Hey you guys!

This week has been pretty normal. We´ve just been working super hard.
We´ve been trying really hard to find new investigators, because all
the ones we have don´t go to church on Sunday.

In the last two weeks, we´ve taught over 50 new people, and of these
50 new people, none of them were able to go to church this Sunday. I´m
a little frustrated.

The people where I live are super humble. Everyone lets us in their
homes to teach, and everyone accepts the invitation to be baptised,
but when you give them a commitment, they run away, or they lie. We
work with a lot of deception.

So... this next week, I´ll probably find 30 more new people to teach,
and we´ll try to bring them to church. Part of the problem is that I
don´t have a church in my area anymore. We have to take a bus to
another city now. I hope we can do better this week.

I´m liking Elder Bueno a lot. We joke around a lot. We talk about deep
doctrine. We talk about how our future wives will be. We really get
along great, and we´re both really excited to do our work. He´s one of
the best companions I´ve had in the mission.

I love you a lot. Thanks for all the letters, and emails. The church
is true. I´m glad that I get to stay on the mission for 5 more months,
because that's still plenty of time to make a difference in people's
lives, including my own. I think I´ve changed a lot already. Maybe
you´ll notice when I get back :)

Love,
Elder Forsyth
