How goes it? Well another week has flown by and we have been super busy! So we had given a 7 day challenge to Troy Leavitt. He is a member in 12th ward. A 7-day is where we challenge them to find some one for us to teach in their home in 7 days. So on Sunday we taught two separate people at his house and then on Monday we taught two more people. All this from one 7 day challenge! He is a way solid member missionary and he is my example of what I want to be like when I get home. The first person we taught was a guy who is a born again and is really set in his ways. He kinda wanted to teach us more than for us to teach him, but he is a really nice guy, and we are teaching him again this next Sunday. Right after that lesson we taught a girl (this was like 10 minutes after the other guys had left, we only had like 5 minutes to eat dinner Sunday night haha) and she is really nice. She was receptive but not really wanting to make any commitments. Troy was the one who tried to set a date for baptism for her but she was kind of back peddling a little. She wasn't even to sure on wanting to make another appt.
The first lesson on Monday was with a lady, and we again taught her at Troy's house and it went well. We taught her the second lesson and she even got a little emotional about talking about past experiences with religion but she is not by any means against it. The second person we taught on Monday was a guy who is an interesting fellow.. he has been through a lot in his life, some of it really crazy. We tried to get a Baptismal date and he also said no, but we got him thinking about it! The only unfortunate thing is that not one of these people live in our area so we had to hand them over to other missionaries, but as long as they are being taught I'm OK with it.
So what else happened this week?.... oh ya, we helped out lot with service this last week. We helped a couple people move and some others clean up stuff and take it to the dump. On Saturday, we didn't get in our suits till about 7:30 that night cause we where just constantly helping people with stuff, it was a lot of fun... because I didn't get into a tie all day!
So that's about been our week, today we went to the temple as a zone and it was fun. The Hamilton's from Heritage ward took us, that's why I'm emailing later in the day. The weather here sucks right now because it's raining/wet snow. It is not fun to be in and it's going to get worse over the next couple days... but it should warm up next week. Well I love you all and miss ya tons!
