Well ya you got the gist of the email. The translator in google
doesn´t do it correctly. So send me the email and I will translate it
and type it up and send it to you. After that just do a copy and paste
deal, cool? Pretty much from what I remember is where it says kicked,
he wanted to say I am sure you miss him a lot. I will have to reread it
out loud to you when I get home or something so you understand every
word. Ha the man thinks I am going to be an apostle or something, not
true. Yes it is the same Rafa that gave me chicken feet.
So this last week we had everything set for José to get baptized.
He had stopped smoking for two days in a row and then fell and told us
that he was done with the church. We had the Zone Leaders come out to
interview him and that´s when everything got messed up. Elder Adams and
I felt so awful because we had literally put all of our heart into
helping him and did everything possible and he just didn´t show up to
his interview. Then the rest of the day he failed us and now we are
just done. He called me last night and told me that he still wants to
talk to us and I told him when you stop smoking come to church or call
us. He has done this to us three times now and never changes so we can
no longer waste time with him. So that was kinda sad but we found three
new people the next day so the Lord blessed us. They are Seven Day
Adventists so they are pretty hard headed about their beliefs. The good
thing is that they believe in the bible and can´t deny things like
prophets, authority and the laying on of hands. They just think that
our church has studied the bible and think about it too much and that´s
why we practice those ordinances. They also will not accept The Book of
Mormon yet, so we are still in the process. They listened to the
missionaries a long time ago so they already had The Book of Mormon in
their home. The good thing is that they really believe in The Lord so I
know they will get converted one day, soon I hope. I asked them how
they knew that their church is true and they couldn´t answer me. The
mom gave me two long stories and never answered my question and the
husband just laughed and said we just accept the church I guess. Their
names are Antonio and Pepi and the daughter named Raquel. So that is
them and they can only meet on Sundays so that is kind of rubbish. We
finally got to sit down seriously with the family that has three kids
not baptized and talked about what we I guess hope for them. Elder
Estrada and I taught them on splits and we talked about eternal families
and it was a great lesson. We talked about going to the temple and all
of that. The two girls want to go to church and they love going to
church but the parents are holding them back! How sad! I hope they
change because the parents would be like responsible for their kids
salvation! I love the little girls they liked me and Elder Estrada. So
that is what is happening right now in Jaén. It has poured buckets of
rain all day everyday this week. We get soaked every single day! Oh so
today we are going to the mission home!! YES! We have a follow up
training meeting.
Blanca is doing great, she just got released from one of her
callings and now is the first or second counselor in the relief society,
the poor thing! But she loves the callings and teaching, she is
incredible.
Oh so I guess I should tell you that I will most likely be leaving
on the 6th of December. I am still here in Jaén for 3 more weeks.
There wasn´t big moves happening because 21 missionaries leave on that
day. So I am guessing that I will be moving that day and President kind
of told me with out telling me. We will see! So if you are sending
stuff do it now and soon to Jaén because I may not be here when the 6th
of December comes around.
So for Christmas Jude, I really don´t care.
You know that I will just want clothes, phone and all that when I get
home. So maybe some creamy JIFFY peanut butter and whatever you all
decide. I really am doing good and don´t need anything special that I
can think of.
I hope I have answered all of your questions! I love you mom
and dad so much. You both are the best! What that guy said is true and
even more! You are the best parents in the world and I love you all
more than you think.
