Hello Family!!
I
honestly can´t believe it´s pday again. These last two weeks were so busy
the time has just been flying by. Just like one big blur. Weird
stuff.
But
anyway... I can´t really think of much to talk about this week so I guess
I´ll give a quick update on the investigators. Kirby. Basically
fell. He took his whole pay check yesterday and spent it on drugs and
alcohol and left his wife and children hungry. We´re probably going to
drop him because he seems to have lost the desire to change. It´s
heartbreaking to see him being a bum to his wife and daughters like that.
But luckily his wife Monica is still really cool and I think she´ll be fine in
the church even after we stop going by for Kirby. Maria is doing pretty
well. She smoked last week but she´s making it longer and longer and I
think she´ll be able to stop completely pretty soon here.
Please include
her and Kirby and Monica in your prayers. So Maria, Kirby, and Maria´s
son, Mel, and his partner Veronica all went to church this last Sunday.
We went and taught Mel and Veronica and they were positive and want to change
but they don´t really want to get married in so little time and they really
hesitated to take the fecha. We´ll see what happens with them but they
already have two times in church which is nice.
Noel is doing
good. If you don´t remember he´s the father of an RM and active daughter
and his wife got baptized about a year ago. He´s cool and went to church
this week. But after church he went to a family reunion thing and
drank. So I don´t think he learned very much in church. But we went
by on Monday and macheted him pretty hard and got him feeling pretty bad about
drinking. Please pray that he´ll be able to stop drinking and
smoking. Family Robleto talked to a lawyer on Saturday about stuff they
had to get in order so they can get married. But they didn't go to church
on Sunday which was a bummer. Things have slowed down a bit with them but
Javier still wants to get baptized and Muriel still has a lot of doubts.
We´re going to teach tithing better today with a member and try to get it
resolved.
I had a bit of
a rough day on Sunday. I woke up at 5 and had some horrible diarrhea and
puked like three times before church. So to bring people to church Elder
Jungers dropped me off at Noel´s house and I was on a division with his son
(the RM) while Elder Jungers brought Maria´s family with the RM´s cousin who is
also an RM. I felt pretty crappy at church and then as the day went on
after I felt a bit better. I´ve felt pretty much better since then but
every morning I have some pretty bad diarrhea. The symptoms initially
pointed at food poisoning but I didn't really eat anything on Saturday so the
nurse thinks I have a parasite. I got to go to a little sketchy medical
lab and get a parasite test (which I won´t describe here). We´ll get the
results tomorrow.
I have an
appointment tomorrow with the dermatologist to get the prescription for
accutane. Hopefully that goes fine.
This week is
the last normal week of the change and then we have changes next Wednesday. It´s a weird 7 week change this change because of additional
week everyone now gets in the MTC. But it´ll go back to 6 week changes in
the future. By what I´m hearing change week is absolutely crazy in the
office. We have to coordinate all of the training and accommodations for
the incoming missionaries and we have to coordinate all of the activities and
stuff for the missionaries that will be departing. Then after changes the
Beals will leave and I´ll be on my own in the financial stuff. And we
have an audit possibly coming up in May. Fun.
Well I
hope everyone has a great week! Have fun golfing dad! Nice job on
your pitch-in. That´s impressive. I think I´ve only done that once
and probably from a lot closer. I´m glad you had a good time in Arizona
Love you all!!
I feel like I forgot to say something important so if I did I´ll send another
email I guess.
Love,
Elder Smith
