Hey Family, what's kickin? Well this week has been good. We had zone
conference this past week. It was really good. I was able to talk with
President Tobias about some of the problems and challenges in the branch
I'm serving in. And just got some good motivation to sprint to the
finish of my mission. Only 2 transfers left! I have a lot of mixed
feelings about it. I just try to avoid thinking about it too much. Well
our work has been about the same. We get around to about 90% of the
members each week, or at least to their houses. One of the biggest
challenges in this area, is that no one is home from about 1 to 5, so we
get punted a lot from out appointments, cause everyone is out working
in the sugarcane and rice fields. But at least we get to stop by and let
people know we care about them. Another challenge is that we can't
teach if there are no males in the home. So even if there are some
people home, and no males, you still can't teach them. Our attendance
was at 23 this sunday. I was hoping for a lot more, but you know that's
life. I taught the youth book of mormon sunday school class. There was
only 3 of them, and I was teaching and explaining about mosiah 7-9 and
everything that happened there. How the people of King Limhi discovered
the civilization of the Jaredites. Then I asked them if they knew who
the Jaredites were. They didn't. So then I had to go off and explain the
story of the Jaredites. They also didn't know the story of the Tower of
Babel. Haha. Spiritual babies. But it's ok, I'm glad I could help them
grow in a knowledge of the gospel. Transfers are on Wednesday. I'm not
sure if I'll transfer or not. I won't find out until tomorrow. If I
don't, I'll most likely be in this area until the end of my mission. So I
sent you some pictures finally! We went to a mini zoo today for p-day.
It was actually really cool! And, as you can see, we got to hold big
snakes! That one we're holding weighs 100 pounds, and they said it ate 3
chickens last night! A couple other elders came with us and the senior
couple. They are the Adams couple from Bountiful, Utah. They are way
cool and we love having them here. Anyway, I guess that is all for me
right now. Love you all and hope that all is well. Love, Greg
