This week there was more rain on Sunday and half the ward showed up and when I mean half, it was 76 people and usually it's like 150. So that was bad. I guess the people at church are the ones with the testimonies that are a little stronger, but we can all work on something. I don't know, the last couple of weeks have been a little harder to teach and find people. With the new mission president, I like him a lot. He teaches a lot different from President Kahnlein. He teaches more like a seminary teacher, and there is a lot of participation. President Diaz had to do all the interviews too, but he leaves some stuff up to us and I like that. I don't feel like I am in the military anyone. It's more like being a missionary and I like that a lot.
That is fun that everyone is coming up for Peyton's blessing. Hopefully the guys do good in the 3-d archery shoot. That sounds fun. I don't have any muscle anymore because you don't really use your arms, so I don't think I could even pull a bow back right now.
I have just a few weeks left with my companion before he goes home. It will be interesting. I have never been with a companion who has ended the mission, so I am interested in how it will end. With the changes, I have been here quite a while, but with the new president and all, we will see what happens. If I had to stay in an area this long, I am glad it's in Con Con.
Sounds like that was fun to take the youth to the temple for baptisms for the dead. I can't believe all those kids are twelve years old now. At least now the ward has some deacons again. That will be good so they can pass the sacrament. I had to do that yesterday in our ward since there were just a few people at church. Our investigators....well, I don't know. We have a few that we are teaching, but I don't know if we are fulfilling all their needs or if they are just afraid to commit or what. Other then that, not much happened this week. Have a good week.
Love,
Elder Gillies
