Week 2 of kidney stone in the stead thereof

This week was hard. Nothing got done because we were trying to figure out what to do with Elder Felix so that I could go out an work and a lot of the time we were just chilling at home waiting for him to pass his kidney stone. So our numbers this week were just terrible. I expect a call later tonight from AP McConkie asking what the freak was going on. It's funny Preach My Gospel teaches us on page 10 that we're not suppose to compare ourselves to other missionaries, and that in the end numbers don't matter as long as you're trying your hardest, which is 100% true. But it's hard to tell people that when you have a bad week and get a call and told to do better. It's just annoying. 
Thu Ha didn't get baptized yesterday because she wanted her daughter to be to her baptism. The only real reason we moved it was because I felt the Spirit to tell me that we should move it a week to the 22nd. We want want her non-member daughter to be there at her baptism because that would greatly increase her daughter's interest in the church and may even lead to her own baptism. She was originally going to get baptized on April 5, but that was way far out. She's been meeting with missionaries since about November. She should have been baptized before I even got into the area. We might even drop her, because if she thinks that she can just keep pushing it off, she will and we'll either never get baptized or it will be when it's most convenient for her. Heads up, Thu Ha. GOD DOESN'T DO THINGS WHEN THEY'RE CONVENIENT FOR YOU. THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT A SACRIFICE AND BRINGS BLESSINGS. Elder Jeffery R. Holland taught: "I am convinced that [membership] is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience. Salvation never was easy. We are The Church of Jesus Christ, this is the truth, and He is our Great Eternal Head. How could we believe it would be easy for us when it was never, ever easy for Him? It seems to me that [members] have to spend at least a few moments in Gethsemane. [Members] have to take at least a step or two toward the summit of Calvary". It's just hard to see people not get that even when you've taught it the most plain way you can. It's hard because people out here having been halfheartedly been going to church their whole lives. They've been living the Gospel to their understanding and that understanding is deeply rooted in them, so it's hard for them to wrap their head around being asked to take more steps, be more committed, make real sacrifices. Same with Grant and Gavin. Their mom has pretty much given us full permission to teach them and baptize them, but they're just not sure and aren't willing to take steps to be sure about it. 
So this week might be a drop week where we drop our entire investigator pool. It take a lot of faith, but it sometimes needs to be done.
