This is the first week that the missionaries were able to call home on p-day. Our call was actually very productive as we were able to talk about Jackson's plans for school and take care of a couple of other things. Much easier than trying to do it through email.
Jackson reported that they had to drop all but two of their investigators because they aren’t progressing. The two left are Ronnie, who is deaf and Destiny who is getting baptized this Saturday. They had to move Ronnie's baptism back because they can’t teach him often enough. There is someone who knows sign language in another ward, but she can’t help them more than about once a week. Jackson said he can have small conversations with him and then he just guesses what he is saying.
He is in an English ward with only about 25 hispanics. Only 3 don’t speak English, so he isn’t speaking much Spanish right now. They are there to try to find more Spanish speaking investigators.
He also said he is no longer driving - Elder Powell has taken over. He said he’s been driving for a long time and he needs a break, because the roads and drivers are crazy. He said there is a sign in Columbia that keeps track of auto fatalities for the year and at the end of last year there were 1,0006.
That about covers it.
