Hello once again,
Well another week has come and gone, and it was
all right, kinda frustrating work wise though. I feel like last week was super
great, and we had lots of success, and this week that all just came crashing
down. We had 3 baptismal dates for next Sunday, one couple and one other man. but Saturday and Sunday the couple thought it
would be better to go and drink and smoke marijuana than go to church. Ah I'm so
frustrated with them because its not because its a hard addiction to get over
for them, they just do it cuz they want to and they like it. And the other guy disappeared and didn't go to church, wasn't there for our appointment, and don't
know what happened. So that's kinda frustrating. We had such high hopes and
great goals for this month, and I feel like we are failing. But I'm sometimes to
hard on myself because we really have worked so hard, and I feel like we have
done our part, God just likes to test our patience sometimes. Patience is one
of the things that I have asked the Lords help to help me develop it. And he
isn't just gonna give me it, he is gonna give opportunities to show it so that I can learn to have it. He is just so funny sometimes. Oh well, I know that this
week will be better.
Today to get over all the stress we went and hiked
the big mountain in the state of Mexico that we hiked a few months ago. So that
was awesome. It was actually Elder Rodriguezs comps bday and he is now really
good friends with Elder Guillen from all that we have done together so he
invited us to go for his bday. It was awesome, I love getting into the wild a
little bit and out of the city. this time it wasn't cloudy like the last time so
we got some pretty nice city views :) (not that a Mexico City view is that
nice. . )
Sounds like you guys had a pretty good week, the
auto show and adventures in Salt Lake sounded like fun. Time is sure flying. I
have a headache right now, and its hard for me to think of much more to say,
but everything is good, and I'm really learning to love the mission and every trial
that I pass through here.
Love you all! Have a great week,
Elder Elgan
