Sorry if I havent been writing a whole lot; I have been doing a lot, but it hasnt really resulted in anything. Just to give you an idea, we taught more than 50 lessons this week and at the end of the week we only have 6 people that we are going to keep teaching. Its a little bit frustrating at times, but its worse when I look back on the week and realize how much time we wasted. Sister Taylor is very good with reminding me that as long as we are working we are not wasting time. Everything has a purpose, and I have seen that.... but I am a little bit impatient and a little hard on myself sometimes.
One of the people we met this past week when we were wandering around trying to find a house (because I still do not remember where peope live and how to get there) is Rosenburg. He has an interesting story... He hasnt lived the best way a person should, and so he has been shot three times (one of them was very recent) and he has a scar about 8 inches long going down the middle of his stomache. He also showed us the bullet that the doctors removed from the last time he was shot. He seems interested in the gospel and our message, but its a little hard to tell since he is still kinda doped up on the pain killers the doctors have been giving him.
But the highlight of my last two weeks has been Amanda. She is 12, and she absolutely loves everything we are teaching her. Its amazing how she likes everything we talk about, and we gave her a Book of Mormon a week ago and she is already in 2 Nephi! She reads every night before she goes to bed. Her mother is also wonderful, and she has a little sister who is the same age as Megan which is nice for me. We went to visit them yesterday and Amanda asked us what time her baptism is going to be this week. Missionaries love questions like that =]
I love you! Hope your week was great!
