I think I jinxed the rain because when i mentioned it, it disapeared for good. Now we get the heat, which everyone says is wierd here. The sun is really really strong here, but thats life. We are still moving on with Luis in his progression. Hes told us its true, now hes just gotta commit to what he knows.
He wasnt able to go to church yesterday, but lets see what happens this sunday. You should take a bunch of pictures at Powell and make an album Id love too feel like I was there. Its one of the things i talk about most here.
Yesterday was ridiculous to the point of being funny. Normally the members are indirect with their comments aimed at us. If you couldnt tell before, we get all the blame for the bad here. Yesterday the Second Counselor of the mission came like he does every 2 months. Hes really good friends with the members that we had to talk to for their gossip problem. Thats when the attacks began, but this time it was open. Me and my Companion took a barrage of cutting remarks and words, and then they turned on the relief society president and aimed some at her. We were wounded, but then the Relief Society President came back with an atom bomb. She is full of love. She asked, If Jesus Christ had an opportunity to help someone, and that person needed the help in that instant, would he have called the Branch President and waited a few days to get money out of the budget and have the president fill out the paperwork required and let him handle it. Or, if he had the means to help, would he have given a little bit of aid, just to see that person a little more happy.
I love that Sister.
Thats life right now. Every time I hear something like that, or feel like im getting attacked, it just gives me more faith in Jesus, because he was attacked way more. Im content with being here. Its helping me grow into someone that i need to become. Have a great week everyone.
Con amor, Elder Turley
