Sick Day

"Hey what is up everybody? This week was pretty bad actually haha. Um so the beginning of the week I actually think Monday we were teaching Laura and she got a phone call for a job offer in another town, where she would have to work monday-fridays up there and she would come back to Grand Bourg for the weekends. We were alright with that but it kind of sucked. We just basically gave her homework about smoking and reading. And we would call her every night and talk to her and see if she was doing her stuff and she was doing great. There was another baptism from the other branch Saturday night and so we planned out with her that we would take her to that. And she called us like an hour before the baptism and was like where is the church I am coming! She never came and she never answered her phone that night. We went to pick her for church and when we went I peaked through the fence and I saw her smoking...I was thinking "NOOOOOOO!" We clapped and she ran inside and we waited and she came out and peaked through the gate and she ran back inside. We called her name and nothing. Her niece came out and was like, "Laura is not her" we were like we just saw and she was like oh she is not here. So we just went to church with out her which sucked! There was 27 people in our sacrament meeting, and 2 minutes before it started the Branch President came up to us and was like hey can you guys speak on being "Witnesses of Christ in our lives?" So that was awesome I actually felt alright when I did it but that was a sad day. 

"Saturday I woke up at 6 and threw-up and then I threw-up about 10 more times so we didn't really work that day I just kind of rested until about 6 that night, so that was bad.

"We "found" some more families this week that we have visits with so we will see how that goes. We are back to looking for people! Sometimes I feel like I will never baptize somebody it is pretty rough. Yeah so this week was pretty lame but we are determined to find this week and I know that we will! We have to bring some to the church this week! But I have faith that The Lord will guide us to the people that are ready we just have to go through a bunch of people to find those people.

"One quote that we here all the time on the mission is from Elder Holland, " Missionary work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience!" I love that quote so much, I know that I am here to help people have salvation, I know that with prayer and faith it might not be easy but success will come! I know that I am going to really be able to help someone enter into the waters of baptism and I am just looking forward to that day, whether that is in 3 weeks or in 1 year I am ready! Love all you guys I miss you all and make sure never to take the family for granted because you are all awesome!"
