Man it is so good to hear Matt is staying busy with work. Man i was just a curse! No i think that the Lord was testing you guys saying if you get seth out on a mission then the blessings will come! It makes me happy that you guys are finally getting what you have been praying for, for so long. Oh and happy Halloween i guess. haha not much of a holiday here. Im glad you are doing missionary work and the lord is providing opportunities for you to share what you know to be true. We havent gotten any info on a stop smoking thing which is something that could really come in handy with this investigator. if you come across the program let me know. So zone conference is this friday and i am really excited to see pres. That man should be an apostle. It will also be nice to see some guys from my mtc group. Two weeks till transfers!!! My comp goes home very soon which is a good thing for both of us!!! haha So i had an interesting week. I dont want you to worry but i had to go to the doctor last tuesday. But he got me the goods to get me better and im okay now. Last week was kinda slow on the working side which makes me kinda mad but i had to take it easy. Im good now though. One thing that has been really hard is kenya power co. is on strike so we havent had electricity in a while so yeah its hot. We only have a fan to keep cool when we are home and when that doesnt work we sweat sweat sweat. Showering by candle light is quite an experience as well. haha all our food in the fridge went bad to. Luckily its back on now. Aunt Teresa has written me a couple of time though. Please tell bronzen too send me all the pictures his heart desires. I love seeing whats going on back there. Tell porter if he prays really hard he will get a new bracelet for christmas. hopefully i can find one his size.
So sundays seem like the fruits of our labors for the week. If we were successful they will attend church. Last week we had 7 commit to come and even call sunday morning to make sure and only one showed up. I am really down in the dumps on sundays. I feel like we arent getting through to some people. The lord does things in his own time i know but man it would be nice if it could be a little faster. So for our progressing investigators we have Nicholas, Samwell, Leonard, Jackson, Caroline, Henry, Lukas, Wilson, John. They will be baptized i promise you that, it will just take time. We had a investigator last week say they felt in their heart it was true but they cant go off their feelings as their answer! Are you joking what else do you need. I am learning a lot of patience out here. Hopefully our baptisms for the 19th of november will go through, but if they dont attend church consistently we have to push it again. Each person we teach though is so awesome and they read the bom everyday. I just know what elder holland said about the book of mormon and converting yourself. so i hope this will take affect with these people. We are doing good things are moving. Tell matt no bells palsy. And yes i will be able to watch a home video if you send it. Have you seen my ipod or video camera by chance? I really never thought the cards would take the series this year. Im not even mad though, thats impressive good for them. Have you guys got a chance to talk with the scotts? How is sheila doing? Tell her i would love to hear from her. If each of you could have something from africa what would it be?
-love elder haynes
