Hello Family.
Well sadly L. didn't go to church. Because J. wanted to go fishing, so she had to go home to watch the kids. Weve talked with her and she has time to come to church here. Just leave right away and go straight the the church, not go home. And she is willing to do it as well, and she wants to. But J. wanted to go fishing so she couldn't. ugh. Sometimes i get frustrated with him. He seems to be impeeding her from being baptized. He kind of snaps a bit when we ask if she is coming to church, or if she can be baptized. He says she has no time.
Well kid of a funny story. L. invited us to go eat at a Brazilian restaurant here. Something just like Tucanos. She has one of the biggest hearts I've ever seen. But anyhow she invited us and at the end they gave of four cups. 4 shots cups. So my companion and i just sniffed them and didn´t drink anything. Then J. drank some and said it has nothing, and L. did and said the same. So then i sniffed it again, and my companion thought i drank some so he took a sip, and said yeah, it has alcohol. So I didn't drink any. SO we all three gave it to J. Kind of funny, didn't think you'd ever drink alcohol on your mission. But it was just an honest accident. Kind of funny though.
So we met with R. and well she has some family problems. Her husband kind of abuses the kids, and she obviously says not to, and then he gets mad at her, because the kids disobey, and he thinks the only way to correct that is by hitting them. And the kids are on their phones all day, and have no interaction with the parents. And she is really worried that the family is going to fall apart. Just made me realize there are a lot of different problems in the world today, but the gospel can help with any problem, no matter what. Thanks to christ all wounds and sores and difficulties can be made light. come unto me that are tired and heavy leaden for i will give thee rest. For my yoke is easy and my burden light. So we just talked about that. How the gospel can help you and your family. Sadly she couldn´t come to church because she was working, but she is still reading. So hopefully things will get better with her family.
Well we weren't able to meet with MJ and Carlos because she was sick. So we will see what happens. And R and H are continuing to progress. But its slowly. They read but sometimes, and come to church, but sometimes. But they know what they need to do to better their lives, they just need to do it.
Well M, so she called us, we were done with her. And so we met with her a few weeks ago and says she wants to be baptized. But she doesn't want to do much. She says she doesn't want to play with us. i dont know. We are just going to say it as clearly as we can this week, and if she comes to church then we will continue and if not, we will be done. so well see what happens.
Well one funny story from a few weeks ago is we got stuck in an elevator with MJ and C and their daughter for for about 20 minutes. Someone had some key and let us out. It was kind of funny.
Transfers really are the worst thing. Growing so close to people, and then saying goodbye so quickly. And knowing that you like halfway across the world. But its the best thing getting to know so many great people. And it is nice being able to stay in contact with them.
Thats to bad Provo lost. Whats in Duluth anyhow. I remember the Reagan thing from ap us. Would have been the only time that all fifty states voted for the same guy. But oh well. People here are also surprised of all the random facts i know. WE were talking about how the canaries speak spanish, and its right next to Africa so its kind of weird. Then someone said and stranger about Brasil. A huge chunk of south america. Then i said well its because some pope drew a line in 1492 and said everything right Portuguese and left spanish. And later they found out part of Brasil was to the right. Called the Treaty of Tortasilla.
Sounds like a really good concert. Sure was fun the u2 concert. There are a lot of good people out there that aren't members of the church. I wonder if he will ever accept the gospel. Hopefully some day. Kind of funny how that happened with Devon. Kind of funny how a few of those things always seem to happen. and would never happen again.
Car shopping is always fun. Kyle sure lucked out he came to St. George with us that one time to St. George. Corvettes sure are quick. I think they made a new cool looking sting ray. No clue how much though. Probably a lot.
It was fun when dad and Brandan Hallbrock were together in teachers. Im glad dad was always in scouts with me. Lots of fun memories. They do seem to get along well. we always called him fish during scouts.
Id be down to room with devon. That'd be fun. Its good that we were always close. Never fought (when we were older) and were fine with sharing a room before. And then no problems of worrying if your roommate would be weird or not. That'd be fun to do.
We are going to Aranjues today so ill write a letter to dad on the train ride there. I forgot to last week. But i will today.
Spain didn't do to well the first game. But if they beat chile they will advance. And they actually lost the first game in the last world cup to Switzerland. Then they never lost again. So could just be a slap in the face that they need to do better. Obviously they are a good team, but they are trying to do what no one has done. Win the Europe cup twice in a row and the world cup twice in a row. SO 4 in a row basically.
Well to bad for phil. Maybe next year. Haha. he is getting old though. 5 majors is good. But im sure he wants the us open. well run aways are never to fun to watch. Sounds like the course didnt play to hard then for them this year.
Well thats good jj is on schedule. HOpefully he will be able to head out soon. Do you know with his spanish if he speaks with the sh for the ll? They actually do a j sound here for the ll. (an english j sound) so for like llamada its jamada. and arginina shamada. More or less. But obviously the most known here it the zeta or theta. And for j here they also well its kind of hard to explain but its like growling in your throat.
Yeah, ill send Kevin a note. Nope, haven't had any beef that compares with the steak from Mortons. That was really good. DOnt think that I’ll ever forget that. Sounds like the concert was good. Sounds like everyone enjoyed it. Dont think anything will compare with u2 ever. Knows for putting on a show, and have amazing music. I think they are my favorite band. One it just reminds me of childhood , and they are really good songs as well. Good boating music.
Well that'd be fun if Spain played germany. Spain should still advance. I think Spain played Germany is last world cup in the semifinals While we were at lake Powell.
Well have a good week
Love
Elder Kinghorn
