Hi family!

This week was a pretty good one. We didn´t have any rain, so Elder
Bueno and I got to work really hard in the street making a lot of
contacts.

we had interviews with President this week, and the night before the
interview, one of the assistants came to our house to work with us in
trio. I think his goal was to embarrass us by making more contacts than
us in our area. He was chasing people down in the street, and making
us run to catch up. He taught me a lot of things, but he also did some
stuff that I didn´t agree with. With one teenager, the assistant
asked, "Does your family have a few minutes to hear a message about
Jesus Christ?" the boy went to ask his mom, and when he came back he said,
"No, my mom said that we have to leave right now so that I can sign up
for my classes at school". The assitant asked, "Do you think that
signing up for classes is more important than Jesus?" I felt like that
was a pretty retarded question to ask, and it didn´t help us get into
the house to teach a lesson...

The next day at interviews, President didn´t ask me anything. He just
told me that how he knows I´m working, is by the numbers I send him
every week, and that I need to work hard...
I asked him about Elder Kutomi. He said that Elder Kutomi is
progressing; I´m glad to hear that Elder Kutomi is getting better.

I´m really loving my companion Elder Bueno. We did a family night this
week with a part member family. We played the "shock" game. We sent
Alex, an 11 year old boy, out of the room, and we chose one person to
give the shock. When alex came back, he had to touch everyone to see
who had the shock. When he touched the person we chose, everyone in
the room SCREAMED! Alex's eyes got all wide, and he fell on the
ground. I couldn´t stop laughing. I laughed so hard that I cried. It
was the funniest think I´d seen in the mission. Alex couldn´t stop
shaking for 10 minutes.

I love you guys! The church is true! Keep choosing the right, and be happy.

Love, Elder Forsyth
