Email April 9 2012

To Dad: Well our week was okay. It seems like we just don’t have the people to go see and the things to do like we used to... We have been tracting a lot and trying to find new people to teach because we are down to just a couple. It seemed like EVERYBODY was canceling or just not showing up. I guess that’s what it’s always been like but it just drives me crazy because my companion had the idea that none of our appointments would go through and that we would ALWAYS have something to do. But in reality people are flakey and sometimes at the end of the day you don’t feel like you got a lot done. It’s been crazy because we have only been teaching a few lessons a week. Its dropped a ton and I’m not sure why. Our numbers were just sooo low and they probably will be this week too because its spring break here.
Other than my companion thinking that we suck we are doing pretty good. He is progressing and yes he is much more obedient. We have some good times and had a good Easter though. There really isn’t much to tell for this week because everything but a couple of our lessons fell through. We found one lady that seemed a little interested while tracting and we are going back this week to see what she thought about the Book of Mormon. On Saturday we went to a ward party where there was food and an Easter egg hunt around the church. After that I had a meeting for the district leaders so I went to that and got back around 5 and we tried to see some people. Sunday for Easter we went to a less actives in the other missionaries area and talked with him for a bit, then went to dinner at a less active in our area and had a good time with them, then went to a members house that night and played games with their 4 kids for a while. It was a pretty good Easter. It was definitely different on my mission. Felt like it wasn’t even a Holiday just another day. This next week we are hoping to have a somewhat good week as long as we can find the people who are going to be home for Spring Break. We are also going to start meeting with our investigator M again. He has just been too busy to meet with us with work but he calls whenever he gets the chance and he has been reading the Book of Mormon and wants to move his Baptism date forward so he can get baptized sooner!! We should be meeting with him this week a couple times. I’m really hoping. Well I love you tons dad and hope you have a great week!
To Mom: I’m doing pretty good. Tired and frustrated from lack of work right now but doing okay. I was sick again this last week on Tuesday. I think it was food poisoning and I wasn’t AS sick as last time but I was sure throwing up a bit still. It was no fun. I was good the next day though. My companion is doing pretty good he just thinks that we are never doing anything even though we are it’s just that people keep canceling so we have to try and find other things to do. He always feels like we should be out working like during our lunch hour haha After he finishes and we still have 40 min for lunch he’s like well ready to get going? He still hasn’t grasped that we get an hour for lunch but he will.
I’m sooooooooooooooo happy that Darien got his call!!! I’ve been waiting to hear where he got it to! So yeah I hope you have an awesome week! I love you and miss you! Hope you had an awesome Easter!
