Dear friends and family,
This week was a little rough. We have worked hard and didn't really have that much success. We are teaching some really solid people. We went 0-7 at church this week. We did the same last week and the gators we are teaching said they would be to church. A few of them committed themselves by saying we are definitely going to be at church. Then they weren't there so that was kinda a rough go. We talked to a bunch of people that don't want any part of us this week. Nothing super miraculous happened this week.
Tuesday we taught this part member family. They want to come back and have done everything except come to church. We think we can get the father put on date for baptism. We are going to pound church attendance.
Wednesday we had exchanges. I actually enjoyed it so much. I was with the Spanish missionaries for a day. We talked to some people who were not interested but they were nice. That is a thing with the Hispanics I have met, they are nice and friendly even though they don't want to listen to our message. We also talked to this guy who was on cloud nine. He was high and wanted us to smoke with him. So we tried to leave him with a Book of Mormon, but he wouldn’t take it. I can understand abut 15% of the Spanish being spoken. That is basically the week. Sorry it is a small letter, but it wasn't very exciting week.
Love,
Elder Astle
