November 21, 2011 11:29:59 AM ( Oops skipped a week posting)

HOLA FAMILIA!!!!!
Well, another week down and still working.
These last few weeks weve come across a BUNCH of new investigators.
On friday, we were on the way to an appointment when I had to stop and tie my shoe, and all of the sudden we hear someone shouting "elderes! elderes!"
THis was a single mom who really wants to repent. She listened to the missionaries about 10 years ago but she says that she knows that we are from god and that we can help her to repent.
The only issue with her is that, shes looking to a bunch of churches to help her, so that could pose a problem.
Well, we still dont have any progressing investigators, because NOBOBY COMES TO CHURCH!!!!! Weve been focusing on that, telling our investigators that they NEED to come to church, but they dont do it. And now my mission prez wrote me today saying hes worried that we havent been having anybody at church. GAH!!!!!!!!
But weve been doing all we can.
Oh, we had a training session a couple of weeks ago and our mission prez told us of an experience with a patriarchal blessing that a missionary wrote him about recently. THis was for a recent convert and it said that she wouldve joined the church 20 years ago but a young man that wouldve been her missionary chose not to serve a mission.
That just makes me know that there are specific people that I gotta find and I gotta do all I can to find them.
I am feeling better and my comp is opening up more and more to me. But there is one thing that concerns me a lot. He told me he doesnt think hes gonna serve the whole 2 years. He thinks hes gonna go til the new year and throw in the towel. His girlfriend told him that she would still marry him if he came home early soooooo, yeah....
Well, Ill be on for another 20 minutes,
Love you all!!!!!

WOOOOOOT I AM A UNCLE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YUP I AM SUPER PUMPED!!!!!!! WOOOT WOOT!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS DAN AND MICHELLE!!!!!
Yup, but this was a good week. We finally had investigators at church this week. Were gonna marry a couple, so thats awesome.
Were working with some less actives to reactivate them.
As a mission were focusing right now on the temple. How important it is to have converts, not baptisms.
But Im doing well because were finally gonna have some baptisms soon!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!
AND I HAVE A NEW NEPHEW!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I would like to vent for one moment about how I DO NOT LIKE self righteous people. They very much irritate me.
Yesterday, I went to eat at a members house, and the wife went on for about 10 minutes about how righteous she is!!!! Im not even kidding, she was talking about how everyone loves her and how shes such a great example of the church!!! And in fact, her rumor spreading is a reason why one less active that we are reactivating is less active!!!!! GAH!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, theres a goods number of members who are like that. Yeah, not cool.
But I would like to take this opportunity to share they story of the people we are gonna marry.
Well, we had been teaching his wife for about a month and a half and we were about to stop teaching her. And her huband drank A LOT!!!!! And she wanted to leave him (yes I refer to husband even though they are not married), but he was drinking so much, that he had to stop because of health issues in his liver. ANd now that hes trying to stop, hes having severe pains. But inicially, he didnt want to listen to us, but one day he decided to, and now he tells us that he wants to leave all of his old habits behind and come unto christ. IT IS AWESOME!!!! And were gonna have FHE with them tonight.
So yeah, Im doing well.
Until next week, Love you ALL
