Dear Mom. . .
Hope you are all having a
great summer up in Idaho. Only this summer I have to miss. So next
summer, I don’t want to go do sales with Colby. It would be fun but I
want to be at the house and work for grandpa or find a dental lab to work in.
So you can put in applications for anything that starts in the fall like
august or September. You can apply to BYUI and ISU, just as long as it
starts in the fall. So just start them!!! And, President Callan filled out
stuff for missionaries all the time so there isn’t a problem with that.
Well I guess it will be President Agazzani. They got here Saturday.
This week was hard, it was
a ruff one. We didn’t have very good numbers and my companion is not easy.
We found some new people this week and had some good lessons but not
many. I’m trying to be the example of the district and I can’t really do
it with my comp. All he does is talk about the stuff he did before he was
a member. I just don’t want to hear about it. Yesterday, we were at
the house to change and to eat, and he went to bed. So when the time was
up for studying, I woke him up and he just flipped me off and went back to bed.
I was so mad at him. I haven’t even talked to him today. If
he keeps doing this stuff then I will be writing it to the President next week. Also,
Javier is drinking, the family that Elder Hauser & I baptized.....so today I
am going to write him a letter.
Yesterday they put in a new
branch president in our branch. This guy is young and was a bishop
already so he knows what he is doing....hope we can get some better work done
with him. Also like I said the new mission president gets here. Ha-ha
and Andres got up in sacrament meeting yesterday and shared his testimony.
It was awesome...he is asking if he can get the M priesthood. He is
really progressing and learning more every day.
Ok so we are teaching
Camila and she is 11. She came to church 3 times and can get baptized.
The problem is that we can never teach her because there is never a guy at
the house and she never talks. We have Jose, he just has to make a decision
to get baptized....he has everything but I think he is just a bit scared.
We found a young girl this week; she is really smart and understood the
whole lesson. She has 3 chapters to read in alma that she chose.
Andrea isn’t really answering my phone calls, and we can only teach her
on the weekends. She is afraid that if she gets baptized, her mom will
kick her out of the house. She is going to have a baby and her mom is
helping her with the baby and she doesn’t want to lose that help and support.
SO I need more people to teach, I want more. . . .
I don’t know when I will
meet the new mission pres. I doubt we have zone conference this change as
he is new to this game. Maybe we will have interviews soon, I don’t know.
Something crazy to eat lately
. . . oh I know peanut butter. Elder Keller got 6 jars of peanut butter.
He gave me one when he left, and 3 days ago I opened it up . . . it was
full of ants!!!! I don’t know how they got in the jar. I was so
mad. That’s like a delicacy here in the
mission.
As the DL, I have to
interview all of the investigators before they can be baptized. Also
every Tuesday I have to prepare the lesson for district meeting and make up the
stuff to practice at the district meeting. Every Sunday night I have to
call all the elders in my district to record their numbers from the week then I
call the zone leaders and give them to them. I have to be the example to my
entire district and go on divisions or splits to help them be better
missionaries and get them excited. I have to go on divisions with the
zone leaders tomorrow!!!
Something that made me
smile this week . . . Madagascar 3 is coming out only in theaters or if you
live here in Ciudad del Este, you can buy it on any street corner 3 weeks ago.
. . HAHA!
That about it for the week
mom...love you tons
