Still Looking for Investigators

O.K., I am pretty sure I am right. Is your anniversary this week on the 14 and if it's not, my bad. How will that feel, your first in thirty something years with just you guys.I hope you will have a good anniversary. This week I fasted twice for our investigators and this week I will probably fast again. I got a letter from the president that his last line asked if I was using my time wisely because our numbers are falling a little. I felt bad because is that is all he can see is the numbers? They have been falling because we can't find anyone to teach. When we do find people, we teach them and then can't find then again.  President can't see all the sweat we put in, in the hot sun all day. I know the Lord knows what we are doing, so that is what I will focus on. We had an investigator attend church, which was a miracle in itself. It was ten to five and he walked in. If he didn't attend this Sunday, then the other day that he attended would have fallen through, so it's good he came. Now he has two needs met. One more and he can be baptized. We really need to start finding people ready for baptism because the pressure is building everyday. 

 That's funny that Boston loved shooting the BB gun. Is that what he wants for Christmas now? 

I will have a meeting  with the President this week, but its only with the zone, not with the mission. Honestly I am not really looking forward to seeing him all that much, but the Lord knows what I am doing and how hard I am working so I have nothing to worry about. The girl we were teaching is super hard to find. We find a lot of people too, but they are like fools gold. When you teach them the first time, they want everything like when you first see the fools gold you think its really great, but when you start to look close, you realize it's not worth much. Just like our investigators, something changes. They don't want to keep the commandments. I don't know.  It's hard. 

 I helped move a member of the ward today. The guys in the ward are pretty funny. When you get them all together, you have a good time, The people had so much crap in this little apartment. Then they lived on the fourth level of the apartment block so that made it a little harder to move them. But we got it done . 

My apartment is actually pretty nice. I won't have all of the apartments like this one. Like the house in Los Vilos was not like this. So I got lucky with this apartment. Don't worry a lot about the houses here.  They all have bard wire or broken glass in the cement around the houses. It is just something they do here. Nothing has happened here that was dangerous, so don't worry. Other then that, not much has happened. Maybe I will have more to tell you next week. Have a good week and a Happy Anniversary!

Love,
