HE WANTS TO TAKE OFF HIS BACKPACK OF BURDENS.

hey mom!

wow, so much going on back home. glad to hear everyone is busy! this weeek was a long one. i was sick all tuesday and wednesday, and part of thursday. but hey, not gonna complain. as for all the investigators we found with the zone leaders, none of them are solid. but o well, with finding a lot of people, we have to weed out the shaft, i think is the word. its "yugo" in spanish. l.p. is amazing. he wants to take off his backpack of burdens or so he says. i have a feeling that he will open the door up for the rest of his family. he never had thought about getting married but his wife always wanted to. so i think that we may be able to get him and his wife baptized within these next few weeks. but it will take some work. we had mesa redonda this weeek with the zone leaders. the zone leaders had just gotten back from bahia and from a meeting with alll the other zone leaders and with president detlefsen. they talked about being to conformed as missionaries and not nearly as focused as we should be. we shouldnt think we have limits. if we put limits, we stop working as hard. they told us that if we are not baptizing each week we are doing something wrong. so it looks like i got even more work to do in my companionship as well as help out the other companionship in my district. although the other companionship is going back and forth from azul, and bolivar. we finallly had our first branch council meeting of the year. its seems like we can start to get working with the leaders we have but it will take some time to teach them how to work with the missionaries. but i know if we do our part and stay worthy, it will work out. we talked in district meeting about obedience. it is the first law of heaven. and if we cant even obey the first law of heaven, how can we expect ourselves to obey all the other laws that follow as well? so i guess it was a good week. stilll trying to figure out how to be a good leader and all, but i think i can handle it jaja. well mom, i love you! next weeek i will try to send some fotos. i didnt want to get my memory card wet in the rain today. love you!!!
