Ciao Mama! Actually we have not been able to contact either of the people that we met during finding last week, but such is life around here. Besides them we have found 5 new investigators this week though! So that is good. We already accomplished our monthly goal of new investigators. My companion says I have a "hot hand" at finding work, which I am not sure if that is true or not, but we have had a lot of success there. Now I just need to work harder on making sure that they progress, that is my next goal I want to work on. My language is taking some good strides this week by the way! I am grateful for your prayers, I feel like yours get more done for me than mine.
That is awesome to hear about Jack starting piano again! I knew he had it in him. Piano will help him and he will be more grateful for it than he could imagine right now, even if it might stink sometimes. But after the trial comes the blessings. High school soccer?? I can hardly believe it either. He better work hard, Lippy does not put up with holding back effort. It is good that he does not have to deal with comparing himself to the older brothers, I had the same problem. It can either be a motivator or a de-motivator. I always thought of it in the sense that Coleman and Sawyer have paved a little path that makes it all the easier to follow their example, what I did not see for awhile though was that the only example of them I needed to follow, is that they were worthy enough to be able to serve the Lord on a mission. Other things like piano or soccer are not so important as that.
This week we were actually supposed to have a baptism, but he had to go somewhere, so hopefully he comes back and we can do that. We also made, and lost a baptismal date. He is nice and open, but he is not willing to change, hopefully other Elders can visit him later when he is. So on my end this week, there has not been much success except in the finding people area. My letter this week will be shorter but I am glad to hear that everything is going so great over there! I am slowly learning more and more of what the Lord wants for me, and for those people that I teach. Every day I feel a little more of the endless love He must have for them. I do love the people here and this place though, and am still grateful for the small amount of experiences I have had now, and look forward to what I will yet experience these next 2 years. It is great to hear about all the new additions to the family! It will be fun to find out how many new names I will have to memorize when I get back! And I did not get the suit actually, I figure that will be a more later mission kind of thing. I will be pulling out money though because I need some stuff like a bag. I hope you have a great week!
Ti voglio bene, Anziano Vaclaw
