Dear family and friends,
Mom, I got the package. Peanut m&ms...nice touch. They are great! Love the
ties. That is awesome for Kelsey to be driving now, I’m glad I am in the northwest. Except, they drive like chimpanzees here. Bad. Wow! Region as a Sophomore, Kelsey! More protein should get those times down even more. Good job! Kylee, next time in a game, shoulder check some body. You have five
Fouls, use them. Sounds like everyone had a crazy week. Yay for Carlie! (Alex’s cousin Carlie went to the MTC last week.)
Anyway this was another great week. In answer to your question, we do some fun stuff on P-day. Last week we went to the Adidas factory. That was sweet. We just recently have been getting some serious games of basketball going. I never pass up a good game. We have a bunch of players in the zone now so it is good times.
Tuesday-
We had a really good day. We are doing a bunch of less active try by's. It is some rough stuff sometimes. But, we just recently have been finding some who are actually willing to listen to us and those are the ones we are going to try to teach. We found one Tuesday. He said we could "practice" teaching him. That is code for we are trying to teach them. Then we had the privilege to give a blessing to a girl in the hospital. We got a call from a lady from another Ward and she said her granddaughter was in need of a blessing. And the family she was from is a less active family. So we said we would give the blessing and heading over there. They were so grateful for it.
Wednesday-
We were on exchanges. I got to stay. Elder Johansen doesn't know the area well enough so I got to stay. We had a crazy day. We taught a bunch of people on the street. We just talk to everyone meet. It was a rougher day for a while but we just kept going. Then we saw the miracles. We got mooned by a dude. So another time for that story. Haha you just have to laugh at these things. If you don't I, feel bad. It truly was funny. We were talking to these guys outside a drug house
and then a guy felt inspired to show us the crack. (Mom can’t stop laughing here.....) Then we taught a less active man who has hit the bottom and is working to come back. We showed him a video and he felt the spirit. Just another testimony of the powers of the Holy Ghost. We had a good lesson with the R’s. He is supposed to be baptized on this Saturday. We are pumped.
Thursday-
We meet some cool people on the street. But hopefully they call us.
Friday-
We met this guy on the street. And then on Sunday he shows up at church with this lady. It was a cool miracle. Just what happens when you ask for them. We will be teaching him as soon as we can. We have found a bunch of miracles.
Saturday-
We helped move a recent convert. The only thing is that every time we move, people don't have their stuff packed. So it is a lot of standing around. I wish they would just pack it and send it out. People also have lot and lots of garbage that we move. That was a project. Later we taught a less active lady and we're trying to get her to bring a friend. So we did that but it was a good day as well.
Sunday-
We had a good day a church. We had some gators there. Then we helped finish their move. Over all it was a great week.
If you all haven't read this talk, read it.
