Hey, Every one back home, how is it? I'm not sure if mom reads
these letters out loud or just shares some of the details. I
think it's the latter. I just wanted to say to everyone else
as well. Hi...
So, another week is gone and as usual I’m not sure what to
write about. This week felt as if there was a lot that went on,
But, we only met a few people this week. We spent most of the
time running here and there for this and that. I don't know
what's going on but I’m tired all the time and feel like I have
no energy. But on the bright side things could be a lot worse
off than they are. This area has several people we are still
meeting with and wonderful members that we can turn to for help.
So the week started out with our investigator cancelling on
us and getting caught out in the rain. But we were able to meet
someone we found before. He still wanted to come to church;
however he wasn't willing to come out Sunday. Which really
confuses me. It seems that the other churches here don't really
require anyone to sacrifice their time. You can go anytime you
feel you have free time, like some sort of hobby or something.
I can't understand why people can think that they get anything
out of going to that kind of church. Anyways, we also tried
meeting the many less active members in our area. We were able
to catch several people. One man was a hair designer. He seemed
to be doing well but I just didn't understand him at all. He's
been less active for at least the past ten years or so. He reads
and prays daily yet has no desire to come to church. Also this
one member a couple of years older than I, wants to go on a
mission but doesn’t want it enough to change. The saddest thing
he said was a question, asking if he could still go when he turned
thirty. I felt that meant, (I'll come back to the church latter
when I'm older.) It was such a heart wrenching visit. Hopefully
we'll meet him enough to help him find better help. But on
the bright side, we attended a baptism on Sunday. My companion
is the District leader so he interviewed the person. It seems
like they'll stay active too, they've already been attending for
one year now and they haven't really missed a day since. That
brought hope to this week as well as our meeting with Lee Young
Rahn 자매님. She has been a handful and she is so out spoken about
her feelings and her actions say otherwise. The last time we meet
with her, she talked about how praying was a sign of weakness and
that placing faith in something you can't see is foolish. But at
the end when we asked her to pray she said yes and then asked for
help on how to pray. She’s weird... but she seems like she’s just
a confused soul looking for answers but too proud to openly admit
to it.
Well I've been fine and sleepy this week. I'm finally realizing
that this time is short and that at some point there is an end
to it. I love you Mom and I miss you too. Hoping for the best for
you.
Bye...
