Hey family,
this was a pretty good week, but also kindof a bummer. We have
been working harder than i´ve ever worked, but still not quite seeing
the results. We couldnt quite make our goal of lessons with member for
the week, and pretty much none of our investigators showed up to
church. so that is always rough... pero seguimos luchando... My comp is
awesome though, he doesnt speak english, so I havent spoken english in a
long time, which is weird to think about. I also found out that its
kinda hard to teach english to someone that seriously doesnt know it...
but its cool, my spanish is getting better. my brain is all confused
though, sometimes it has english relapses and stuff, but thats what
happens when you quit cold turkey like that...
anyways this week, we found a few good people, but Im stilll not
sure if they are going to progress or not but thats where the faith
comes in. We were teaching an old lady named amalia and she got sick and
couldnt talk to us anymore, but we passed by and her daughter came out
and told us that we should stop passing by for a while, so that was a
bummer, but then we started talking to her, and at first she was just
trying to get rid of us but then she opened up, turns out that she had
been into drugs and all that and her life was just in the pits, it got
to the point where she tried to kill herself, but she failed, and
realized that she wanted to change. she went to a few churches to see
if it was god that she was missing, but she didnt really like any of
them. so as she listened to us she got really excited about coming to
church, but then sunday she didnt show, so we went to look for her and
turns out she is sick now too... also Blanca our other investigator got
sick, and yeah, we had such good plans to get like 7 people to church,
but Satan is workin hard... so yeah we had 1 in church which is good but
its not 7... ouch...
Its also nuts how many inactives there are in this ward. we are starting to work with them too.
anyways, I am super excited for general conference this weekend! I
hope you guys will just nut up and take one weekend out of your busy
lives to hear the prophets and apostles speak. actually listen. I know
its pretty hypocritical because i never realized how awesome conference
is. but also take notes.
thats all the time i have, i love you all and hope you have a good week!
i hope to have awesome stories next week for you!
pray for the people of ituzaingo!
also pray always. as a family!
Love Elder Skousen
