Sorry mom. Writing home last week was just out of the question because of a service project. We were out in no-man’s land for the whole day until we had to rush home to change and go to a FHE that we had - that fell through, by the way. Yesterday we had problems with the internet in that wherever we went, we could not log onto our mail. I don’t know what happened with that.
I am simply a little different than I was when I started my mission. I would rather teach and serve and fulfill my purpose here and save the update for another 7 days. I hope that you can see my commitment. I am committed to writing home as often as possible for the REST of my mission. I only ask that you bare with me from time to time.
These past two weeks have been terrible once again. We have been booked with appointments, but no one is at home when we get there or they find us in the street and reschedule only to not be there on that other appointment. We had 2 baptismal dates but they fell through because they weren’t at home when we showed up to help them to church. So you can see this is a real problem. Those two dates were Laura and her second youngest daughter Daniela. They really do want to be baptized, so I don’t know what happened. That’s what we are doing today.
We are working our tails off and when we start to have some success, we lose contact for the week and that is BAD. We are packed each week with appointments and no one is there. I am not meaning to complain, I simply want you to know what is going on here.
I love you and I’m sorry that you are worried about me but I am fine. No grave illnesses. No attacks. I am obeying and doing what I need and should be doing so there is no need to worry. I am protected and I feel that protection. I am being obedient and we are working every day all day. I am here right now and I stayed during many hard times spiritually and physically because of my commitment to my home and my family.
I’ll write next week for sure. I love you Mom.
Elder Heath
