My days could be better. This week has been extremely rough. All but 1 of
our investigators have dropped us or we can no longer get a hold of them.... it's
rough. So we are starting from scratch again.... It is hard here because we are in
the "Bible Belt" where everyone is Baptist and no matter how hard you try to
explain to them about the church and the Priesthood, they don't understand. They
think that Joseph Smith is just another "preacher" and that all preachers are
"prophets" so it is extremely hard to help them understand that they are
different!!! I don't know, it's frustrating. And I think that I am just getting
selfish because I am not seeing the fruit of my labors. I am literally exhausted
physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
On a good note, we do have a very good potential investigator! His name is
T__________. He was dating E___________. Did you ever get the email from S____________with a few pictures of us with her? Anyway, we love her and she
is great! She feeds us every week and helps us out a lot! So her oldest daughter
E__________. So because they feed us so often we have gotten really close with this
family and every time we share a message, he is really into it. So Me and
Sister Snyder have had a huge prompting to ask if the church is something that
he is interested in. We kinda postponed it because they have been getting ready
for their wedding. We have been helping them a few hours this week (every week
we need to do 4 hours of service) with the wedding and it was such a great
surprise when we got an invitation for the wedding!!! My first southern
wedding!!! It was on Saturday. So
we went over to their house on Thursday to help them. Before we got in the house Sister
Snyder said that she feels like we need to ask him tonight.... so we did and he said absolutely!! We are very
excited about him! The wedding was good, I will send pictures!
Not much more to say about this week, it has been a hard one but it is all good!
Yesterday Sister Snyder and I
have been feeling really sick and it's moved into today too so I feel a little crummy today... but I am taking care of
myself!
OH and just so you know, some missionaries have been taking advantage of
the emailing time and have gotten in trouble for it so here in this mission,
emailing has been limited to an hour, so I have even less time to email people
so just let the family know that writing me will be best because I will have
time to read it and to write back! But I still want you to email me :) because I
have your emails to read and I also have to report to my mission president here
in Georgia and in Salta so I really don't have a lot of time to email everyone.
But I have time to write letters on p-days and in my lunch breaks all the other
days of the week.
Don't worry my legs are alright, I knew that would freak you out! haha!
Thanks for the package! I can't wait to get it! I have a zone meeting on Friday so hopefully I get it then!!!
YAY!! I'm drinking a ton of water, I just got bit close to where my strap on my
shoes go so it looked a little swollen. Speaking of shoes..... my black ones,
the right sole came off a little bit but don't worry, I got some freaking amazing
shoe glue and that sucker isn't coming off again! haha There is a member in
the ward that says that my shoes are not going to last a log time in Argentina
so I had a thought, next pay we are going to be in Macon (a city that is much
more populated than here) and there is a payless there. I'm thinking of getting a
pair of black flats because we honestly don't do a lot of walking here because we
have a car and that will save my shoes for Argentina..... just a thought
though.
So speaking of Macon next
Monday, We are having a zone p-day and I will only have like 30 min to
write you that day so I will write you a letter with more detail!
I'm glad grandma got my address! I was actually going to write and ask how she is doing!
FISHING?!?!?! oh I miss that!! I forgot what normal things feel like!
haha
Well I think that is all for now! But I want to share a scripture with you that I have fallen in love with! Mosiah 4:27
The scripture speaks for its self!!
Love y'all!
