My knee is still buggin me. It's not so much pain that I can't stand it, but it's just really annoying lately. If it's just pain, I'm not worried about it, but I just don't want to find out I screwed it up in my knee somehow from doing so much on it. So I don't really know what to do. I fell on it playing basketball and it's been hurting since then.
I don't know if I wrote it incorrectly or if there was some misunderstanding, but it's actually A. and S. who are together. A. and J. were living with them but apparently they moved out so we're only teaching A. and S. now. They weren't able to come to church tomorrow, but they are still progressing. They love the Book of Mormon and they said they're planning on getting married but they are thinking it's probably going to happen next year. -_- But we're still trying to get them to do it sooner. We're hoping they'll be willing to come to conference this next weekend.
This week was a little slow in terms of investigators, but we did have a lot of service opportunities this week which was great! On Tuesday, we went to a public school in the city to translate for parent teacher conference. We did that from about 1-8 so after all of it, I had a huge headache from all that translating, but it was a lot of good practice and a great opportunity to plant some seeds in the hearts of the many parents and teachers at the school. And on Saturday we were able to do service at the Indiana Special Olympics finals. Our group helped with a game called "Corn Toss" which is a local Hoosier game similar to horseshoes, but it is played by throwing bean bags into a hole. It was a blessing to spend that time serving Heavenly Fathers innocent, sweet-spirited children.
Like I said, this week was a little slow. We had 4 people tell us they were all coming to church, and not a single one showed up. That might be the most frustrating thing in the world.
I had asked him what is the missionaries role with a new convert after baptism? Here in Indy, we continue teaching recent converts all the lessons over again after they are baptized, but we usually have a member teach them with us. We try to let the member do most of the teaching and assist them with the lesson. So we've been teaching Catalina and we're trying to get her started on her family history work so she can go to the temple and do vicarious baptisms for her ancestors.
Other than that, there's not much going on. We started teaching this guy named P. and he seems really willing to listen, but he has a ton of Virgin Mary paintings and candles in his house so he seems pretty rooted in Catholicism. But we have an appointment with him tonight so we'll see how it goes.
I love you Mom! I got your package last Monday and I love it! Thank you so much!! I miss you and pray for you every day. I'll see you all in a few months!
Love,
Elder Thayne
