Hey, how are you doing? This week was cool, Sunday has come to be a bit of a depressing day, when all the people we have taught during the week and have invited to church don´t show up, but I have come to learn to be a liitle more content. I'm tired of leaving a house and thinking "wow that was awesome", and then after that they don't progress. I've come to learn not to be too trusting in what people tell me, because they can say what ever they want but if they don't show up Sunday it shows where we're really at. Anyway, where there are downs there are ups also. We met a few people this week that look promising, we worked more with the less active members, some of the which actually came to church this week so that was sweet! I feel sometimes that even though a lot of the people don't progress to baptism, for the least, there are usually better off then before, as far as being happy and more unity in the family and things like that. At the same time it's just like WWWHHHYYYYY! I've come to realize that if I don't teach someone like they're 5 years old, they have no idea what's happening. I find way cool scriptures, think of cool ways to explain things, but in the end the majority don't get it. (For example Me:" Brother Quispe, the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored, the word restore means, to bring back something exactly as it was before. Can you tell me what the word restore means?" Bro. Quispe: " Ummmm.... I.... I think it´s kind of like the faith, you know, follow the path of God, and read the bible." Usually I hear that several times a day, so I'm always looking for the most miniscule ways to explain things. Everything is going good, and I hope you guys have a great week. I'll talk to you then. LOVE YOUR SON, Aaron (Elder Barrett)
