Hello hello...
Well I finally found a picture reader thing... I just bought one here.
Theyre super cheap so we`re all good. it was like 2 mil pesos which is
like 4 bucks and it works really well so... were all good! haha. So I
sent a billion pictures. Not really. Like 8. But theyre there! And now
you can see! haha.
Well this past week was an interesting week... Especially with General
Conference Weekend.
But shoot now that Im thinking about it... theres really not much to
tell haha. I basically told it all with the pictures haha.
We`re doing good... Elder Adamson is a really hard worker and its
good! He`s also really motivated to get those Estandardes de
Conocimiento done, and so we`ve set some goals and he`s progressing
really well with that and at this rate might even beat me out at how
fast/soon I got them done! Like father like son right? ;) haha.
jokesss. But yeah he`s doing really well and has opened up alot and is
doing alot better at getting involved with everything. The only thing
now is we just gotta make sure he`s getting involved and
speaking/teaching more in actual lessons! He`s still kind of quiet
during lessons haha. So i gotta make sure I get him more chances to
speak and really teach. But he`s progressing really well!
Were still struggling with investigators and finding someone new to
teach and such... And it just continues getting more and more
frustrating... But were being (somewhat patient!) We`reeee still
searching haha. Dad I`ll be following your advice real soon. thank you
very much.
But as of right now... Were teaching this 12 year old kid. HERE`S an
interesting story for you haha.
The other day we contacted a house, out came some guy and said oh i
dont want to listen to you guys but my wife wanted to talk to you! So
out comes running the wife and she said "Oh yay i wanted to talk to
you guys!!" So we said "uhhh okay how can we help?"
She then explained to us how she was baptized in the catholic church
as a baby and then baptized again when she was 14 into our church...
she then said "So i really wanted to talk to you because I dont know
which one was right and I wanted to know which baptism was the right
baptism!" so we kind of laughed and said "uhhh well when you were
baptized into our church obviously." and then gave a short explanation
and she said "oh good! Well that makes sense! Cuz ive really gotten
inactive from the church and I need help. and I want to baptize my
son." So we said well por su puesto we can help with that! So that was
a miracle! and a great blessing. Its just gonna be reallyyyy hard...
because the son has desires to be baptized but is just the
least-interested person in the world... and hes a troublemaker and
very rebellious and lies to his mom a bunch... I shall explain that in
a second... But it will also be hard because the mom is now
conviviendo with a VERY Evangelico man. and they have no desires to
get married but dont want to seperate either... So we have to work
with her :/
and the son (Fransisco) just seems like the saddest person alive :/ I
think he`s looked us in the eyes sola una vez and doesnt say anything.
Luckily he told us and explained that he does have desires to be
baptized, so we can work with him. But he just wants to BE BAPTIZED.
As in he just wants the baptism and has almost 0 interest in hearing
the messages we have to share... He just wants to be baptized... And
soooo we got them to come to the last session of general conference
with us. And after like 15 minutes of listening he said something to
his mom, got up, and left.... and so i had a strong feeling we needed
to follow him. So Elder Adamson and I left and we saw that he went
outside and was just leaving the church building to go who knows
where... and so longggg story short we following him FOREVER and were
just talking to him, having a conversation, and finally persuaded him
to come back...
*and for mom and dad, those parks with the exercise machines in the
middle of them? They have those here too. We were at one of those for
like 25 minutes while he did exercises before we got him to come back
with us...*
But so he had lied to his mom cuz he got bored and said he was going
to the bathroom and just left the church to go who knows where... but
we got him back. And thats not the first time he`s done something like
that... sooo... its gonna be rough. But it`s all we got right now...
Pray for us pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee. please please please pleaseeeeee. We
need it. Alot.
So yeah. Theres my story. Thats how the mission is going right now...
You can judge for yourself. And to be completely honest I`m pretty
frustrated in this point. Its rough. Were going through a tough trial
right now. Were being obedient and it seems like were putting in our
best effort... but just very few results seem to be coming from it...
we keep analyzing, adjusting, and trying to mejorar... but we just got
nothin... So... we just have to keep pushing forward and wait. Thats
all we can really do. So thats what were doing.
But yes im still happy! yes i still love the work. Worry not. Its just
rough. haha. But i continue learning, doing my best, being obedient,
and trying to make everyone proud! And p.s. cambios were today and so
si o si Elder Adamson and I will be together another 6 weeks! haha.
Yay.
Welllll theres my letter for today. That shall be all. I love you and
miss you all alot. I hope all is well. I hope everybody is happy and
doing good things!! Me encanta el evangelio, la iglesia es verdadera,
y me siento feliz y bendecido porque tengo este conocimiento en mi
vida. Les quiero y les echo de menos! Que les vaya bien!! hasta la
proxima semana.
-Elder Heyman
