Anyway, that is just crazy bout the missionary applications! Who'da thought that it would have changed so dramatically! Sisters are going to destroy the missions now.
Well, thinking about what I did this week, I don't really remember, so it might be a kind of boring email this week.
We taught, we tracted, we contacted, and we didn't have anyone in church. That's it. See ya later family!!!
Just kidding. This week we started teaching a family which is pretty cool. The first time we just taught the wife, whose name is Eloisa. She let us in without a problem, and she said that she had interest to know more about our church. We taught her the first lesson, and it was really great. She is really intelligent. Later this week, we came by and her husband and her other kid was there, and we taught them the first lesson again. Costa asked some really good questions and wanted to really understand what we were teaching. He was really open to our message. We are going to go back this week and challenge the whole family, (they have two kids, one who is 10 and the other is 15) to be baptized.
This week I have gotten a little frustrated with my companion. I just got to tough it out one more week though. It's weird to think that I'll be leaving campos. 7 months seems like it's been forever.
This week has been really hot. Really hot. Like I have been melting, but it's not that bad. haha. Gotta give all for the Lord's work I guess.
We have been trying our best with Orlando, he has been making progress with the Word of Wisdom, but we haven't been able to talk to him very much this week and he didn't go to church on Sunday, which was disappointing. We'll really have to get on him this week. He's a really good kid, and he knows it's right, but his friends will really hold him back. We had a really good lesson with him this week with a member, and we found out that when he was younger, he was shot 6 times, and so he really thinks it a miracle that he survived, and that he has some mission to do, but he doesn't know what it is.
It's really interesting to see how much you love the people that you teach and how much you want them to choose the right, and how disappointed you are when they choose to not keep the commitments that they make.
Jonas, our baptism is doing really well. He really wants to learn about the gospel. He's already excited to get to the temple, and he really wants to do what is right and serve. Its amazing to see how much he has changed since we started teaching him. He used to be very serious, and he never smiled, and always looked like he was mad at something. Now he smiles, he jokes and really just wants to learn more about the Book of Mormon, about the church and about the gospel. It's amazing to see the changes that the gospel brings in people's life.
We started to work with Tanya again, we challenged her to be baptized again, and she said that she would. She was finally deciding to do it. But then she didn't show up at church, and basically I don't think that she will be baptized for a while because of her husband. It's really annoying. But what can we do?
It's great being a missionary. It definitely has its challenges, but it's great.
I found a bakery this week that has the closest thing that I have found to jelly filled donuts. ohmygoodnessgraciousdeliciousness. I'm definitely going to get some today.
Oh, and we also had the primary program here too. It was pretty funny. I had to bless the sacrament this week so I got to look at the congregation. It’s interesting to see how many of the people were singing the songs too.
Well that is about it for my week. Love you all! You're the best family! The mission goes by way to fast.
It’s scary. I only have 7 more transfers to really work hard and teach the gospel. That's a crazy thought. I think I need like 10 more.
Well, lots of love, until next week!
