Oh my family dear,
Can’t believe you are traveling around Central America (without me). I hope you are having the time of your lives and soaking up that sunshine and beach time. Oh how I love the beach. Make sure you enjoy it extra for me.
I honestly have no idea what to even talk about sometimes.
Well we met with that family that I told you about (YEHAW) Maria de la luz and Samuel. They’re so great, they have the most well behaved kids I have ever met. So we taught them the restoration and committed them to read the book of Mormon and pray. We have another appointment on Wednesday, we are hoping to commit them to baptism. Let me tell you, if they accept the gospel, they will be so awesome for the branch. I think they need the branch and the branch needs them. I’m super excited about them.
Yesterday we had a really high percentage of investigators.. about forty percent. Ya that is because only about ten people bothered to show up to church. I think I am seeing a trend that Sundays turn into Chastisement Sundays. Yesterday I got so fired up at everyone. I started pulling in the big guns and using president Hollands words on them. It’s just frustrating when we have all these members (who we visit all the time) and each one of them has a testimony, but no one can seem to commit enough to make it to church. Ay ya ya. Mediocrity is something the world has become very accustomed to, but I’m done with that junk.
Wanna know something funny? Well Hermana Ramos enters her REM cycle about the same time every night. Guess how I know? She sleep talks. Haha she speaks more clearly than anyone I have ever heard. The first couple nights I woke up to her talking about how hard it was to be a trainer. I also wake up to her convincing people that there is only one priesthood authority and that is in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Well, you know she is a dedicated missionary.. even when she sleeps. Haha
I’m doing well! I get really sleepy sometimes, like yesterday we were sitting on this cozy couch and it was all I could do not to sleep. My companion is also beginning to understand how important it is for me to eat, so I haven’t been having as many problems with that. I haven’t been sick at all. My health is good, I’m goood.
Miss you all, and love you tons.
