nice to hear that logan is heading out for the mission also! ya i remember brother slaughter, i remember playing pokemon at his house one time with christopher, did he ever go on a mission? how does he not know where hes serving yet?
why did nicole and khloe move out? where did they go? ya i write chad, i usually just return his letters he sends to me. i was the last to write him so im waiting for the reply letter.
sounds like you have been saying this house project would be over every week for the last two months. is it ever going to really end?
ya i wont get the package till after Chrismas but im fine with that. heres my last Christmas on the mission though. i come home this coming year haha.
what do i want for transfers. with every ounce of desire in my little heart i want to leave this place and never return. theres a reason why the church has been in tupã for 33 years and they still dont have a stake. the church arrived in manaus 25 years ago and not only do they have at least 9 stakes they have a temple also. (you need at least 9 stakes to have a temple) the church only grows where the members are willing to work. i am certain that of my baptisms here, almost all will leave the church. the members never do there home teaching or visiting teaching. im still baptizing, i was looking at the baptisms here with the last two years and i have the most baptisms here of anyone thats passed through in the last 5 years. besides some spencer mechum from arizona that baptized a ton here and NOBODY from his hard work is active, and i know that cause its me that is trying to reactivate them right now. ive actually got 3 possible people to baptize this sunday and 2 more for next week, its not that the works not moving with the missionaries its that the members here are FUBECAS. i baptized a single 21 year old of two small children back in september with elder saraiva and shes already gone inactive. she has been assigned visiting teachers and the branch member missionaries to make visits to her and teach her again and within 2 and a 1/2 months you know how many visits shes gotten... 0
even with her less active nobody cares. im preaching to a dead congregation. ill always baptize wherever i go, the only thing is that after there baptized id like them to stay active and here in tupã theres almost no chance for that. i feel like im fulfilling my duties basically just to do it and nothing else. i have faith in the work, just not the people. terra amaldiçoado! i dont get dissapointed, this is the best work ive done or will do in my life.
youre gonna have to make me a skype account cause i dont have one and what if i get a comp next week that doesnt have one. make me a skype and next week send me the password and stuff please. haha kayson is funny huh. another girl. o boy.
my shoes are fine, one pair just wore down way faster then the other and was already getting destroyed so im just gonna let them die then switch to the others. there my nice pair for sundays and zone conferences! :D
