The Norm 7/9/12

Dear Family and Friends, This week was kind of average. We are just trying to motivate people to do things that are good for them. Its like trying to get a little kid to take vitamins. We are preparing one nice lady for her baptismal interview this week. Her name is Holga. We had a Family Home Evening last week and she invited the entire street. And they all came. We had like 20 people crammed in her house. We started a spiritual thought about the love of God and the purpose of the Atonement, and the few members just took it from there. Then we sang a bunch of hymns, had refreshments, and played a game that i taught them called ¨grunt piggy grunt¨. Basically one person is blindfolded and hits people with a pillow and tells them to grunt. Then he guesses who grunted. Its hilarious. Then my companion taught them a game similar to hot potato, but when you get caught with the object you have to dance like an animal. It was super fun. Transfer calls are this sunday, but i will most likely stay here and finish training elder ccansaya. he is a great elder with a heart of gold. i honestly think he is more of a blessing for me than i am for him. it is rebuilding my faith in the missionaries. Lets just say that my district has lots of problems. Its been a crazy transfer, but i´m staying positive hahaha. Elder Nichols
