Short & Sweet

Hey so I dont have a lot of time this week. So I will only be able to answer some of your questions and in a combined letter too.

Well my new comp is good, he doesnt talk very much in lessons so I am going to try to get him to talk more and stuff like that, he only has 3 months in his mission so it is kinda normal. Like I said he is from Guatamala and he is fun to be with too. So everything is going good with the companion side.

What color are you painting the basement? You are painting the ceiling too? I started to paint a house but then the lady didnt want us to come back... hahahaha she didnt like that we were trying to preach to her while we were there. She is Catholic and her daughter in law is a member so she is the one that invited us but the grandman doesnt want us to come back.

Speaking about changes in the mission, there are four new requirement for the missionaries in order to baptize someone now. 1. They have to attend church 4 times and at least twice alone. 2. They have to obey the Word of Wisdom for 30 days, and if they break it the 29th day they have to do it all over again. 3. They have to have an assignment before they are baptized. 4. We cant baptize little kids unless they have someone over the age of 15 to help them progress spiritually. So there are the changes. Also we arent allowed to contact anymore, we have to ask for references and we are going to be working with the real growth of the church with the less active members and bringing them back and baptizing any parts of their families that arent members.

Our investigators are doing good, we have like 6 right now that are doing good, they just need to attend church once more and they are good to go. I am doing good and happy.

 

Hope you have a good week  this week. Love you guys!!!!

 

Love Elder Evans
