Yes I'm Still Alive ;), Three New And Anti Included, First Timers FHE, Mission Reboot
So, sorry about the past two weeks. My emails didn't send for whatever
reason last Monday, so I had to resend them all and I forgot to tell Ya
of a small detail that Pday, was changed for today since we had a big
meeting with some Seventies yesterday which I will get to in a moment
so sorry about all that.
I can tell that this week already is lookin to weird and wild since
the change of Pdays so we will see next weeks report won't we now?
Well I'll get to this past weeks events and won't hold Ya up any
longer :).
So in reports we picked up three new investigators last week which was
really nice. The first guy is named Angel and he is probably in his
mid to late twenties but I'm not to sure. We had originally found him
through his sister who we haven't seen since when she asked us if we
believed in the Holy Spirit. Well when we said yes that interested him
since most people he talks to say that they don't believe in it. So it
was a bit of an interesting lesson. We had both forgotten a Book of
Mormon so when we got in there we really couldn't go with the
restoration since we couldn't give it to him haha. Also he has a gift
for the gab and just went on and on as we got to know him and his
beliefs and as such, we just watched "The Will of God", Mormon Message,
which he liked.
Our other two new investigators are Desirae and Moses.... Moses kinda
being on the iffy side... So Desirae originally ordered a bible and we
asked if we could come back. That day every other appointment had
fallen through including that one but being a bit stubborn we came
back a little later to find her and Moses. Moses wasn't really apart
of the discussion until the end but Desirae seems to have a lot of
potential.
We reached the part where Joseph Smith was in the grove and found out
about which church to join when Moses had a few troubles with the fact
that we believe that there is only one true church and that he needed
to be baptized. Cornelius on pins and needles very lovingly and calmly
did not allow him to get his wish for a complete bash >:3! We showed
scripturally every point we made after that and with the finishing
touch I used the scripture in John where Jesus states that we need to
be baptized by water and the spirit hahahahaha!
He backed down a moment and said maybe I do need to get baptized....
And then wouldn't accept a Book of Mormon after he agreed that people
need to find out by the spirit whether or not things are true :P. He
did take a pamphlet though so upon our next visit we will see if we
drop or keep him depending on what he attempts to do. Anyways...
On Friday we spent pretty much the whole day moving sister Wasco and
her daughter Sharry. We started our adventure at eight in the morning
and didn't get home till six since it was forever away from there
original apartment, all the way down to the moving van, but we got it
done and it felt good to do, Ya!!
Saturday we had football as usual and that was a lot of fun. There was
ice all over the turf so I cut my right calf up a bit but on the other
hand I scored two touch downs in the first game so I Will take what I
can get ;). I need to get better at catching long passes though. Just
not very good at judging those and then Nabbing them :/.
Later that evening we showed Jen and her family how to have family
home evening which was a lot of fun but really crazy. We played
monopoly, which I still don't know how to play, since no one ever
explained it to me :/. The only thing that marred this experience was
that we got a call from Mike saying his Mom was stuck down in North
Carolina so the rest of the evening was taken up focusing on that.
Jenn kept asking what is this for? (FHE) and by the end of it she loved
it so hopefully we can make it a weekly thing ;). Our goal is, though
Jenn won't be baptized mormon yet, we are going to get her at least
living the lifestyle ;).
Sunday was mostly uneventful and now for yesterday. We had Elder Evans
from the first quorum of the seventy and Elder Allen who's a seventy
of sorts. The whole mission was together for the first time in five
plus years.... We got news about iPads. That
facebook will be down for the next month and a half to two months, we
received the draft books for the online missionary handbooks, and for
the next four to five hours reiterating rules but that's ok, they had
a good sense of humor so it wasn't terrible. And that about sums up
the week.
