Yeah we teach people, there is a guy named jerry and his son jerry boy, hes 11. jerry is a lass active and jerry boy is an investigator, jerry is a rice farmer. they are good people. jerry boy wants to go to church but his dad never goes so its very hard to get him baptized if he never goes to church. and another investigator is a 14 yo girl named mariel and shes nice and she reads bom and prays and she wants to get baptized but she doesn't want to go to church.. haha so if they dont go to church they cant get baptized. that's like the hardest thing is getting ppl to go to church. one sad thing is we where told by our bishop to stop teaching and visiting a family because the mom is depressed and supposedly bipolar. me and elder tuifelasai had been visiting them 2 or 3 times a week for the past month and they are soo nice, they where my favorite family, we know the mom has problems but i know that we could help her, now we were told to "avoid her at all cost" because the bishop thinks she is dangerous and not progressing. it sucks it made me soo sad because they will wonder why we stopped visiting them, i feel like im letting them down and she might get more depressed, also my new companion doesn't know the family except for what bishop told him so he doesn't want to visit either. every time we walk by their house i feel sad:( but i like my new companion hes a nice guy and he is way harder working than elder tui. and he speaks ok English so i understand him.and that's way weird Ruth is getting married, haha. and i didnt know kylee had a boyfriend haha.
also last night our neighbors baby got kidnapped, it was horrible, it was a guy that liked the mom, she is like 23 or so, and he was drunk and on drugs and he broke in their home and the mom and him were fighting and then we heard lots of screaming and then they man took the baby and ran and we came outside to see what was going on and the mom was just screaming and crying and it was the saddest thing ever. it took the police an hr to get there, while waiting we all went looking for the man and baby, hoping not to find him in one of the streams. then there wasn't anything else we could do so we went back inside, then like another hr later the baby was found alive in a poultry farm but the couldn't find the man. so the baby stayed with their relatives and the wanted to stay in our apartment but its not aloud so we couldn't and they were so scared because they didnt want him to come back. so we helped them lock their house with bamboo poles and stuff. then gave them our number to call us if the needed anything, but everything was ok and they are all fine now. but the bad guy is still out there.:( it was nice to help them out, they thought of us as their body guards haha,
but its sad how slowly the police responded, in that much time the man could have been so much farther away they are lucky they found the kid. anyway
here some pics, love you guys
