Hello again everyone.. .Time is flying by it's so wierd. But at the same time it's slow... and I am working, doing my best. :)

Not a whole lot to tell about this week, I had a down week in terms of sickness.. it was tough.. however...

-Our On-Dates both fell off-date :( but for reasonable reasons.. still hope!

-George (one of the on-dates) was schitzonphrenic, had the biggest pile of weed i ever seen in my life on his coffee table, and was freaked out by deep doctrine taught in church. He said he didn't want to meet anymore.... which is sad, he had potential to change and progress A TON, but I know that someone else will find him.

-Antonio the 9 year old was on date for yesterday, but his dad wouldn't give permission for him to be baptized. However, on the bright side, his mother seems to be making huge progress. She really is feeling the spirit and coming closer to God. It's so cool to see that! I think it's worth just as much as the baptism statistic to see a re-conversion. We're still working with them, praying really hard that their dad will give permission.... he wants to wait till he's older and can 'decide for himself'... this coming from the guy who wanted to baptize him when he was a baby into the catholic church... womp womp.. We still have charity for him..

Our district leader, Elder Larson, is training a cambodian missionary (Elder Sorn), straight from cambodia, he's a really funny little guy. We were talking to him a ton it's amazing how fast people learn english (he's still learning, but he's good..) haha.. Last time Elder Larson was training a random foreign kid we told him he was getting deported (Elder Song)... this time we put his name tag in Jello, I think it made his whole life. He was showing all the other missionaries pictures on sunday during our zone get together 'fireside'... So funny.. hopefully we'll get our hands on him again and get some funny phrases into his vocabulary.

Overall, it was a long week really, I've been hammered a lot recently, I'm just doing my best! Keep praying for me and I'll pray for you. I know the Church is true.. I can see the eternal perspective. Christ is living, He is so so so so close. I love the Lord, I love His Gospel. I'm slowly aligning my will with the will of the Father.... very much not perfect. But I'm doing the right things, trying my best.

Love ya! see ya soonish relatively
