We officially hit the spring season... and the cold season as well. I can..
sincerely say I'm extremely grateful for the rain coat you bought me mom.
The work here is slow... and has been a little bit frustrating at moments, but It is coming along. Sometimes we get back to the house a little sad ( especially after a lesson were the family's don't seem to want anything) Its a sad trend to see that for the first couple visits the family's are happy to see us, but after a little time its like they decide that were requiring to much of them, and make excuses.   I can just hear the word of Elder Holland in this past confer... 

So here we have the burden of those called to bear the messianic message. In addition to teaching, encouraging, and cheering people on (that is the pleasant part of discipleship), from time to time these same messengers are called upon to worry, to warn, and sometimes just to weep (that is the painful part of discipleship).

I can really feel that last part strongly during the times after lessons with people like that. Ok so there is time like that BUUUUTTT the times were you teach people who want to hear and want to keep invitations make it ALL WORTH IT. I know that maybe I wont be the missionary that brings them to the waters of baptism, but It doesn't matter... The point is that they get there...  ( there is like 3 family that live right next to our house that are going to get baptized... maybe not while I'm her but I'm confident that they'll get there in the end)

Its the whole truth and nothing but the truth, Doesn't always sound pretty but its better than the alternative.

so the other thing is that there focusing hard and I mean hard on the rules... Like exact obedience... to the T ( like I had to repent a little for talking more than 40 min). And one of the things that they brought up is that we cant take photos wile proselytizing... so I´ll have to look harder for opportunities to take photo, when we´re not our proselyting...
