Thanks for the encouraging words. I am just waiting for the day where I see the light in what I am doing. I know it will bless the lives but I don`t understand why I can`t see it. It`s been another hard week. I am really trying not to get discouraged but it`s so easy. We were supposed to have a basptism and didn`t. Which was probably good because she wasn`t quite ready but I think we`ll have one this Saturday but I`m not quite sure partly because I don`t understand. And I have been sick for the last 3 days. It was bad. I`m not sure what I had. My companion thought it was a beetle or some bug but the mission nurse just thinks it`s a virus. She said she thinks she may have had the same thing. So I don't know but I had a fever and the chills and stomach pains and diaherra (probably too much info but its ture. So sorry :) But I know someone will get a kick out of it). So needless to say, the last few days haven`t been very fun. And I feel bad for my companion because she couldn`t leave and we have appointments and everything. But there wasn`t a whole I could do about it. I was just laying in bed. I still don`t feel 100% but a little better. But I did get another blessing. This time one of health. And it was really good. I think the Lord was chastising me a little though. Which was probably something I needed. The Elder said to have faith in the Lord and know that Christ is walking with me. I definitely haven`t had the faith like I need to have. I think part of my problem is that I don`t entirely know how to have faith in Him right now. I don`t think I`ve ever had a problem with this before now. I know the Lord is always with me but here it`s different. The Elder also said that people are waiting for me. Oh, that one gets me everytime. I guess everytime I think about going home I should think of that. I guess sometimes I just wish it wasn`t so hard. But I guess if it wasn`t I won't appreciate it. And oh man, I haven`t cried so many times in my entire life as I have in the few weeks I have been here. My companion is pretty good about it but sometimes I know she doesn't quite understand what I am going through. But it`s all good. I guess I cry to the Lord. Anyways, this won`t be a bad letter, I promise. I have decided that I need to stop fighting the Lord. I realized I am doing it a little too much. When he tries to help me, I just think about quitting. And that shouldn`t be one my mind. Sometimes the only thing that keeps me here is that everyone would be so disappointed in me if I came home. But this week, I have decided to work my heart out and talk to everyone I can. I don't know how I am going to do it but somehow I am. And I am going to have faith in the Lord. I want this to be the best time I`ll have and I don`t want it to drag on. And I want to enjoy it. And I need to have happiness and joy as I am here. That`s something my companion is trying to help me with and I can tell she gets discouraged when I don`t. So again, that`s another one of my many goals this week. I am just really ready to have a good week. Oh man. Sorry. I`ll stop. I really need to have a better attitude and be encouraging. Another goal. Anyways, ealier this week, we did set a baptismal date with one of our investigators. The 17 of Sept. So now we have to help him get prepared. And with him, we have our work cut out. He did come to church though yesterday. He was late and came after sacrament and left after sacrament mtg but he came. So that was really good. He lives above us with his family. His sons are members, one is active and the other is off and on. He wife is a member but isn`t active but she was the one that wanted us to teach him. And he likes me because he wants to learn English. He knows a little but not a lot. And half the time I can`t understand him because his accent is so strong. But it`s good. He`s just trying to make me feel at home. And his wife got after him. He has to speak to me in Spanish until I learn it better and than I can teach him some things in English. So I guess I need to learn. But they are a really nice family. We also taught an atheist. I`m glad I didn't understand a lot. He was rude and not the nicest about it. He laughed a lot when Hna Chavez tried to explain things to him but at least he was nice at the end as we each bore out testimonies. I`m not sure if we will be going back. We are also teaching a family and they are awesome. But we have a hard time getting them all together. The dad is always working. Haha surprise surprise. But it`s fine. We`ve only taught him once and the others 3 or 4 times. The childs are all super smart and really nice. The mom I think has her doubts about it. We taught about the Plan of Salvation and she had a lot of questions. Which is understandable. It's a lot of new things. She really just needs to read the Book of Mormon and pray. They have their individual prayers morning and night. So that`s good. And they have family prayer most nights. So that`s a good thing too. It`s all a start. They all said if they found it was true they would follow the example of Christ but we didn`t set a date with them yet. We have a few others but these are the main families or people this week. And we only really had 3 days this week. I will definitely keep you updated! I love you all and thank you as always for your prayers. And mom and dad, can you fast for me this Sunday please? I think I need the extra strength that comes from it. I would greatly appreciate it. And would you pay the Bishop $16? I forgot to pay some tithing before I left. Horrible I know but please and thank you :) And I hope everything is okay with the NY Fronks and everyone else. Again, I love you all and you`re all awesome. Thanks for reading this. And for the letters. I don`t know if everyone knows but I can get dear elders down here. LOVE YOU!!!!
