Grondel,
i had a really good week and i am really enjoying working here
in this area. it has been almost a month, and i honestly feel like this is the
best area i have served in. I also have a great companion, so that helps me out
a lot. We are creating a pretty big teaching pool and we have established goals
for the transfer and the nest transfer as well. i realized that i have not been
myself lately, so this week i wanted to work on that. i suceeded and this week
was actually a lot of fun. it's cool because i can say that now! the mission
isn't just work and rejection. it's laughing, feeling the spirit, helping
others, and so much more.
We have 2 baptisms marked and we are working with 3 more progressing
investigators towards baptism as well. We are also working a lot with less
active members here. What makes me really sad are the less active members. they
are worse than semi pro football players- "back when i was in high school... in
junior college...etc..." they say "o élder i always helped the missionaries, i
visited 5-6 families that weren't on my list, i helped plan activities...." they
USED to be is the problem. they used to feel the spirit, read the book or
mormon, take the sacrament, go to the temple... what is going on? when did this
become okay? i hear that they have testimonies, but i don't see it anymore. in
their eyes it's as if a fire has diminished to nothing but smoldering ashes. i
want to help sooo much and i get so excited on sunday, but they don't come
:/
be active in your callings guys. go to the activities. support our ward. be
your best and leave unto the lord the rest. HOORAH! (shoutout to joe
stinton).
hugs and kisses,
-Élder Grondel jr.
