Dear Family,
Well this week was a bit slower. We had to go inside early on
Thursday and Friday for Halloween and mischief night. On friday a
member made us go with him to help him buy an I pad because he wants
to be just like the missionaries. Good ole Agusto. We had a branch
party that didnt get a big show up. They almost tried to blame us but
then didn't because we made the kids happy. We ran races and played
limbo and stuff it was really good. Its starting to get cold out here
but we are prepared. We are going to see what will happen this week
with transfers. We are doing our best to help the Mexican village of
Bridgeton grow into a place filled with truth. This week people tried
to get after us a little bit but it is okay because we have the truth.
Some people get mad when we say that this is the only true church
but that's the way it is. I have found that my desire to help people
comes from not hiding the truth at all, but just letting people know what
it is that leads them to eternal life. I'm sure it wasn't popular for
Christ to say that He was the way to heaven but that's how it is. I
learned something interesting from the Latin bible. When they use the
word Offendit the translation actually comes out stumble so when
people get offended by the truth they become their own stumbling
block. But naturally we have to be kind when stating the truth. Haha.
The gospel is true and I find that we live it best when we try to
share it. I feel that if everyone lived with missionary work in mind
obedience to the commandments would easily come because every
principle you teach causes inward reflection and no one likes to be an
open hypocrite. Love you all
Elder Jesse M Killpack
