"On Tuesday the Young Men have mutual and they never start with a spiritual thought...which tells us a lot about why only 4 of our 25 young men are active...anyway, we decided to start teaching them before they go out and play fútbol and it was quite the experience. We went to the church and waited for all the boys to arrive and then one by one they filed in with really confused looks on their faces. The branch president explained to them that from now on, if you didn't listen to the missionaries you wouldnt play fútbol. They seemed a little bit ticked but once we got into the lesson the non-member boys started participating and all committed to pray to know if Joseph Smith was a prophet. Tomorrow we will see how it all turned out."
Excerpt from March 22nd email:
"Things are still great with the boys that come and play soccer on Tuesdays. Last Tuesdays lesson was our best yet and it was fun to see all the non-member boys participate. At one point we were talking about the 5 steps of the Gospel that we need to accomplish in order to live again with Heavenly Father and when I asked what the 5th one was one of the boys raised his hand and said, MARRIAGE??? We all busted up laughing and I explained that even though that was VERY important, it wasn't one of the steps...in a way it is, but I didn't want to get into too deep of doctrine. We have seen some good results with the boys who are members as well and they are coming to church more frequently. It makes me happy to see Parque progressing."
