Well this week was kind of frustrating on the missionary
front. We taught lots of people but no one who wanted to go to church or at
least did not feel like waking up as they always will say they will go to
church but do not really mean it. But the positive note is that our family of
five was at church and they like it a lot and they only have to stop drinking
coffee to be baptized which should not be to rough because they do not drink
much. I remember being in Washington and thinking that lots of people drink
coffee there, but here is ridiculous. I would say that 75 percent of people
drink coffee. And parents give their kids coffee starting at the age of 5.....
It is really quite ridiculous. But so normal here.
I was thinking this morning about the people here and have
concluded that it is hard to find good hard working people here who have
commitment because there are really are very few. There are many more in the
United States the only problem is that the culture in the States is different
and people do not want any change in their life because they have everything.
And that makes missionary work very hard. So in the end, missionary work is
better here, but you just have to sort through all the "bad" people to find the
good.
No, there is no leaving early. I will be home Sept. 1. We
played basketball a couple weeks ago but the only problem is it is really hot
and makes my legs tired for the week so I am not a huge fan. I think today we
might walk to mcdonalds in our area and buy ice cream. Rainy season should end
I think at the end of May, it rained literally all day Friday. Don't need to buy
anything other than batteries. No progress on Temple. Hope you have a good week
in Des Moines. Give the dogs some love for me.
Will
