Man, i just was writing a pretty long and amazing letter full of inspiración. And we all know waht happens then. The Internet goes down and i lost it. POO!!!anyhoo, so i guess i will Start all over. And say that my typing is horrible and i hope that you can all read this. So el estor has been going and going. Seems that although things are not changing a ton here, the people are still rediculous and hard and its a loto f work, my mood is lifting because well, i jsut have been working so so hard here. My comp and i this week especially are so exhausted. Iw as ready for a Monday. We have been worknig and working and doing everything we can, comino home exhuasted in every sense at the end of the day. And i know that one day this Hill pay off in one way or another. But, i feel honestly a lot closer to the savior when i am working hard, and i feel like he is satisfied with my efforts. And yesteday we had 10 (yeah TEN!) investigators in chruch. Wahoo!!! I was so excited! And a little stressed because Sundays are so hard. All the members are asking a hundred things frmo us and we are trying to care for the new little investigators who are lost and confused and i had to teach gospel doctrine, in spanish, the law of consecration. It was a little rough, seeing as how i am not even sure i can explain it that well in english, let alone my very imperfect spanish. It was a busy day. And the last day of the week. WHEW!
anyhoo, i have a sneaking suspicion that this spell check is throwing in strange words that are maybe in tongan. Who kows. But also, that there are stupid preachers here blaspheming the name of our beloved prophet Joseph. Man i jsut get more and more love for him every day and more and more upset when people teach lies about him. UGH. We have been running into so many people this week who are listening to the message and then ask why Joseph smiths name is not in the bible. And these are people who CANNOT READ. How do they know that? And they dont really know anything thats in to bible resides what their crooked preachers tell them. Its sad really. They have closed their minds and hearts and i hope all their sins fall on the heads of those dang evangelical preachers. We jsut talk over and over about faith and christ and why the jews crucified him. His name wasnt in the old testement. I feel like we are teaching sadduceses and pharisees. Its nuts. Its kind of cool though, to speak with power about the savior and to feel the spirit and to just speak so bluntly to the people. Sometimes thats all we can do. I love this qospel even more every day.
Also we are starting a read the libro de mormon campaign. With activities, noche de hogars, and postres, charts and games and everything we cn think of. If you guys can, locate a place where they make tose rubber braceletseveryone wears, and make some that say Estoy leyendo el libro de mormon. That Would be cool to give for prizes. We have scriptures of the month and much more. its just going to change the Branch. If anything can, its this book. I am reading it again, but this time, in spanish, and i will finsih it in like, july, that will make 3 months. I love it. I am feeling so much more for this book. I feel like its so real and i just feel the urgency the writers had for us to recieve it and learn and love it. I feel that way about the Branch here. If they World jsut do it, they would really take off. Ahh this spell check is driving me nuts. Anyway i am about out of time and i hope you guys are all doing well. I love you all!!! Have a great week and send me mail for my birthday!!!
love you all
