Well everything is going good here.  Elder Arnold and i
have been working hard together. We have been teaching a lot of
lessons together. We are having a baptism this friday. His name is
brandon. He is about 21. Elder Arnold and i are pretty excited for
that. His mom and his neace have already been baptized. We were
hoping that his sister would be able to get baptized, but she couldn't
come to church so she is going to have to wait another week. There are
a lot of people here that want to change their lives. A lot of them
live in very humble circumstances and dont have very much money. . .
or anything else. A lot of the people that we talk to have had rough
lives and want to change their lives and become better people. I have
been really surprised at how religious everyone here is. ELder Arnold
and i are getting a lot of practice at just going up and talking to
random people on the streets. There are always people out walking
around. all day long. Especially when the sun starts going down. We
meet a lot of interesting people. Most of them will stop what they
are doing to listen to what we have to say too.
So I had a funny experience this last week at church. My
companion sometimes has a hard time staying awake in church. Well he
was sitting next to one of our investigators during sacrament meeting
and he started falling asleep and was nodding off. lol Well the
investigator saw his head bobbing and bumped him and asked " hey are
you sleeping?" Elder arnold said," No, I'm having revelation." He
said it with a strait face and the investigator thought he was serious
so he just said, " O sorry, Keep having them revelations" and didn't
say anything else to him. Lol It was pretty funny. Well i hope you
are having a great week. I miss you.
Love Elder Marshall
