Half Way through #3

hello,

lets see where to start.... lets give a shout out to elder brunson in japan who sent me a letter, and also i finally got all 3 parts of the letter grandpa sent me.  thanks so much for your love and support. ill try to write you back asap.

this week has not been much change, our work drops a little more each week.  i started yesterday pushing him.  i made him stay out till almost 9pm in the rain contacting referrals.  im going to keep pushing him till he works as hard a i do.  we came home at 7 one night cuz he needed to use the bathroom.  he went #3 and decided he could no longer work.  i babied him and we went and got some medicine to take care of him and we went to bed early that night.  last night he said his stomach hurt so we couldnt work, but i jumped in a jeepney (like a taxi) and made him follow me to contact ppl.  that was at 730, he said we had no more time to work, so i told him we have 2 more hrs to work. he said its raining, i said so what, he said we have no money, and i told him we still have enough to make it there and back.  he came up with every reason why we needed to go home early, and i fired right back with a reason to stay out.

he is my DL, and he was trained by out ZL.  i have noticed that his mom rules his world, and i have been talking to Pres and the Zls about the things we are doing.  this morning he didnt do his personal studies, becaouse he decided to iron every piece of clothing he has.  so pretty much i gotta keep kicking his BUTT every second of the day.  i told him this morning that i have a problem with his lack of effort, and he made up the excuse that he is sick.

anyways, enough about him.  we have a baptism this saturday and the guy told me he wants me to baptize him.  we also have one on the 27th as long as the girl keeps progressing.  i have seen the gospel change lives and i love it.  the time is going by too fast for me.  each day ppl are amazed at the way i speak, its like i have been here for a long time.  they ask me how long i have been here and they dont believe me when i tell them 0only 3 months.

i saw a Rolls Royce on saturday.  it was a herst though.  im not sure if it was real or a fake, cuz most the time things are fake here.  and i was sitting on a bus while it was loading ppl and i sneezed out the window.  the funny thing was, there was a lady walking under the winndow and was showered with my snot.  i didnt know she was there till after i had done it.  she didnt say anything, she just gave me a thizz face look and kept walkin.  i laughed so hard at that.

not much more to say about my week.  i love you all and im praying for you.
