Dear Mom and Dad,
Hey, it sounds like you are all just having the time of the year. That’s good to know. This week, well, we didn’t do so hot, haha. I think I might be destroying this sector, and President is gonna destroy me pretty soon I would imagine. We just haven’t had too much success here, and I think we gotta make some changes, and we gotta make them fast. We´ll see how it goes.
Hmmm, the only interesting thing. Well, we went to a wedding of two of our investigators. It was actually really super cool. I couldn’t stop smiling during it. We were way excited, because they were gonna get baptized this next week, but yesterday, didn’t come to church, and now are doubting a ton. Freak. As of now, we have almost nobody. Really, almost nobody. I don’t know what we are doing wrong, but we gotta do something. But the wedding was really cool. We went to a party with them after, and they freakin had alcohol and they drank it. I think it’s just a tradition, well, probably a big one outside of Utah, too, but all good. They gave us some chicken foot soup, finally! I’ve been waiting for that one. You just kinda eat the skin off the foot. It actually isn’t bad. Doesn’t really have flavor, so maybe that’s why. We played a couple of games, and then left. That was fun.
Haha, Saturday basically was the only good day. We did another Plaza Presentation, where all the missionaries go somewhere and then contact everyone. Freak, one guy sellin newspapers comes up and slams us, and then just leaves. Tells us that we suck, and that what we are doing is \evil. Thanks, buddy. Go off on your crazy way, and we´ll see how it goes at Judgement day. And, wouldn’t you know it, another one. I was alone with this guy, so it was a lot better. He told me that we are false, about false prophets, and about how only the Bible is good, and where does it say in the Bible that we got authority from God. Oh, man, I wanted to destroy this guy. It’s so easy with the Catholics. I can just win anyone, but my comp elbowed me, and I simmered down.
Haha, last, and best, some nuns pass by, and my comp just says “Good Afternoon. Have a good day.” And one turns and says, "Good afternoon, convincing the idiots, eh?" and just keeps walking. Haha, what? Are you serious? Excellent. Nuns. Who woulda thought?
We had a baptism that night too, and it very well could be the only one for the rest of this month or for the entire month of March. I hope not, but its lookin like a possibility. Pray for us. We really need some new ideas and some help. People here like to contend a lot more than in Santo Domingo.
Last night, we contacted some dude in a store. We told him about our message, and he called us out. To the max. Told us that we were confusing the people here and preaching false doctrine. We basically pulled a ton of scriptures, and he just kept doing loops. The freakin testiguos, they don’t know what they’re saying. Its ridiculous. We told him that we wanted to come back, and if he had the truth, we wanted to hear it. He agreed, but he wanted to put the date for a week from yesterday. Haha, he was afraid! But I really think we can help him. It’s very clear. All we need to do is show how the Bible was changed, and then that´ll be done. I dunno.
Anyway, thanks for all the support. Really, pray, and hope the best for your son. He doesn’t wanna be "that" missionary who doesn’t know what he’s doing or how to do it better. Well, love you guys and miss you a lot, and have a good week.
Love,
Jace
