Family!!
Im seriously so stoked about Davids mission call. When i read it, i had the EXACT same feelings when i opened my call... basically this (overcome by the spirit) 创yeah that makes sense创 i really felt like i already knew it. its so perfect.. i cant really explain it. but wow thats so awesome and he will joining me in 2 and a half months.
So this week was okay... to answer your questions mom yes we are keeping ours spirits up. its difficult to do so. but we are. we had 6 baptisms scheduled for this week and we had 2. it was way depressing to see that the people we have been teaching werent truly ready or wanted to be baptized. but i thought to myself that we did all we could. we served them taught them the gospel and loved them. the rest is up to them. its still difficult though. but whatever.
I only get to call home on mothers day and christmas. but happy fathers day!!
so one of the ladys that we were teaching and she was excited to be a member had an interesting expericence. before baptism our investigators need to be interviewed by the zone leaders. they live 1 hour away. so they arrived to interview here but she wasnt at home like she promised she would be. so then saturday night we talked to her and she said im sorry and she really wants to be baptized. so then we called the ZL and begged him to come on sunday to interview her right befor baptism. so he came and... you guessed it. she wasnt home.... well actually she was but here sister said she wasnt. we knew she was. so we went to the back of her house to see and we saw her run to the front. then we went to the front and she ran to the back... it was ridiculous. and truly sad. but whatever haha.
So im glad to hear that all is well there. i miss you all. today i was studying in alma and i came across alma 39:14 which talks more about not setting our hearts on riches. (dont worry im not starting with that again) haha but i want to clarify what i meant. i want a nice house, i want really nice things, and i want a 2010 range rover. there is nothing wrong with wanting these things. its just when we put these things ahead of what really matters is the problem. so sorry if i made someone mad about calling americans idiots. i love americans!! haha
So all is well here. life is good. OH yeah. me and my comp got pink eye this week. when we entered peoples homes they thought we were on drugs. it was way funny. but it sucked cuz it hurt like crap and these past few days i have had a headache.
the language is going good. i feel comfortable in almost all situations now. im blessed cuz there is no way i could learn a new language in 4 months without the help of the Lord. 4 months? wow now that i think of it time is passing way fast. wow.
well i love you all and i cant wait to here from you all again. keep living the gospel and youll keep being blessed.
love yall
