Alright, this week was super good
Our baptism that we thought was going to leave, didnt go. He stuck around. he comes from honduras and is trying to cross the border. It costs usually 5 to 10 thousand dollars for someone to take you across. Aight well thats alot of dough. and usually they get caught anyways and if they dont get caught the coyote turns out to be a kidnapper and then makes them pay 20 thousand to get out which is alot of cash for someone that has no money haha. But its interesting all that goes on here.
Anyways the lord kept him here this week and his bap. was super spiritual we had the ward choir there and it turned out super well. We worked hard this week but didnt have much success actually our whole zone turned out the same. we bap. 8 this week and know have 4 bap. date in the zone... usually we have 15 or so. so anyways we are in trouble. But we are doing good, we will pick it up this week. next monday we will have transfers which will help us also, we have some Elders here that need to get out of the zone and away from each other, we have 2 very feminine Elders here, actually they go to the same ward.... there are 4 there, and the members have started to complain saying that they seem to be Gay.... Im sure they are not, the peruanos are jsut really feminine or so ive seen here in the mission so far. but they are passing the line alittle bit. But everything is getting better here. Im still getting alittle skinier.... I think and hope so. I drink protien in the morning after we play basketball and I lift, and am eating less. My comp. hates it. He wants to eat more haha, he is a big boy. But everyone is telling him how skinny he looking and I think it is helping him alittle.
the stake went to the temple this week, and my convert maria went.... that made me super happy. Alot of the people we have been working with went to the temple and they all came back super pumped. Its crazy that they bused 13 hours there and 13 back just to do 5 bap. a piece. but the temple is the house of God and is an amazing place... I really do miss it alot. this week I didnt do so hot studying. we had stuff almost every morning so that always is lame, if you dont study in the morning the day just doesnt seem to go as well, the spirit isnt there and life just gets you down. But Im still doing good, we also had a meeting with all the bishops of the stake and they were super mad at us haha, my comp started to fight with them and it was a pretty big show, but I stepped in and told the bishop that we would handled the problem personally and that he does not need to worry about it anymore. Many times people dont understand how to take responsability and it hinders them in every aspect of there life. The same happens with people in the church they dont take resp. and never repent of what they have done, always denying it.
Alma 31 is an interesting chap. we see the zoramites, who are members of the church by desent of there fathers but have gone astray from the pracitices of the church.... like many of the less active membes now aday... in the end of the chap. God helps them change and the last verse says by what means he did this great maricle " Now this was according to the prayer of Alma; and this because he prayed in bfaith." Pray for those that havent been wit us and arent in the church visit them and serve them..
Love you all tons,
Peace, and love
