This last week was the worst of my mission as far as numbers go. We only had like 7 lessons, and most of the time we were just trying to talk to people in the street and knocking doors. Nobody wanted to talk with us......and it was pretty hard to want to work. I’ve been feeling pretty worthless as a companion because I’m supposed to know the area super well, and know what we should do when our lessons fall through, but I’ve run out of ideas lol.
We were teaching this kid named Benjamin, and he was super interested, but I guess he moved to this mom’s house in another area, and we haven’t been able to talk with him since, super frustrating.
We’ve been trying to ask the members for people that they know that we could teach, but pretty much nobody talks to each other out here. If anybody has any ideas, let me know haha.
Wow this email is depressing,
I just got done talking with my brothers and my sweet mother!!! So there’s something positive! Sounds like everything’s gucci back home.
Oh something super interesting, so Jose, the sorta crazy guy that we’ve been teaching, told us that we don’t know anything because we’re super young, and that he was talking with Jesus and Jesus told him he could smoke and drink all he wanted lol. I’m starting to think that this spirit thing that he’s talking to ain’t Jesus......dat be da devil.
Something funny happened this week: a bird flew into our apartment in the middle of the night, and it was just chilling next to a picture of Jesus. I was like.......¿el Espíritu Santo? jaja we had a fun time trying to get him out.
Anyway, Elder stanger and I are going to try and have some family home evenings with some of the members this week to try and get more members to come to church. We think it will be a good thing.
Hope all is well with all of you back home. Thanks for your prayers!
Elder Anderson
