Hey there mister! How was this week? I hope your investigators shaped up and were good so that they were able to get baptized! How is everything progressing there?? I know that you are trying your hardest to invite people to come unto Christ and encourage them in their journey, I wouldn't expect any less from you :) hey! I just had this thought, so maybe it means something haha I think you should try to remember mr. Jones' psychology class! Haha use some of those things with your investigators! Like reward, punishment, consequence things! I remember he always said it is better to encourage and celebrate good acts than to remove love for bad acts. Remember that the gospel is probably very hard for some people. We have had it our whole lives, we have had expectations for our whole lives and learned to follow the commandments gradually. I'm sure some people in Argentina have had no such thing, and it would be extremely hard to all of the sudden have such high expectations for their actions, so be patient with them :) your mommy is a sweet woman. She texted me randomly this week and said, "love you" so simple but it means a lot to me. Kiersten does it sometimes too, I already think of her as my sister :)
Whit is out of school now so you two will have plenty of time to laugh at mean pictures of me :'( ........ haha just kiddin. Want to hear a funny story that just happened? Ok so I have recently been in contact with hummingbirds...I hate them, they like to dive at my head and scare me to death. So anyway I was just writing you this email, I am laying in my bed in the dark and I felt and heard something fly by my face....ewwwwwww. I thought it was a dang hummingbird trying to attack me again! Haha so I turned on my light..it was a moth. Ha gross, not as gross as a bird, but close. Are there lots of birds in Argentina? Cause if there isn't..maybe we should think about moving there... ;) do they have lots of chickens??
The time is going by quick klay klay, make every second count :) I love you! Sending more pictures in the mail for ya! :) love, Lou
