Querida família,
This week passed by really fast, and not much happened. Saturday we had a talent show in the church but before the show the young men and women sold soup and tapioca to raise money for the campout that they always do during Carnival. The talent show was pretty funny. There is a permagater here that is crazy and for his talent he recited a poem that he wrote. Afterward Elder Shelton beat-boxed while the crazy rapped about Americans. Everyone was laughing.
Thursday we had a special training with President Hall and when we were returning to our area the bishop called us and told us to pass in his house before lunch. We went there and he told us that a girl in the ward had a devil. I have met two people that have problems with "devils" and both of them have epilepsy as well. When a person has a severe siezure is it possible that they start to talk and act like they are a different person or that there is an evil spirit in them? They ended up taking her to the hospital because nothing they did made her get better. We called President Hall because the members were doing a lot of wierd, apostate things and yelling, and he told us that he didn't want us to stay there so we left. It was a pretty wierd experience.
We talked to a 20-year-old member girl who has been missing church alot. Her younger sisters are member and she was really active when she was younger. We talked to her about going on a mission and she cried. I like it when people cry while we teach. When the members here don't have some goal to reach they always stop going to church. All of us need to have goals to keep us working.
Gotta go,
Elder Jay
