This has been a great week. Some difficulties with peoples agency, but i know that we put forth our effort. I am going to be honest, right now i feel like i am about to give up the ghost. Not sure what happened today, but i think i caught my first cold of the mission. For the past year i have been watching people get sick all around me, and i was beginning to think i was invincible. Turns out its not true. Hopefully now that Mad-i is finishing her mission her luck isn't passing to me. But that's where I'm out right now in this moment. Feeling real poopy.
But apart from today we really have had a really good week. The Familia Jimenez, the family we have been working on for the past couple weeks could not make it to church. they said that right when they were about to leave the house, long lost family came to their door for a good long visit. So they couldn't leave the house. I know that these people are ready for baptism though. This week we had a lesson with them that was incredible. We talked about the book of Mormon a lot and we asked the dad what his feelings were toward the book, now that he had read a little in it. He took a while to respond, and then told us that he thought it was true because it was helping him stop drinking. We had no idea that that was a problem for him. Then we invited him to be baptized (for the 3 time). He said no because he feels like he still doesn't know enough stuff to make the decision. We are still working with him on that, but he is being really stubborn about it, so we decided to let him think about it some more.
This week we also found two new famillies to teach. Great news.
My body tells me no mas. I love you guys bunches. Have a great week.
Love, Elder Durup
