Familia (Family)
bueno pues alguien me dijo que debo escribir todo todo de me carta en espanol..... (Well then, someone told me that I should write all all of my letter in Spanish . . . But don’t worry, I’m not going to do it.)...pero no se preocupe por que no voy hacerlo(but don't worry I won't do it.).
Alright well this week has been pretty good, we have been working together and even though we have not had a whole lot of success in this area we are still working really hard together.
Well a really funny story from this week or at least I think that it is pretty funny is that we were going to have a noche de hogar (FHE)with a inactive mother and her family. Well when we showed up, her son was playing outside with a sling so we started to talk to him and to play with him then he said well I have to go buy the tortillas I will be right back but my family is inside and so we said alright we are going to go ahead and talk to them. Well when we knocked on their door they turned off the lights inside the house..... so we said buenos tardes(Good Afternoon) again and they turned of the tv..... so we said buenos tardes (Good Afternoon)and you could hear from inside the mom say to one of the kids -tell them we are not here...... haha. I thought it was pretty funny. What people do to try and trick you, but that’s alrigh,t all three of her kids still came to church this week and we are going to get her this week without fail.
We have been working a lot with a girl that needs to obey the law of chastity and either needs to leave her husband (the guy she lives with) who she says she does not love or want to marry him. Wow. This has got to be one of the weirdest positions I have ever been put in, is what I thought the first couple times it happened, but now that just seems like a normal problem which is really sad. The law in Mexico is if you get married you will get divorced or at least that is what they continue to say to us.
Well not a whole lot has happened this week but something that I have noticed is that it is amazing what people are prepared for this message and those who are not. There are people who accept so quickly all of the blessings we promise and there are others who don’t want to even listen.
This week I got to talk in church and I was impressed to say to the members no podemos esperar a compartir este mensaje estan muchas personas quien esta esperando este mensaje pero no estan esperando mis palabras o las palabras y mensaje de ustedes por que son sus amigos familia vecinos. (Dad might be able to translate~We cannot wait to share this message. There are a lot of people who are waiting for the message, but they are not waiting for my words, but rather the words and message from you, because they are your friends and families, and neighbors). The point is that there are people waiting to hear this message but they just don’t know it yet, but they are waiting.
Well today and yesterday I had five really roudy investigators in the church. The other day four kids and three adults and I sat in on the primary lesson and Dave, all I can say is I hope your primary kids show you more respect.
Well today we went to the beach. It was a lot of fun. Played some football and some soccer and don’t worry mom I did not get sunburned- I hope. Oh and no mom I definitely avoid playing in church, still can’t do it.
Love Elder Monsivais
