ok so yall dont have to wait anymore here is my weekly letter settle down now!
Ok so this week, well another week without baptising has gone by but we were really close to finally baptising mario and i know we are going to baptize soon because even with the dry spell we havent slown down yet! SO monday and tusday were normal days, just knocking doors talking to randome people in the street, and all that good jazz. Ok then wednesday... the same thing, almost. We got a call from the zone leaders, they told us that they were going to help us get things in line for the marriage of mario and aurea with a member that workes here in tuxtepec in the marriage department, and that is was possible that they could get married friday and mario baptized saturday and confirmed sunday. Ok so then wednesday night we went and talked to them adn presented the possibility to them of getting married friday and him baptized saturday. ANd they said they we up for doing it, and ok perfect and we told them we need them to be praying for miracles so that this could happen. Ok, and so we left them with that got home and me and my comp prayed that the miracle could happen for them to get baptized and married. ANd the next day we met up with the zone leaders and slipt, me with elder Gonzales and Elder Peña with Elder Hienholdt, and we headed off t some pueblos that were about and hour ad a half away form tuxtepec, almost 2 hours from our area. We had to go and get copies of thier birth certificates so they could have them for when they get married. Ok, and so we ot those and we went to the house of mario and Aurea and we informed them that everything was now in place for them to get married and that they only had to go and get some medical tests that the registration center requires for them to get married. ok, and so with that we let them know that everything after that would be ready for them to get married the next morning. Ayayaya, and then mario well he no longer wnated to get married, he became like a horse fighting the rope, he didnt want to budge. I dotn know what happened but he just didnt want to do it. We even offered to help pay for it, but i guess he just wasnt as ready as he appeared to be. So we told him willgive him the night to think about it and that in the morning we would return so see whats up. Ok and so we return the next morning to ee whats going on, and mario went to work and blah blah. And we havent seen him since. His poor wife feels pretty let down and we do as well. We arnt gonn let him know we felt dissappointed. Im a little bummed because we havent baptized for a long tme. But its just part of the mission.. bieng paciente. We are going to drop just about all of our investigators and start over, they arnt showingmuch desire and we need to help them realize thier need to prgress.
Im doing the best i can to just always be animated enthusiastic and happy, some days its a real challenge, but its the base way to make it through. Wortking as hard as i can the best i can and not letting myelf lose faith in the people or the area. ITs making me face alot more opposition, but without its i wouldnt know the difference of bitter and sweet and its all gonna pay off in the end. SO tis week we are just gonna keep goin at it. Ohh and by the way thos who were wondering , im not moving. Im gonna be here for another transfer. One of the sisters said that she had a dream that i was here for ten months... if that comes true that means it will be me last area, so we will see. BUt i cant get my spirits down, the people depend too much on us to do that. So another month and a half of working aay here. Please include me in your prayers, i cnat do it without you guys thats for sure! Thanks for all that you do do, it makes a world of a difference!
