Ya know, its been awhile since i wrote yall a good letter, haha i apologize. ive been busy, and i still am really busy, just trying to make a little time for all my little peeps.
So im doing really good, elder gagon and i have just been going to work and it feels really good. there are few things that are more satisfying then getting home after a hard worked missionary day. if ya havnt ever felt that, go try it, i promise its cool hahaha!!!
We dropped a lot of investigators this week, it kinda hurts. we contact these peole and become really good friends with em but at the end of the day they are just lazy or they are just lying about coming to church.. Everyone wants to hear about god when they dont have to work for it, but when they gotta get off that booty and go to church on sunday all of the sudden they arnt that interested, its sad, we testify and we motivate and we do every thing we can do to convince these people that god will recompense them for their sacrifices but the majority of the peoople just dont have the basic faith to test god. bummer, but thats the way things are sometimes.
As much as i hate to say it though i havnt been too focused on my area too much these past few weeks, ive been on divisions with president doing house inspections... just wanted to say 2 things:
1: if your house is dirty go clean it lol
3: just wanted to remind everyone to be grateful.. to see some of the places my elders are staying in and to see how happy they are anyways really is such a humbling experience. weve got kids out here that have dropped everything, including their nice lifestyles to come out here and just preach the word, and to them it doesnt matter that they are living in a 10 by 10 ft rm with a bathroom outside, they are happy no matter what, and it just makes me think, if those guys that are working in some of our lower class areas can be happy and be grateful i think we all can. The attitude of gratitude, and i promise you, when we recognize gods hand in our life, he usually tends to use that hand a little bit more to bless us. Just do it people, i promise you that its cool.
Thanks to everyone whose kept in touch with me and who has really been supporting me, although i sometimes sound really busy and i dont write back or i dont get on and write at all i really am thinking about you and really am feeling the blessings of all your supportive prayers. It makes me happy knowing i can go get on my email and find an inbox full of love. Someday i will figure out how to repay yall, just give me some time to think about how and ill get it done!!!
I really dont have much more to say, next week (if i have time, hahaha yes, i put the time clause in there cuz i have too hahaha) i will write you about one of the people im working with. because building testimonies and changing lives really has been such an incredible experience for me that has changed me and helped me grow and become better in so many ways, and i want you all to be able to benefit and hear about these experiences to... So just be patient and stay posted, when the lord gives me time i will drop yall a line!!!
Stay up everyone!
Elder Hicks
