Dear Family,
We are really struggling to get members to help us. At the ward council next sunday, I'm going to present a few ideas to the bishop to try and get people more involved in the missionary work. Like maybe a competition between the missionaries and the ward to see who can get more nonmembers to church in a month or something like that-we'll see how it goes.
This past week we've decided to stop working in the area we've been working and choose a richer area of the city. In D&C 58:8-12, we see that the Lord needs educated men (who can hold the priesthood), who are realitively well off (who can pay tithing), to build the kingdom on earth and then the poor will be brought in a bit later with a "feast." That's the training we recieved from our zone leaders, who revieved it during the training of leaders in Londrina this month! So that will be our focus from now on!
This Sunday was disappointing with no investigators at church because the family that went last week doesn't want to stop drinking coffee. Actually it's just the mom that is ruining it for everyone. There's nothing else we can do but the members say they are going to try and help-so we'll see how that goes!
My feet are starting to have problems again, and my left knee because we are walking soooo much! It's hard when lunch is on one end of the city but where we have appointment is on the other! There should definitley be more than one dupla (companionship) here. Someday I'm sure there will be.
Everything is great here though. Elder Halpin and I get along great and there's plenty of work to do!
Have a great week! I love you all tons and can't wait to get your letters!
