Hey everyone.  Well, not only another week has passed but another change.  Crazy how time flies.  And it looks like I¨m going to kill my companion (he is going  home and I will be his last companion).  So that probably means I will be here for a while.  Pretty cool!

So this week was pretty good for what we did.  My companion was sick for a couple of days so we were in the room which kind of sucked... But we got through it.  This week we have been talking with some less actives that are pretty cool.  They haven´t been to church for a while and so we made a deal with them that it they came to church I would teach them English.  So this past week it sounded like they were really going to come to church, but they didn´t which was kind of disapointing... So I didn´t teach them this week.  Hopefully they will be able to come to church this week.  We are going to play soccer with some of them today so that should be good.

We have also been working with some other less actives that are very interesting.  The mom has some bitter feelings toward the bishop (she is also a little crazy) so she doesn´t want to come to church for that reason.  Nor did she want to talk to us for the longest time.  But slowly by slowly we gained her confidence and she came to church this Sunday with her family!  That was pretty cool.

There is also an investigator that we are now teaching that is friends with one of our old investigators.  We also invited them to come play soccer with us and sometimes we will talk about the soccer world with them, and with that we have also gained their confidence.  They said they would come to church but didn´t.  I don´t know how many times that has happened here.

We have also been looking for some other people we have been teaching and I know that they are in their house because I can hear them, but they don´t open the door.  Sometimes I don´t get the people here.  Sometimes there is very little logic.

This past month we have been working with our mission leader because as of now he is inactive.  We had a family night with them on Saturday and we didn´t plan on talking about why they weren´t coming to church, but his wife just went of for about 30 minutes straight on why they aren´t going.  And to me they are really dumb reasons.  Again, sometimes I don´t see the logic here...  But I still can´t find one good reason why someone shouldn´t go to church.  There is no good reason.

So that has been my crazy week.  Hope you all had a good week and will have a good one as well.   Love you all!  Thanks for all the support!  I´ll be home for Christmas!  Oh wait...
