Season 7 Episode 3... May 9, 2016

Happy Birthday Kori! Wow the big 21. (Alex is teasing Kori since she turns 23 and he knew that on Sunday when we Skyped)

Good to see you on Mother's Day. (So great to see Alex and talk to him for a little over an hour!)  We had a really good week.

Tuesday-

We had a stellar district meeting this week. Our district leader is a beast. He’s a former assistant to the president so he knows his stuff. We talked about our purpose. It was nice. Then after that, we went to a less actives house. We have seen him make a really big step. We have seen him come to church this week. Which is nice. Then we had a meeting with the elders quorum president. It was good.

Wednesday-

So this was a wild day. We got like 8-9 phone calls about the baptism we were having on Saturday. There was a mix up in the schedule so we were working out the details. There were three child of record baptisms taking place on Saturday and we  didn't want to impede those. So we called around and moved ours to 10 am. Shortly after, we got a call from the bishop and he said the other baptism was at 10. So we moved ours to 11:30. We did it later because the 10:00 baptism was a Tongan baptism. I knew they would have a feast after. But, they didn't!Then, after all the calls rescheduling and changing back we got things settled. We also were teaching a part member family he is so stubborn. He won't be

baptized just because he thinks it is hypocritical. We will try again but it is so frustrating.

Thursday-

We had a good day. Everything canceled on us but we worked hard. We found this old guy who just doesn't go to church because of health reasons.

Friday-

We had a good day. So it was our planning day. We also had a fireside up in Vancouver. We couldn't drive ourselves so we are calling people and asking if they could take us to the fireside. Everyone was either bailing on us or was out of town. So as a last resort we tried somebody who said he would. Very strange man. He is a very strange man. But he took us so it was cool. We went to go

see Johnny Miller, he was the fireside speaker. That was pretty neat. He is good friends with President Taylor. I didn't realize President was that good at golf. Miller was a beast. He talked about his career and tied it into the gospel. It was

cool.

Saturday-

We sealed the deal with Osha! She got baptized Saturday. It was really good! She was really happy. I haven't seen her smile before. After her baptism she was Beaming! It was a very good day. 

We taught this guy who is in a trailer park and he dumped his beer on my leg.... that was great.

Sunday-

Good Sunday! I got to skype home so that was nice. Overall it was a really good week.
