Marc's email 1/17/2011

This week was a lot better than last week. Although still have the same comp and I am still facing the same problems, I have just accepted it and realized that this is the mission. I make my mission what I want it to to, not what my comp or other missionaries want it to be. That being said, I am making my mission what I want it to be, I am obeying the rules as I know I should and if my companion doesnt want to or if somebody has a problem, good they can do their own thing but "I am about my Fathers business" This week we had two baptisms. One of the baptisms was a 9 year old boy and the other was a 15 year old boy. They were both really good experiences. Also we had a person walk into the services and when we asked her if she was a member she answered saying not yet. So with that we will hopefully baptize her and three others in her family. That was a miracle on the Lords part because we are running out of investigators. As for the spanish, it is still coming. I can understand what people are saying and for the most part I can have a conversation with someone about whatever I want. It will continue to get better the whole two years. My body is still holding up just fine. My stomach doesnt hate the food as bad as I thought it would so that is good. My figure has stayed that same but instead of the muscle its just fat. Pretty tight. It sounds like your week was good. Gotta love having the kids over and sleeping with them. Sounds like you get about as much sleep as I do. On average I get about 5 hours. EVerynight there are either kids screaming, drunks laughing, car alarms, la banda, or roosters, sometimes all of them. Its alright I can sleep when I die right? Well this week I have interviews with the President so that will be good. We had to clean the house today so it is presentable. I got stuck with the mopping duties. I also started reading Jesus the Christ this week. My testimony has grown so much in the last four months it isnt even funny. I know the Christ died for us and everybody can be saved through Him. I know that prayers are answered and we can pray about anything. Heavenly Father knows each one of us and our needs always. As long as we always try our hardest, He will fill in where we lack. Also about Quade, just let him do his thing, he will figure it out. I dont know what his plans are. I love you Mom thanks for everything.
