So it sounds like Grandpa is not doing very well. That is not good. That sounds like him saying he will go home instead of go into the nursing home, but hopefully it will all work out. I got my debit card this week, but what do I do with my old one now? Is it like trash or what? And yes, the Vina mission is tough, but I am pretty sure that is why I got sent here because I don't know if I would have learned the things I have in another mission, so it's all good. This week was a whirlwind. First, we didn't have water in the apartment for two days because the owners hadn't been paying for it, so they turned it off so the owners would pay. We had jugs of water, but we couldn't shower and that was terrible. It's back on now, and it's all good this week.
With our investigators with their baptism was rough on Saturday. We were going to fill the font after lunch for Angelica, but then we get a call during lunch that she had to leave for Santiago because her nephew was in the hospital, who took a turn for the worse, so hopefully her family won't influence her to do anything bad so she can be baptized this week. With Carlos and Jessenia, they have fell off a little bit. Jessenia has the date and everything, but she is short of a interview but now that she is with Carlos again, she doesn't want to be baptized right now. She has gotten a little cold because of the law of chastity, so that really was a bummer because now because of one commandment, she is doubting a lot of things. If we can get to Carlos and get him converted, she will come back, but it was just like a complete turn around. It is dumb. Satan plays super dirty. I don't know. We fast every week and pray, doing everything we can for them, but now it's like they aren't answering our calls as much and there is like a wall between us now that wasn't there before. If we bring up anything, she just gets mad. Then we were teaching her and her kid fell and cracked his lip and wouldn't stop crying, so that didn't help. They are like should we take him to the hospital. I am thinking why the heck would you do that when he has a cracked lip? They always say the americans are a little cold I can see it a little, but I don't know. I would not call the hospital for that. Your kid would never toughen up if you always do that.
That is nuts the girls won state champion in basketball. That is great. I have one question about 3 Nephi 16:1-4 when Jesus says he has other sheep. It just means different continents not different worlds in this part, right? When my companion explains it, it's like this is for the people not of this world, but when I read it, I don't get that. So what do you think Dad? Have a good week.
Love,
