Dear Family,
Haha, well, I’m glad everyone is doing well back in the good ol Cedar City. I’m doing ok, too. Still here in Quito, in Conocoto, with Elder Martinez. So that’s ok. Thanks for all of the new news and stuff. Shawn just barely left, then, huh. Well, its better now than have to keep waiting, like mom said. I’m sure everything will be just fine. He just has to ponerse pilas and he´ll be alright. ( That means put himself batteries, or think quick and be sharp.) Same with the graduation. Crazy that Kyle is now graduated. He was behind me two years, right? Yeah, that’s nuts for me. We´re all gettin older, and it kinda freaks me out. Megan should be graduating college pretty soon too, no? Wow.
Anyway. Nothing else here is new, really. We are still strugglin to find people. Not sure why its so hard, but nobody wants to listen. We almost had another worthless week, but it turned out ok in the end. I was happy. I’ll fill in some of that later. But yeah, it’s ok. I still feel like I’m not putting my all. I can’t force myself to talk to people about that. It’s something I always pray for. Just the street contacting. And I know that that is the reason that we are down right now. But we´re gonna do it. I just gotta. Pray for that, yeah? That Jace will just grow some and talk to the people. That would help.
Hmmm, what else. They tell me I’m gonna be District Leader soon. Kinda scary, but the same thing with the being Comp Mayor. You just gotta take it, and it comes and passes. All good. I’m not positive, and if no, yeah, its fine. I’m not here to rise up, just work. It would be cool to have a phone, though. Way easier to talk and call than the stupid freakin cabinas.
Haha, alright, to some stories. Freak. Get ready.
Ok, we had a family, their name is Vargas, yeah? The familia Vargas. We have been teaching forever. Oh wow. We also have been trying to get them married for a freakin month so that they can get baptized, but its just not happenin. Satan is workin hardcore. Every time we go to the civil registry, there is another problem. So there’s that. But, we go this last week, finally, to put in the papers for them to do it. Everything was fine and dandy, and she got in there. But. . . she leaves, and says, "It didn’t process. Lets go." .. . . . .". . .wait, wait. . Wait, Hermana, no wait!" But yeah, she leaves. We are walkin, and she tells us that she has to talk to her hubby about some personal stuff. Freak.
So we go 2 nights ago, and just ask what’s up. We find out, yeah, here it goes, that they are half brother and sister. Haha, related! It’s a crazy long story, but the thing is, they can’t get married or baptized yet until we find out what they can do. We´ll see. Brother and sister. That’s my freakin life. And now we don’t have anyone. Sucks.
Well, we did find a big ol family yesterday, but they’re not married, and they got porn plastered all over the walls, so that’s not good, but they listened and I think that we can really help them to change and be better and happier. We´ll just have to see what happens.
That’s my week. Nothing else new is happening. Just kinda goin week by week, day by day. Time is flying so fast now. Like, ridiculously fast. I can barely believe it. I am creepin up on one year. Almost ten months. At the end of the next change, I will basically be there. And they say the last year is the fastest of them all. We´ll see. I love you guys and miss you a lot, and I’m grateful for everything that you do for me. I know that what I’m doing is real, and that the people here are changing. Just gotta keep pluggin away, and the blessings will come. Bueno, hasta la proxima semana. Suerte con toda, ¿ja?
Love,
Elder Jace Reber
