Oh Good Grief....

 

Hey there world! Sorry i´m sending this email off so late. hopefully no one got too worried. the reason i´m sending it off so late is because my companion elder Gross was getting a little sick yesterday. today he got worse so we went to the hospital and it turns out that whatever he´s got there isnt enough of the disease to really see what was going on. so we are going to have to go back the next week to see what is going on. It will be quite an advendture.

So this week has been pretty dang crazy. we´ve been making about ten thousand plans to get the ward more involved with missionary work. right now we are planning a way huge activity that will have all the leadership of the ward including the stake presidency, and give a training about how we want the ward to start including Preach my Gospel within their own home daily study of the scriptures. Elder M. Russel ballard made a statement this april that he wants all members to read PMG with the book of mormon and pass at least  one reference to the missionaries at least once every three months. we are working to get these patterns going in the ward.

We are also working to get our miracle man Gelaino into the waters of baptism. if everything goes well he should be baptised this saturday. we have a couple other people that we are working with too but its all just going pretty normal.

but yea  things are just kinda going in the mission. sometimes i feel like i´m doing the samething everyday . i´m exausted everday from walking in the hot sun all day. i´m tired from reasoning with people about why the church is true. i´m tired of having drunks run us down in the street and ask to be blessed and taken from their state of current sin. but everyday I get home and put my head on my pillow for some odd reason i´m happy that I was able to serve the lord that day. missionary work is the weirdest thing. cause its hard but its totally worth it. i hope you all know that i´m happy to be a missionary. theres no other place i´d rather be.

but hey i think i need to get going. i´ll talk to you guys next week. buhbye now!
