Man, it was a pretty good week. The family, that went to church last
week, came again! And also 2 other investigators. How great!! But yeah
this family is named the Polanco Family. But yesterday we had a lesson
with them and there was something interesting that the mom said. She
said that she had a few questions, and we were thinking ¨oh man...¨ but
then she just asked why people werent paying attention at church. She
said ¨I understand the little kids... thats normal for them to be a
little loud and uncontrolable. No one expects them to pay attention! But
it was a little hard to focus when ADULTS were talking and making
sounds and just not focusing. They were talking about important things,
but it seemed like they just didnt care.¨ She opened my eyes on that
one. WHY DO WE GO TO CHURCH IF WE DO NOT WANT TO GET ANYTHING OUT OF
IT?!?! It is pretty interesting. She said that if people dont want to be
there, they shouldnt go. I explained a little bit about the sacrement,
and also we talked a little bit about sometimes it becomes just a habit
to go to church, like whatever happens doesnt really matter. We know we
should go, but we dont take advantage. PEOPLE ARE WATCHING!! If you dont
want to pay attention, at least act like it because you dont know what
kind of influence that will have on someone else.
Also, i got a few emails about Chickenguya or whatever
its called, and yeah I am trying to remember my bug repellant. Actually,
I wrote about the hard life that our Ward Mission Leader is living, and
he got this sickness. We went to his house and he could barely move.
Dont you all worry about me, I am doing all I can to avoid it. Our house
doesnt have too many mosquitos, which is pretty lucky, but youve got to
be careful!!
It has been a pretty good time this week. IT is
pretty crazy that this is the last email that Austin will read from the
mission, if he even reads it, I would just like to publicly thank him
for his good example and the fun times that I had being on the mission
with him. Even though we were in different parts of the world, we were a
lot closer in this last year than when he was at BYU or when I was at
school and he was on the mission. He is a great man and I cannot wait to
hear about his future successes. He might have lost his hops and his
ripped muscles, but he has grown and toned himself down spiritually.
WHAT A BOSS!! Love you Austin!! NOTHINGS TO EXHAUSTIN FOR
AUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you all!!
Elder Murphy
