Hello
This has been a very exciting week with lots of stuff happening. To start off we have gotten two new investigators which are way sweet. Our first one is a man by the name of Joe Talmney. We taught him and he was super prepared to the fact that he was asking questions that would lead into the next part of the lesson. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he is excited to read it and he is going to get it on the computer. It's awesome. Also with Joe when we got there he had sandwiches and juice and all this waiting for us. So he was excited for it all, way way cool experience.
The next one is a lady by the name of Sarah. Sarah was a lady that Elder Headington found while I was serving with him, but he found him on an exchange. We had been trying to set up an appointment with her for a long time but she always had something going on. We thought she was always dodging us. Well Elder Bruce sets up an appointment with her and we got to teach her and that went really well, she also had been really prepared. Come to find out she had been worked on by the Bowens our bishops family and it payed off because she wants to know some more and she says she is going to do everything read, pray, the whole shebang.
It's raining a lot lately, but luckily not to hard, harder then back home but light for here. The really nice thing is the wind has not been blowing it sideways. I don't know if you remember but in the movie Braveheart there is a part where William Wallace is riding a horse in the rain, it shows what the rain is like here, but ours is colder because we get it first and then it moves to Scotland.
Well here is some exciting stuff that happened yesterday; my credit card for my mission got eaten because the machine powered off while I was using it. We go in to the shop and try to figure out what's going on and they tell us we are the third person that had happened to, so because the people were too stupid to put up an out of order sign the first time, my card was eaten. So sorry mom but I have to buy groceries today with my personal funds.
And one last crazy thing that happened on Monday was the Jehovah witnesses blitzed our area. Another wards about 20 of their missionaries tracted all the houses by our flat which is going to slow down the work right close by us. Not only that they tracted our door and we caught them in the act and told them nobody was in that house and they said how do we know and we told them because that's the house we live in. They said oh, then we talked for a while, they were nice but obviously still not too interested in what we do. Oh well I guess I won't be baptizing any J dogs any time soon.
I'm doing well, the work is getting a lot more rewarding now that we have a large teaching pool. I love to teach it's what makes all the walking in the cold rain worth it. I love you all dearly and miss you. Tell Dusty and Cody thanks for their emails and I will try to get to them next time. This time I didn't have enough time because I had so many emails to read. But love you all
