Comments on the Election and Progressing towards Baptism

OK ... I've been terribly slow getting this updated. My friend just posts his son's letters on the blog, and so I'm going to do that, unless I get the time to edit some and make sense of what is in the letter (since he answers questions that you don't see posed). So, here is the latest letter from Josh:

i cant vote todd richardson so i dont know if its vale la pena...but ill get 'er done and i do believe that in this i wont be like my people (los hispanos) and vote for obama...that dang smuck won all of the hispanics over with the fact that he dosent care about immagration or something like that and i have heard alot of sweawage that he has said that i can preach aginst....so when the darnded mexicans say "yay obama" i say..."thou shalt not be fooled by false words of a man who dosent love the lord of isrial..." and then that convo is over...
and that is all i will say about politics for the rest of this....
but other than that i cant even believe that you can dare to say that ty and jacob write more than me...last week you cant imagin the anger i had when the dang comp crashed and i have sat and typed as much as i posibly could for as long as i could every single week trying as hard as i can to write alot for you...
so as i make my lil fingerrs bleed trying every way i cant to type to you so that you might one day be proud to say"i got the biggest letter" i do realize how dumb and stumpy my fingers are so i get hit with the truth that it probally wont happen...haha
jeeze, you type so many questions that i dont know who w to answer what you want and still whrit about here...and when i dont answer your questions i get rebuked and when i get them all answered i get rebuked for not putting in enought about investagators...rrrrrrrrrr
ok, i sent the pics cus the last time i was at the libaray i was typing so long that i didnt have time to burn a cd withthe pics so yea...iam glad you liked them but i will get a disc later...sorry...some things are just hard to do...
and the as for pants i think mom has got it figured out. and shoes are a sweet deal,and contacts if you have been able to get them yet...but also something kinda happened and i kinda needed 10 dollars for a lil food to hold me up for a lil bit cus veronica had a problem beacuse the boss of her husband isnt getting him paied and they needed help with there bills or there were going to loose alot and so i kinda used my money to help them out...and things will be ok beacuse iam going to be makeing pan today but 10 would help with some escencials like contact sloution and toothpaste.
thank you you guys.
as for investagoators we have a date! his name is maricel and he will be baptized on the 2nd of november!
also we are getting veronica and fransisco married leagely so that they can get baptized...this was a weird thing cus they have a kid and call each other husband and wife but arnt married and there is a huge weird twisted loopy story that goes with iit all...but in the end you can just wrap it up with saying "silly lil mexicanos" but we really need that you say 2 prayers a day for them to be protected from satanas beacuse he is really smacking them arround now that there getting close to baptism...
also tenemos un oltro amigo who is progressing towards baptizim named antonio. he is a stud who kinda remiinds me of uncle kirk ...just a TON shorter...but he is a really sincear studly man that we gave a blessing to on our first day with him.
and then also we have a grounp of 6 tobacco workers from mex. that we travel out to dover TN to go see and a argentinian man we are goign to start seeing in hopkinsville and iam pretty stoked about that cus i south americanian people are way chill...and usually legal...haha.
but just to clarify, i LOVE mexicans...so just cus i havent met a legal one yet dosent change the fact that i love 'em.
the branch is growing a lil...we had a few ppl move back to mexico really quickly and without notice...but other than that its good. we are working really hard withthe familys and they are the best coolist familys that i have ever know in my gosh darn life! the branch is sweet! no hay un que es mas mejor! y no puede darme una coima que pagaria por un oltro.
i love you guys, its time for me to ajorn away! until another day!
