Wow
Gretchen is pregnant already? Wow. Yeah I got the package Wednesday. Thanks! I
gave out the spider rings to the beehive and valiant girls… Halloween I guess
has only been a holiday for like 10 years here, so not everyone celebrates it.
BUT THEY TOOK OFF THURSDAY AND FRIDAY FROM SCHOOL TO CELEBRATE IT!!! AND ITS
NOT EVEN THERE HOLIDAY!!!! AND THEY WONDER WHY THEY ARE IN A CRISIS...!!! THEY TAKE OFF TWO DAYS FOR AN
AMERICAN HOLIDAY THAT WE DON´T EVEN GET A DAY OFF FROM!!! There was a party for
the primary at the capilla Friday. We stopped by for a second. Holy cow though
trying to proselyte Thursday and Friday night was so hard. No one wanted
anything.
I
just called the Elder´s in Crevillente to try and get the address of a member,
and it just filled me up with so much joy. It sounds like everyone´s doing
really well there, and a couple that we taught the whole time I was there are
getting baptized in a few weeks for sure now. O how I miss that place. They put
two more Elders in Crevillente so there are 4 now...crazy.
This
week was pretty depressing although our numbers were pretty good. We just
aren´t happy that we haven´t been able to find anyone new to teach. For P-day
none of us had any money so we just emailed and then played Settler´s of Catan
all day. Elder Buckway has two extensions so the game was pretty crazy. I
didn´t understand the rules at all and to be honest I was writing letters so I
wasn´t paying too much attention.
Tuesday
we had a specialized training in Cadiz. We had to bet there at 9:30 so we had
to wake up at like 6:30 to get ready and take the bus there. It was a pretty
normal meeting...
The
middle of the week was pretty boring. Everything is moving so slow. We find
people but they can only meet one day a week so it´s hard to make real
progress. Saturday night we found ourselves on a street that we knew some
inactive members lived, but we didn´t have any information about them, only
their names and address. We knock the door and a woman answers and lets us in.
I realized I had met her before at the house of a member, and I remembered that
she was a Jehovah´s Witness. It turns out that her parents are members, but her
dad is 101 YEARS OLD, and her mom is 81. Neither of them can really talk or do
anything. They just sit in a bed all day every day and their kids just wait for
them to die. But its crazy the 81 year old seems way worse than her 101 year
old husband. We had a lesson with the 101 year old. He could understand well
enough, and even bore a little testimony. Something about Jesus Christ …. And
he said he wanted us to come by more. I think we´ll prob stop by every week or
two.
Hey
there is a inactive couple that wants to get in touch with the missionary who
baptized them, but they have no way of doing that. Can you try looking up the
missionary on facebook? His name is Frank Preston Royer (not sure how exactly
to spell Royer). He´d be about 50-55, and lived in Arizona at one point.
That´s
it. Sorry, like I said this week sucked.
Love
ya love ya!!!!!!!!!!
