e-mail May 17, 2010

Well, this email is going to have to be fast because I didn´t manage my time the best this week. Well, what happened? I hitch hiked for the first time with week one day we hitch hiked four times. it´s been fun. we trobably walked 30 miles with week. one day, we hiked up this mountian. we had talked to this lady in town and she said she was interested in hearing our message. she gave us general directions and we thought it wouldn´t be too hard. We started up the mountain and it was steep. We hicked about 40 minutes straight up this mountain in the rain. We finally found a hous and asked if they new the lady and out she walked. They gave us some tang made in contaminated water, but we had to drink it because when a dirt poor family gives you something like that, you have to drink it. Anyway, so we taught her and then kept hiking. We were way up this mountain in the jungle. i will sent picture next week. it was crazy. my boots really came in handy. We are having kind of a rought time. We only have one real investigator. We´ve had a real problem with people making appointments and then not being there, or hiding in the back and then having someone lie and tell us they aren´t there. That happended to us 4 times in one day in 1 hour actuallly. It is a little depressing when we know we have a message that can change their life if they just let it and have a open heart. The people here have a hard time commiting to things. It is just hard for them to take responsibiblity and do something. We are working hard. We may not have a lot to show for it, but we are working and will continue to teach and try to find those who God has prepared for us to teach. I still have a ton of bites. We got a new rule from pres. Fraatz that we have to wake up at 5:00 now. That has been really hard and tiring, but we are being obedient and sacrificing. Things are going well. Sorry this wasn´t as long as normal, but I will use my time better next week. Hopefully we will baptized this one investigator we have right now. We will see. O, I got the dear elders last pday. it was actually really fast. it was great to hear from everyone. thanks for the letters. I have a blister from using a machete. We´ve been doing a lot of service with machetees. I might buy one for myself.we will see if i can afford it. thanks again. keep sending letters. The church is true whether the people what to hear it or not. Joseph Smith was a profet whether they want to believe it or not. I love you all.
