Dear Mom and Dad,
Hey, yeah, I’m doing well, as usual. The sickness did go away, and I am feeling a ton better. Had some good stuff go on, and I’m still happy. Went to Esmeraldas a bunch of times this week, we haven’t found anyone, there were changes today and I’m just with the other Elder who was on the other side of the river. So that’s good. Other than that, this week was pretty boring. Everyone with a baptismal date has fallen through, and the mission is in a little bit of lockdown with some new rules because the numbers have dropped drastically and there is a ton of disobedience. I know that it’s for the best, though. We all knew we weren’t doing enough, and God has called us out. It’s cool to see President Ghent step up and throw down some rules on us and that makes me happy. We´ll see.
I can’t remember honestly anything that has happened this week. At all. It has all just kinda passed like a blur. Nothing about the lessons or anything. We have a lot of work to do this week. A ton. We really gotta start finding people again and putting baptismal dates with them so that they can progress and have the things that God wants them to have. That’s all. Thanks for all of the news and everything that you told me. It helps me to keep going. Just filled up 13 months a couple days ago or yesterday, can’t remember, to be honest, but its just flying. It’s crazy. But its fun. I love you guys a lot, and am super grateful for all of the sacrifices that you make for me every day. Keep praying and doing the small things. If you’re still not doing it, start. Read the Book of Mormon every day, pray, and go to church, always. Do service, fast, all of it. It’s the way to keep a testimony and serve strong. Please? Well, I’ll talk to you next week. Hopefully something a little more exciting will have occurred. If not, oh well, haha.
Love,
Elder Jace Reber
