Stuck in the Desert

Hey Everyone!

So i added some pictures on, so you can see a little bit more about the life here in the desert. Oh so we had transfers today, but still nothing, I am gonna stay with my companion again, in the same area haha i was joking around saying i wanted to kill myself already becuase its 4 transfers already together in the same place, but its all good, we have a baptism coming up in about two weeks. so thats something to look forward to.

So everything has been going alright here. We are still looking for more people to teach. Right now we got about two or three solid people. One is Marcelo, we finally got to visit him again just last night, and we taught the Word of Wisdom, which was tough for him becuase he used to drink alot and he even knows its bad but its just a habit that he cant stop, but it went well and we read some scriptures and just told him not to give up, just keep going. we felt so bad. I mean i wish we could just like let him know its all going to work out even though its hard, we read Alma 32:41-43. that was a good scripture, it helped alot, just talks about the end, all our hard work and patience and long suffering with all be worth even though he couldnt see it now. One thing i was thinking when we were there was that i never coulda seen myself reading the scriptures every day and doing this stuff every day. i never thought it was posible, but now i look at it and its just crazy, I mean we can all do it. oh but yeah this other investigator told us a pretty cool story of how he started meeting with the missionaries.

He told us this one Sunday he was just feeling depressed and so he went out for a walk and just kept walking and walking not going anywhere in particular, then he got to the Church Building after a while and thought, you know what? i am just going to go in, so he walked into the church and sat down in the back and sacrament had already started and then he was just sitting there all dirty and tired with regular clothes on. Afterwards the missionaries went up and started talking to him when sacrament was done. When i heard that i was wow! i sure wish that would have happened when i was here haha. It's a pretty cool story though just how he was led there that one day and now, pssh he is pretty much like a member, he knows a ton, reads the scriptures everyday prays and knows its true and everything, but he can't get baptized becuase he has to get divorced first and then marry again with the woman he iss living with now. I think thats kind of lame because he already knows everything and wants to get baptized but he can't because of his marital status.

But anyway, i am going to send this email and upload some more pictures in another one.

Love you, Sean
