WE LACK 200 PEOPLE ON THE REGISTROS TO HAVE A STAKE. SO WE ARE CLOSE.

hey mom

well, not much to report as usual. actually i guess there is. its not the first time i heard that about being a spy though. with v, we havent been able to teach her since. we are still going on with problems on finding the parents. but she still knows its true. m hasnt read yet. i think we are going to drop her either way. i dont think she is interested. but we will try to get a fecha with her before we drop her to see what her reaction is. here in bolivar, we are an hour from olavarria a bigger city. we are part of a district. still not a stake yet. so we have about 30 people going to church. and the church is a house we are renting out. the baptismal font is actually a plastic tarp pool thingy. as of right now, we lack 200 people on the registros to have a stake. so we are close. babies being blessed as well as baptisms will help us get to our goal of a stake! we are making an effort to find families but today in the world, satan is attacking the family as a whole. its hard to find a family who is well off in the fact that there arent any big problems between its members. but we know that they are out there. here in bolivar, its just me and my comp. there might be another companionship coming here next transfer. but i dont know. so we also have a big problem here in bolivar. the mission leader, hermano d, might go inactive. he has had problems with the first and second counselors since he has been the misison leader. they are not supporting him, in fact, they have told him to stop passing by the less active members and the sick members. also, apparently from the branch presidency, they are trying to weed out the strong members from the weak. and if the less active members dont come back when invited to do so, they wont be accepted when they try to come back later. we really have a problem here and we need to get to the bottom of it fast. so tomorrow we are going to go by one of the counselors and see what is up. try to see his side too. well, that is about all i have for you mom. i love you and take care!
