Oi Minha Familha

How goes it my family and friends?
The past week has been pretty awesome and pretty lame all in one. We were out teaching a lot, and were able to accomplish our lesson goals. There are a number of people that we are working towards baptism, but none of them are really making much progress. They all seemed to have reached the point where they have to make a sacrifice of some sort to be baptized and they aren't willing to make it. We will continue to work with them, but there may come the time where we have to say that we can't come over anymore if they aren't going to listen to what we have to say.
We have several investigators who see us as friends and want us to hang out, but they don't seem to realize that first and foremost we are representatives of Jesus Christ and we have work to do. So that is a little frustrating, but it hasn't dampened my spirits.
We had Aspen come to church this week. She's about 13 and her family is less active. We've been teaching her, and trying to get her to commit to baptism, but she doesn't seem too interested. We got a call from the bishop saying that he had a ride for her for church and that they'd be at her house at five to one, so without any argument the bishop got Aspen to church. Hopefully she felt the spirit that was there and will want to come back.
I don't think I said it before so I'll explain it now. Elder Hancock and I are over the town of Lovell, covering the areas of the Lovell 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th wards. The sister missionaries cover the Lovell 3rd, Cowley and Byron Wards.
We have very long sundays with going to four wards and by the fourth ward I'm usually nodding, but I'm getting better. 
With the immunity boost package you've sent I've been doing better. I've been taking a lot of zinc and emergen-C packs. I haven't had the opportunity to buy yogurt yet but I'll do that later today.
Love you all and I'll talk to you next week.
Love,
Elder David Short
