Wow, you guys went to the Pit n Pole together. Dad I'm impressed that you got mom out there. Congratulations.
As for Kendra: I KNEW IT!
Not going to lie, this week was a hard week. It just seemed that whatever we tried to do, didn't work out.
All of our Italian investigators were busy this week, or didn't respond to our calls to try and meet up with them. We also had to pass Rosa to the sisters, because her boyfriend made it rather clear that he wanted them to teach her.
We did meet with the Marina bunch, and we did change the date of the baptism, to the 14th, to give them some more time to prepare. We also taught Tithing/Fast Offerings this week, and we retaught the Restoration. It went really well. Goodluck, probably the most prepared out of the group, bore his testimony of the Book of Mormon and how he knows it's true to us. So, at the least, things are going good there...relatively speaking.
We also met with our new converts, Issac Addo, and Issac Sarsah this week, and the lessons went rather well. We taught issac Addo about reading the scriptures, and praying always. He'll be leaving for Pordeone for the next couple weeks, so we decided to leave him with a blessing of safety in the prayer as we left.
We helped Issac Sarsah prepare for his Gospel Principles lesson, about the old church of Christ, and it went well. He left us with a really deep thought about how the word of God is free, but people "don't want. They want to pay heavy money, but the word of God is free!" It's interesting how this has reference to how people used to pay heavy money (gold, silver, copper, etc) for the word of God, but now, it's almost completely free, but people don't want it anymore, or at least they don't recognize that they want it.
But besides that, this week, work wise just went no-where. It was a rather hard week, no matter how you roll the dice, and it just drained us. Luckily, we have regrouped, reorganized, and refocused on our work, and we're praying with all our combined faith that things will work out for us this week. I have a great feeling that they will, we just need to put our faith in the Lord.
So, in total, a taxing week, rounded off with revitalization of spirits through some prayer and faith. At least we have the Marina Bunch, who are doing good.
So, now I can just focus on home, since you got my email about work. Here we go.
Mom: Back to Kendra and Marcus: I kinda had a feeling that this would happen, and I'm honestly glad that Kendra is letting Marcus make the choice for himself. However, I would like to say that there will be challenges if they stay part member family. I've seen my fair share of that in my mission.
I'm glad that my room is clean...but it looks totally different than I remember it. That was not what I was expecting. Still, I'm glad it's cleaner. Now you just have to vacuum.
Good luck with the piano recital, and yes, let me know where Sam is going! I'm guessing Spanish speaking some where.
Nails where we drive over? Well, that landscaper was an idiot. Gravel was a much better choice mother, probably in price overall. I know nails are so much cheaper, but still...gravel looks better (I got the joke, just so you know).
Okay, there we go. I'm tired after this week, and I just need to unwind. As you can read, it's been a long week, "always, ain't that right" (I GOT MY RANDOM SONG REFERENCE IN! Matchbox 20, Long Day).
Okay, well, talk to ya'll next week..
Much love,
NaNa
