Dearest Family and Friends,
How is everyone on this fine monday? This weeks letter will be a little short, in reality I dont have much to say! Its been an incredibly fast week, I dont know where the time went! We worked hard this week, more families to teach, and always some funny experiences.
ive been really focusing on two things in this last transfer. Strengthening my converts before I leave, and finding plenty of new investigators for the next missionary. Were doing pretty well on both aspects. Its a little difficult, the mission. Its hard to figure out how to manage your time in finding new investigators, teaching those who are progressing, strengthening your converts, all the while trying to strengthen the love between the ward members! It throws my head for a spin sometimes. The question ive learned to ask is "what is the most important thing I can do right now?" But 2 elders is not enough for this area. thats for sure.
Some of my converts are doing great, others, not so great! haha Dunia and her family have been hit hard since their baptism, yet their faith never fails! They keep going to church no matter what! Ana Paola is losing her ability to walk because of a bacteria in her bones, and the doctors are gonna be able to fix it but shes in plenty of pain. But yet they still all make it to church! Regardless of pain! I love it. Theyre reading their scriptures like crazy and Dunia is about finished with the Book of Mormon already. She reads like 10 pages every day. On the other hand, I feel like Andy got baptized just because it was something new in his life. He has a testimony, but he gets distracted very easily from whats important in this world. But we cant abandon him! And I wont! Just like Elder Nielsson said in general conference, we never give up. we never stop loving. one day theyll figure it out!
Well, thats all for this week, ill try and write more next week! love you all!
Elder Hodson
