Hola fam, how has your week been?

Lets see for good old bryce its been super dupy crazy i have been peeding for milagros and as for this week i have seen so many its so exausting that it actually drains me to the point i calapse on the floor and sleep at night without a problem. Lets see at the begining of the week i was at a house with our investigator and things were horrible everything that you could imagine that is bad was passing on in there house. First of all josefina told us about what had been happening upstairs and that she was being atacked at night and that things were being moved and that they feel like there is some evil presence that is telling them they are going to be killed. So i started asking about playing cards, movies, and music that is in there house. We found some saddening news, that you dont need to know. My companion and i went up stairs and like hitting cold air i felt the presence of satan looking at the grafiti covered walls and darkness walking further all the down the hall where the things had been going on. There i felt strongly to kneel and pray for guidence i felt… and knew what to do as many times before rebuke satan and his followers out of the house. Immediatly we felt and emptiness in the room like it had been filled with extra air and all the extra air left in a moment. Then we went down stairs and blessed the house with the family we put a baptism date with josefina and her son. The next day we swung by to check in on them and found her car loaded up with things. Josefina came down the stairs crying and let us in and wanted to talk to us….. and what now i was thinking to myself. She explained the deal or better situation that her husband was actually married to another women still and last night explained that he really wants her to be able to be baptized and so is moving out until october when he will have his divorce all taken care of… the poor thing she was so confused at what to do she wanted to be baptized but didnt want to seperate and 2 minutes after that she wanted us to kick him out and never see him again and on and on well to make it short ya she chose the right thing to do and even quit smoking. Haha other than that i had like 8 other things happen like find 2 other families that are awesome and am just dead tired of running the ward i am in. I bear witness that this awesome work is so worth it. Every day i ask myself am i cleaner than yesterday did i sin less, did i help more, did i get lost in the work? And these last few weeks its been on my mind constantly to really do my best and be more pure. I ask all that read this letter to really think about what you are doing everyday to be closer to god, i am afraid to be so frank with all of you but your little prayers and scripture reading just dont cut it in this world we live in. It requires a full conversion to take that step completely out of the dark. You all like bad things you all have sins, those velvet sins that we dont give up and continue living in. I hope you all remeber that your brother Jesus Christ died for that pathetic little velvet sin.

Also remember to repent, i remember living with all of you and now seeing that as a family we have all had the problem of bringing up past sins reminising….. opening up those ancient wounds the the son of god died to heal. Also something you can all do is start trusting that people have repented and let them progress, because your not god, and well he has forgiven them and trusts them….you have no right to judge.

Please take this seriously and do it. Also one more little thing i dont know if you have allready done it or not but i would recomend blessing your houses. All of your ex missionary husbands should now how, dad also. You all have a wonderful week.

Love Elder Schall
