Over a year!

Well I have been out over a year... and on my year mark day guess what I did????? nope didn't party or burn anything or go for food a fancy place.... I sat in a leadership meeting for like 8 hours. I am not bitter or upset or anything... its just not how most missionaries spend their year mark day hahah. 

So lets see...saturday we went on unexpected exchanges with the AP's... some other missionaries had to switch their exchanges so we got to go instead. I was in Rancho again but this time with with Elder Hancock. There was a missionary that had just come in from Chile with us as well because it is the middle of transfer. We had a great day it was cool to be back with Elder Hancock again.

Douglas- he is well he has decided to hold off on baptism for a while... but we are still going to try and teach him and get him there.

Brad- didn't get to see him a gain

Joe and Alicia - they came to church again!!! They will need to get married... but they should be baptized on the 5 of December.

Kelly- Elder Markham and Elder Findlay saw them on exchanges. 

Jeff- he is doing good we just read with him... he won't be able to be baptized on the date we set... but he is still super awesome and solid. we are hoping to start teaching his three kids.

I think that is it... this week we made a casserole that Presidents wife gave us a recipe for... it was awesome!! I don't have a picture sorry... but I do have one of exchanges!

Less than a year left.....

well this week was really weird... like really

So we taught a lot but it seemed like we didn't teach at all. 

Douglas- We taught him the baptism standards and he committed to baptism... but then he didn't come to church... so we are going to have to figure out what is going on. 

Brad- didn't get to see him this week

Jeff- He is a guy from like a while ago... he committed to baptism... but then he talked to friends and decided he had concerns... so we went back and  resolved said concerns and now he is back on date... unfortunately he couldn't come to church but he should be there next week!

Joe and Alicia- they are the referral from the sisters. We were able to teach them the restoration and committed them to baptism! They came to church and we are seeing them tomorrow!

Kelly- hahahah what a guy haha we helped him understand the Resurrection and the need for faith.

Geovani- cool part member guy. Hi wife is less-active. We taught him the plan of salvation... it went ok he just needs to actually commit.

On Thursday I had the glorious opportunity to be back on exchanges with Elder Depew. He was my second comp and he is now one of my district leaders. It was a great day... but we didn't teach any one.

On Wednesday we had our ward Halloween party... Me and Elder Markham went as each other. hahah no one really noticed.

Also as of Oct 31 I have less than a year left.... weird... really weird

here is some of the chicken we made hahah

Sick week

So this week was hard.... me and Elder Markham were both sick which meant we didn't get to proselytize much. I got an ear infection, but thanks to ear drops and a priesthood blessing I am feeling much better!

So investigators

Douglas: He is well. He dumped his female friend after we taught the law of chastity. Quote "She wasn't that nice to me anyway" hahaha so that was good. He has only come to church once, so we taught keep the Sabbath day holy and at the end committed him to come to church and he was like "no its cool i'll just come after my baptism"... so that was sad... have to figure that one out. 

Brad: had a lesson with him as well. He is doing well, but he is spending more time with his parents ( which is a really good thing) on weekends which means he can't come to church. Also he thinks that the law of chastity is unlivable in the day and age.

Martin: didn't get to see him this week. He called us 10 minutes before the our appointment with him and said he had been called in early to work :(

Sam and Charlene: our appointment is next week.

Johnny and Kelly: Our lesson with them went pretty good. We show up to teach and kelly is like "Wait! can my friend join us?" of course. so he goes and gets his friend from the backroom and it is a less active guy (Trent) hahah. It was really great because Trent was able to help johnny and Kelly understand the plan of salvation better. Kelly is still afraid to die though. We committed them to church.... but when we showed up to get them ready they were like "nah not this week guys" so that was also sad.

The sisters did give a referral for a couple named Joe and Alicia. they live just around the corner from us. the sisters got them to church on their first try... so they must be doing something better than us. Sadly they had to leave early because Joe had to go to the hospital with high blood pressure.

But he is still alive!

the picture is of the moon and a cool ring around it... kinda hard to see #NotTheBestPicture
