GGGGGGOOOOOOD morning everyone it is
another Monday and another week has past and it has been a great one! First
week of a new transfer that looks like it's going to be fantastic with Elder
Jensen and Elder Jensen! Sounds like a law firm, but that's ok we just want to
talk to you about religion.
So this week first off funny
tracting story we were in like the sketchy outskirts of Hebron again right
where it seems like your average axe murderer would live and we knocked on
someone's door (they actually had like a nice house in the middle of the woods)
and so a lady answered and she was getting ready to deny us and say she was
catholic, ya know the usual, and then her husband comes behind her in the
doorway and says "are those the Jehovah’s Witnesses or the crack
hookups!?" and she was like "sorry he does this every time" and
I yelled to him "yeah sorry to bother, we're just some representatives
from the Jehovah’s Witness church here to sell you some crack."
The dude burst out laughing and told
us we were funny and went back inside. So then we told the wife we were kidding
told her who we really were and she was like oh I'm catholic I'm good and then
the door opened again and it looked like her husband threw a cigar out and she
was like "Jeff! Ugh. I know what he's doing -- not again." Anyway
this thing ended up being a firecracker and it exploded and it was so loud and
Elder Jensen and I looked at each other like "who are these people!" Then
she told us she wasn't interested haha and that was the end of the contact. So
that was interesting and you find some interesting people in the middle of
nowhere places.
Well this week church started at
12:00 because there was a stake priesthood meeting that we didn't have to go to
and so Elder Jensen and I went to a church called Bethel early in the morning
before ours. It's like this big rock band church haha I went there with one of
our investigators once but Elder Jensen hadn't experienced it and so now he
did. It just builds my testimony every time I go to a different church! Worldly
churches say eat drink and be merry and sign up for baptism this Tuesday if you
want and everyone claps their hands and says “Praise God, all is well,
hallelujah.” It is an experience and I would invite everyone to check out
another church, it can be a testimony builder if you let it.
So we've been teaching a girl named
Catelynn who has literally read all of PMG on gospel library so she knows all
the lessons and she's like the most solid person ever. She should be getting
baptized soon and we're way pumped for her. She's so awesome and I don't think
I've ever met someone who has understood the gospel and picks it up as well as
she does! It’s been a real privilege being able to teach her!
Oh this week also our church choir
performed and I thought everyone was laughing at me in the audience because I
was singing really loud but they just said I looked like it was the funnest
thing ever. It was pretty fun. Don't tell my dad but I actually enjoy being in
the ward choir at the church but partially because I don't really know what I'm
doing. So now we get to sing in the adult session of stake conference because
I'm not sure but yeah so one more performance in two weeks wish Jensen twins
luck.
We taught Seminary again this
morning which was pretty fun. We gotta wake up early but you know it's worth
it!
We had a crazy windy day yesterday
and it makes a whistling sound in our apartment and it's so loud so that was
pretty funny
Oh and I got sick this last week
which was kinda lame I probably survived off of Emergen-c but made it through
thank you modern medicine.
Oh quick spiritual moment reading in
Helaman this week and at the end of Matthew and if you want to know what a true
prophet is read Helaman 13:25-28. And in Matthew love the Bible love the
scriptures and I am grateful for my Savior!
I think that's about this week in a
nutshell! Love you everyone and keep enjoying life because there is so much to
enjoy!
