This week was a wild ride - September 18, 2017

MONDAY: we went to a nice birthday dinner, ate a real nice burger, then we did our monthly deep clean of the apartment. Really not a lot to report on. 

Tuesday. that was a day I won't forget for a long time. Basically i wont go in to to much detail, but we had an apointment with a less active, and we found her uncoincious as her family was waiting on the ambulence. She had drank something she shouldn't have, she is like 30. so we gave a blessing and waiting with her family. We didn't know weather she lived or died until thursday, when she called us and wanted to see us, she was out of  the hospital and wanted to talk with us, thank us, and get a new book of mormon so she could bring it to church sunday, since she figured that was the only thing that could help her with her struggles. So we did that, and promised to send her uplifting scriptures each night. After 2 days of that we get a text saying "I appriciate what you've done to help me, but I dont want to keep seeing you guys" we said ok, sadly, but we told her we'd still say hi at church, then she said, i wont be comming, delete my numbers and tell the bishop to remove my records. then she vanished. we don't know what happened, and we never will. so that sucks

But back to tuesday. After that whole thing we were driving along and saw a guy with some super nice jordan shoes. so we talked to him, and turns out hes a less active. so we started seeing him. 

Wednesday was exchanges with district Leader Elder Hamilton, the guy who's liceince was stolen. so I had to drive again. that was fun. Taught a blind guy named brother Issac who will be baptized next week. met a family with super cute puppies. 

sorry, computer was wigging out had to move to a new one. 

So Wednesday we met the family with super cute puppies, taught them about a liahona article called 'the gospel path to happiness.' i wont spoil anything since i want you all to read it. it's in the september issue, you can look it up on the gospel library app. 

Thursday, was when all that other stuff happened, and we met with a guy named coleburn. This guy was so mentally destroyed by drugs its insane. He pulls us over and talks about how he grew up "worshiping mormon" and loves the church, but how one day he started seeing airplanes and that was his sign that the universal christian church was the right church, and all this stuff about how different airplanes are signs from God and the Devil, and all this other insanity about they're alititudes and stuff. 

So yeah that was fun.

Every Thursday we have dinner with a member named Sister Velly. Super sweet old lady, retired school teacher, long time member. we had pap and chicken with fries. shared a message about Nephis Psalm. its 2 Nephi 4: 16- the end of the chapter. Read it its a good one. 

Friday was Exchanges with AP Darley in Sunnyside, the big metropolotan sub section of Petoria. Met some cool people, had a powerful 1st lesson with a guy named Evens, he lives with a RM and wanted to know more about the Book of Mormon. so we told him, spirit was strong, he was so into it. Hes buddy the Rm, Antonio, was super helpful. We then ate some awesome beef stew and rice at that wards bishops house. Talked about how we could help the ward

Saturday, we met with a lot of members, mostly less actives and talked about the upcoming general conference and what times the ward will be showing them. I will get to watch both morning sessions live at 6 pm. so thats funny. 

Sunday was a good meeting we had 6 of our Investigators show up, 3 of which were new. 


very spiritual week, but also a very demanding week, 2 exchanges, a lot of apointments, and the who tuesday thing. but the work is true, and we are making progress. so yeah.

I just realized i forgot my camera at the flat, so sorry there are no pictures. WOOPS.

look up that talk, its way way good
