Hey

Hey Everyone,

This are getting harder and harder here. Its not a physical thing but mental. No one in our city wants to hear the gospel. Weve contacted the whole city and have our good investigators. But our investigators are not progressing and were actually losing some. Its very difficult right now but if we endure we will recive blessings. We have talked to the president in our interviews last week and he said we should stop contacting and work on the less actives. So we have switched our whole techniques and are now working hard in finding the lost sheep. We have found many and almost all of them left the church because either someone offended them in words or they started to work on sundays and gradually left. But we have lots of ones that have been offended. SO we are working on them and also sticking with our investigators. We have also been setting up tons of service with anyone we meet. Also on wendsdays we are having a dominoes night. the people here are always playing dominoes and we had 12 show up for the first week at the church. we think it will grow and grow. We are trying to think of anything to get people interested and getting us known in the community. Our Peloteros or Baseball players are even better then what i thought. One was offered a 1 million dollar signing bonus with the dodgers and the other $600,000 dollors for a signing bonous with the reds. but we dont know if there going to take it. The million dollor guy we probably wont baptize because we think hes doing it because his friends are. and he hasnt shown the fruits of wanting to be baptized. we really look for those in our investigators. we want members for life not like all the town of nizao who we baptized and have fallen away. But we have good news. When we were at the hospital visitnig the sick a lady that showd us around invited us to here house in a far away city but still in our area. Missionaries have really never been there. Its name is Pizzarte but she lives on the outskirts in in a town called Guale. She and here family were really into the lessons and were begging us to come back. It was amazing. So tommorow were going to go their all day and shes going to cook us dinner. and then bring us to all her friends. We prayed about it and we feel really good about this really far away city. It costs a lot of money to get their adn takes a long time to get there but we really are feeling that thats were we should be working. These people are receptive. If all goes well tommorow we will probably go their 3 times a week. We will sacrifice our little money we have but these are the only people showing fruits. So I love you all and hope that you all will have great weeks. Your all examples to me.
