Hello Family!The cruise sounded way fun!, I can’t believe that you guys already went and got back, cause this last week was one of the fastest weeks of my life for some reason! It was really good, we have been teaching this guy that has know the church for a while but he just got in a divorce, but ya he got baptized yesterday so it was really good! He had to get a special interview cause his whole situation was really complicated. He’s actually living with this girl that he has had 5 kids with, but they are sleeping in different rooms. The only reason why he is living there is to help feed and support his kids. It was really complicated but everything turned out good!
Everything else is going pretty good, We had like 10 investigators at church and we have like 7 more with dates. Changes are next week so I’m praying that I will stay with Elder Tilley here in El vale.
Today for P-day we played soccer with another zone and it was way fun. Both my pinky toes are way jacked up though, the toe nails are seriously about to fall off. I cant believe its almost September! I feel like I haven’t done anything here on the mission! It really is like kind of sad that a whole year is already done, and after a year more I’m never going to have this same opportunity again.
This week we taught like this evangelical priest, cause we have been teaching his wife lately and she actually came to church last week! But seriously this guy got pretty mad at us, we were like owning him in doctrine and he won’t even pick up the Book of Mormon and read it. People seriously are so confused in this world. I was doing some pretty hard core studies in the old testament this week, and I seriously found some of the sweetest stuff and connections. There’s not a single doubt in my mind that this is the only true church and the only path that you can take to be able to live with God again. I have this like crazy thirst to learn now, I’m so excited to read tons of books when I get home from my mission. Well family I’m way glad you had fun on the cruise, mom you look really tan! You guys better start planning another cruise to go on when I get home! no jk. but I love you and have a good week! Chow!
