11/11/13 They ask too much and give too little

“They ask for too much, and give too little.”  This line has been stuck in my head all week.  Someone once told this to a group.   “Though you don’t wear a name plaque on the outside, you do wear one on the inside. Don’t be fooled.  Everyone watches”   How is it that our actions truly set an example to others.  It’s been interesting, but i have immediately thought of some of my investigators from these two quotes.  We continually talk about Christ and what he has done for us.
And now some of you want stories. Well i do not have much of stories about any investigators.  Only that they are slowly falling.  Some we have had to just drop. It is because they are not progressing.  This is very sad.  We have been working with this joven lately.  And he lately has been very difficult. Meaning we can’t find him   He has the desire to change.  But we have a bump in the way.  And when i mean bump I mean a very big bump.  And he is quite an annoying bump.  hahaha.... but he is still being loved no matter what.  But we now fear he might have said something to this joven.  But this joven is named Steven.  And this bump is his grandfather.  He doesn’t like the church let me just put it that way Anyway…… it’s been very hard.  But like I said he does want to know more. Now it’s helping him.  But that too is a problem. We might have to drop him as well for a time and then return. 
But anyways its been good.  We recently found a family and put a fecha.  thier names are Jose jesus and lilian.  They have potential but  they will need alot of help in the area of prayer.  We have a other family who works every sunday and yet want to know more.  But we will work with them.  We will also work with them.  But we also might have to drop them for a time and return.  alot  of our investigators are new and need alot of help but it will be with time. so that is why i have not yet told stories.  Because alot of them are either fault attendance to church, or just not progressing, or one of the commandments.  Its hard to help them when they dont do their parts.  That is why i have keep this saying in my head.  "They ask for too much and give too little" for me they ask for the help to know more, they have the desire but do not do their part.  Its hard to see that they cant progress. and we invite to be baptised and they do not want.  Which is why some we drop so fast.  Because they will not go to another church or be baptized for a second time. as some do say. But that is about it for now about those investigators.  Mostly pray for them.
But mom Yes to answer your question.  Granada is like antigua.  It beautiful.  This place and for sure masaya are the two places i love most.  but there are some people that yes are nice and some no.  I love it here. Its amazing.  
This last week we had a friend sneak into our house. But i will tell more next week.  And as for changes no i dont know if we have changes.  but we will know tomorrow.  
Chony i told you about my companion in my first letter in this area. But she is a convert of 3 years.  She is from guatemala. She used to be catholic.  She has such a strong testimony.  and as helped me so much.  
Mom for christmas..... probably just movies, and skirts (plain color), and shirts ( that are good for hot weather but if stretched from washing dont look baggy.) and also a towel that Romney wanted.  the funny matierial that dries really fast. dont remember what material.  like i have been telling you.  oh and also usbs with music.  sibs that means when you go to the house for the wedding you can `pass some good church music of something to mom to include with my music with my list from my computer. 
But anyways brie chad i dont know a specific date for your guys wedding so if its this week. congrats. and loves and hugs.  Also tell those who have birthdays happy birthday. I do not know everyones.  Mom your is the 22 yes. and westons is the 25? right. anyways... love you tons. i have to go. i will write more next week.
