This month has been a rough one. not one baptism!!! everybody has their problems that prevent them from baptism. but i know that i have been obedient and done all i could to serve and teach others. i have testified of my christ, and am learning patience. ... i thought i was a patient person, but its becoming clear to me i am not. was i a patient person before the mission? because i always thought i was a down to earth patient, loving, person. My reputation on the mission is a little different hahahahahaha. What was i like before? that is a real question that i would like an answer to fyi. :)
I was attacked by a chicken while i was giving a prayer yesterday. so that was cool. the couple only speaks quechua, so they didnt understand much, but we are going to bring someone who speaks quechua. Also our investigator came to church, Veder!!! he is 14 and sings a plays guitar, he played in the talent show on friday. yesteday we had a lesson and he showed up 2 hours early to play the piano in the church. he doesnt play by the way, he decided he wanted to learn, and sat down, and learned a third of the song a poor wayfairing man of grief!!!! incredible. i lack patience to do that. after about 30 seconds, i am done. but i would like to learn one day.
What else, i sang his hands for the talent show, so that was fun. most latinos are tone deaf, so its not as scary to sing infront of them. hahaha. Um... kassie is home from what i know, she had health problems and had to go home. Tiff gets home in january i thing. crazy. time sure goes by quick. I want some pictures of london, and of my nefew bastian!!!! send pictures, and i{ll try to send some recent pictures next week, the ones i sent werent exactly recent, or ill wait until after i come back from machu piccu. .. anyway, love you all. the mission rocks. best thing i have ever done.
