your trip sounds great. i think i want to go camping my first night after my mission. today we went to syulita, my favorite beach. we played socar and unlimate frisbee. its realy pretty. the waves were small this time but thats okay becaus we didnt go surfing. a good p day gets me excited to work the rest of the week. i cant beleive that sam is swimming so well. i wish that i had started training seriously when i was younger. or maybee the trick is hes just big for his age.
so if someoe is on the edge of getting baptised, what can we do to to help them tip the scale to get baptised? the work is going well. i contacted this guy that said he was going to get baptised in utah when he lived there but things kept comming up. and we went to visit him like 5 times and we couldnt find him. we were walking near his house friday and i thought why not well see if hes home one more time. he was home and he told us that he wants us to start planning his baptism. the only thin is that his wife is out of town and they have to get married before he gets baptised. i have worked hard here and we havnt had much succes, then all of a sudden, things keep falling into our laps. w went to a peuplito thats realy far from our house but still in our area, and there is only one member that lives there. he has a killer testimony and want to share the gospel with the whole town. hes very humble and sincere and i realy like him. he dosnt have a clue how to be a missionary but he realy wants to be one. from the weak and the simple great things are brought to pass. and he helped us find this less active lady that got baptised 8 days after she meet the missionaries. and her grand daughter came to church with her. we are going to have succes this change.
a seventy came a while ago and said that in door aproches, the longer we are on their door the more time they have to think of exccusses. he said that when he knocked and people said "who is it" he shouted "with permission" and walked into their house. he was kidding but we just say our names and that we would like to visit with them and talk about christ. then after we get to know them and try to win their confidence. in contacts in the street, i try to talk to them a little more, maybee find a need and promise the the gospel is what they need. but when it comes down to it, if they are hard hearted or not prepared right now they will be rude and if they are more prepared or more humble thell give us their adress.
oh i forgot to tell you my scripture size. i dont know it. they are taller then dads if in doubt to big is better thento small.
tell dad i think im getting cavities. i might be imagining it, but my molars are starting to ach and im not sure if i sould wait or try to see a dentist. let me know hwat you think. well i love you. im excited to hear your missoinary experience.
