going well in our
area. We have another baptism coming up next Saturday, not this one but next week.
He is super golden. I don’t know what it is but we have found a lot of
golden investigators in this area. He just really wants to change his life and he is friends with a lot of members here. So he said he just is making the
connections and getting baptized just makes sense. He showed up to church this
week and we were just kind of showing him the chapel and all, and we took him
in front of the baptismal font and we were just talking to him, and then we
just put a baptismal date and he was like, ok, I'll do it. It's crazy when you
find people like that. It’s so exciting and really makes all the crappy days
worth it ha-ha. I really am enjoying the comp I have right now too. He is just
super humble and doesn’t want to do anything but work hard. I don’t think I
have ever worked so hard on my mission. It would be nice to see more fruits
from the work, but I will never complain about finding a golden investigator.
Changes are in two weeks and I am really scared they are going to change me. I
really really don’t want to leave. It’s hard to accept changes and have the
¨I'll go where you want me to go¨ attitude. Especially when you feel like you’re
in stride. But hopefully they leave me at least another change here. I wouldn’t
complain about that. I am not even feeling the time go by either. I can’t
believe I'm just down to the fingers now; I don’t need my toes anymore to
count the months. That’s crazy.
Josh's talk sounds great. Though speaking of feet, Josh might not have hobbit feet, but his brother in law sure does. I always
thought Tafty looked like Frodo from the ankles down. But I really enjoyed that
talk too by E Christofferson. It's really what it all comes down to in the
church; how much the men are willing, ready, and able to do. I have seen a lot
of families either make it or break it here, and its always 100% based on the
father. It's sad too because you see alcoholism destroy so many men here. That’s
a cool story about his dad though. I really like that too. It's funny how the Sunday
school answers are the things that will save us one day. Simplicity of the
gospel.
Alex was telling me y'all want to come and pick me up. My
opinion on that is this; it would be better to wait until I am home and then
come back. One, because as a missionary I can leave my mission, so all the cool
touristy spots of Guate, I can't go to those. Plus, when I go home it's still
kind of rainy season here. It would be better to come in the summer when the weather
is really nice, and we can go apostate at the dance clubs at night because I
won't be wearing a name badge. That’s just what I think though; it’s all up to
you guys of course, especially since it’s your money. Anyways, I love you guys,
have a good week.
Adam
