The viejito that we bautized said it
was the best day of his life. He is trying to get his wife and neighbors
to listen to us. The blind guy needs more time before he is ready.
He needs to come to church more and he also spends the first week of
every month in Mexico. I wish we had the money to make tacos. We
don't get jack for money and the members are pretty inconsistent about feeding
us. Money is what I need for christmas. I have had to use my
personal card for a lot of things because I can't get cash out on my church
card and a lot of places only take cash. As for anything else, just surprise
me.
Have you been teaching Giselle in the house? It will be a lot easier
for her to feel the spirit there than in her place. Also, if you are
there when the sisters are teaching, let them do all the talking. Go with
their lesson plan. It is really really really really really annoying when
we make the arrangements for a lesson, spend hours studying and planning, and
then the member comes in and ruins the lesson. We had one that we spend
half an hour beforehand telling the member our lesson plan, and he managed to
talk about foreordination, the grand council in heaven, the differences between
the aaronic and melchizedek priesthoods, and then some of the things that go on
in the temple that he shouldn't have said. Or this week, a family that we
have been working with since I got in this area finally agreed to do a FHE with
some members. We prayed and studied for hours trying to find the best
thing to meet their needs, planned it, and set up a time with the members to do
it. They showed up early to the members' house (before we did) and when
the member called us to let us know they had arrived, we told them to wait
before they tried to start anything. The member thought he knew better,
and we arrived just before he was finishing up what he thought this
investigator really needed. Needless to say, the spirit was nowhere to be
found. I was pissed.
Tell Braden that I expect an email from him every
week as well!
