Jehovah Witnesses and Less Actives

Q: What's your schedule?  zone Conferences, etc. 
A: Schedule: First week of the month we have zone conference and every Tuesday district meeting every other tuesday tambien es reunion de lideres [meeting of the leaders]. Noche de hogar actividad en la iglesia [Family home evening at the church] every Friday. and every Thursday we have weekly planning fro 3 hours. Monday is pday. 

Q: How do people respond to you (as missionaries)?
A. Well since there are a ton here (and a ton of Jehovah witnesses) there are complete barrios (neighborhoods) where everyone is an investigator miembro or antiguo [member or former]. And other (rich) barrios where we haven´t been able to contact anyone because they are never home.
WE are accepted bien and always offered water. lots of heat.

Q: Have you met anyone new?  Tell us about it.
A. I meet a ton of new people every day. WE are focusing on menos activos [less actives] right now. It’s kind of sad to see how many people get offended because (and not limited too): other people who don´t work, other people who work too hard, people who don´t come to weekly activities, people who do come to weekly activities. And just about any other type of reason. It´s so easy to forget who will judge us in the final day. And that not only do we have to avoid these contentions but also that we have to vencerlos con felicidad [overcome with happiness]. Si estamos enojodos, frustrados hemos fallado a cumplir los mandamientos de Dios. [If we enojodos frustrated have failed to fulfill the commandments of God.]


OUR Package arrived!  Thanks to an Evans cabin cousin!
I love the new pics. Just got the package y'all sent me. The mp3 is a little glitchy but I’ll probably use it for the voice recorder (get ready for more pday songs;P) 
Thank you for everything! I feel extremely spoiled. Seeing as I know missionaries that sometimes their families’ don´t even write. Thanks for everything and I love you guys!
