A tough 2 weeks, Nov. 14. 2011

This week was wayyyyy tough. I do not know why. These last 2 weeks have been 2 of the hardest weeks ever on my mission. Training back to back is a challenge. My kid is a good one, but its still quite an adjustment. No one wants to listen, our appointments are falling through, members keep cancelling appointments to go out with them to teach their friends, investigators not coming to church, the attendance at church was really low, etc etc. I have never had 2 weeks of this kind of stuff in a row. Yeah a couple of day’s maybe, but 2 weeks is a lot. It’s been kind of tough on me. My companion Elder Hummel is having kind of a hard time with everything. The Spanish, the walking, etc is taking its toll on him. He kind of broke down on Thursday night and we went home early. But he is doing ok now. He is a good kid. And like I said, his mom is from Walla Walla. And she just told him that she has a child hood friend that lives in our ward in Burbank, so idk who that would be. Maybe you could look into that. She also says that she has another high school friend that supposedly dated you in high school, dad. We both started laughing when we heard that. Maybe you guys could try to make contact with her to make her happy. But I really hope that this week is a whole lot better than these last 2 weeks. I know that it is just a trail and test of our faith, and I know that the Lord puts these things in our lives to humble us. So we just need to humble ourselves and turn to the Lord to get out of it. Please continue praying for us, like I know you already do. I hope that next weeks email is somewhat more positive that this one. Ok I got to go. I love you and thanks for everything!
