Well one more week has passed by and it sure does seem like things have been going really good for you guys and that you guys have been having a ton of fun. Which is good, i hope that things can continue to go good for you guys. I sure do miss home and now that it is getting closer and closer i am starting to get trunkier and trunkier. But my companion and i are trying to stay pretty busy and it has been working. We have been working our butts off. But we just arent having any good results. We pass the entire day working hard in the hottest month of the year here and we dont have any investigator progressing very well. So we are just going to continue to do our part and hope that some time in the future we will be blessed with some elects. But we have been having some experiences that have been a little bit different. We have been really struggling with Carla and Marcio lately. The couple that was suppossed to get married this month. They have been fighting a ton and have been having a lot of difficulties. And we really have no idea what to do. We might have to stop visiting them, but i hope not. A couple of days ago we had a really weird experience at their house. We went there and we starting talking about the impostance of the family and how they can have a better family. We took with us a little booklet that the church made that helps with that and we decided to read a little bit of it with them. So we did.......but something weird happened. During the lesson Carla started acting really weird. She started looking at us really weird like she had never seen us before and she was breathing weird and looking at everything in the house really weird. But we kept teaching and didnt really think anything of it. But she kept doing the same thing and she was grabbing her head like she had a headache and she was crying so Marcio put something on her forehead to help her out. But at the end of the lesson we decided to just say a prayer. And after the prayer she like woke up and started asking us if we were going to give a lesson and a bunch of questions. So we had to explain to her that we already gave the lesson and that we had finished and that she was acting weird and she said that she didnt remember anything. And the other thing is that we felt a terrible feeling while she was acting weird. Like satan was in the room trying to get in the way of this family. Like he doesnt want us to help them. But it was a horrible feeling. I have already felt it a couple od times in my life and i would have to say that it is the worst feeling. After we left my companion said that he felt the samething and that he didnt like it. It was really weird so we left out telephone number with them just in case anything happened. But yeah.......the mission is full of weird experiences.I also went on splits yesterday with my district leader and that was pretty cool. I worked in his area that doesnt have any hills so i was able to rest a little bit from my area. Because my area is full of hills and i hate it. I have never felt so tired in all the time that i have passed here. It sucks! But we are really working hard and just have some struggles. We arent teaching Josemar any more. Because we cant find him at home. But hopefully some other elders will be able to run into him and help him out.But yeah i think that i am going to cut this letter a little short because i really dont have anything else to say. Because nothing has really been going on, just that we are trying to fix the relationship that the missionaries do not have with the members here and you know how important it is that the missionaries have a great relationship witht the members. So we are trying to find out where all the members live to be able to visit them and start a relationship in this area. But i am definetly jealous to hear that you went to the temple and Costa Vida. I miss those two places soooo much. And it has been the longest time since i talked with Jen and i cannot believe that she is married. How weird is that? The next time you go there you will have to tell her to write me and let me know how she is doing. Because i wrote her twice and she never wrote me back the little butt. And i was way excited to hear that BYU won. That is awesome, but i just hope that this year doesnt turn out like last year, thy started out the season really good and then they started to slip. And ended up not having such a good year. But i just thought that i would let everyone know that i am starting to get really trunky and it is making the mission really difficult. Because the time is starting to pass really slow and i want to know what the cure is for trunkiness. Because it is going to end up killing me. But yeah i love you all and i miss you all as well. I hope that all is well and if you can, try and write me a little bit more. I am starting to feel like i am not that very important to you guys anymore. But i love you all and i hope that you all have a great week. You will have to tell my how dallas is doing too. I love you and her name will stay a secret. I dont even know how you guys found out that i am writing her. But yeah.....they are just letters. Its not like i am planning on marrying her or anything but when those plans are made i will let you know who she is.
With Love,Elder Spotts
