We had a fantastic Skype session with Alex on Christmas! It was so much fun to laugh and visit with him. He said to say thank you for all the packages and cards.
It has been a good week. Let's just start Tuesday. Tuesday was one of the best days we have had. In the morning we tried by a potential investigator, but they weren't there so we talked to a few more people outside. And they were interested. Then we had a lesson with this guy at a coffee shop. We called him on the phone and asked if we can meet and he said he was really excited to meet and then he's going to be bringing a couple of his buddies. So we were down to find out if this guy was really interested. It turned out to be a Bible Bash. Haha! This guy brought his friends for moral support. They were there to help him make his point. So we are teaching them and they are asking all these questions and we manage to teach them a little. One of the guys actually was pretty interested in the message. So we are meeting there again to talk to him and if it starts to be a bash, we will leave but if it’s good, then that would be sweet. Then after that we headed to pick up a member. He was a recent convert and he wants to go on a mission so he wanted to go out with us. We had a good lesson with Jessica. She is so ready and we taught her the word of wisdom and she is all for it. Then we had a really spiritual lesson it was kinda a breakthrough lesson. She opened right up and told us all of her concerns that she was having. After we dropped off the member we felt like we needed to go to Baskin Robbins. It sounds weird, but we taught somebody there a couple weeks ago but we never heard from her. We got some ice cream and gave her a Book of Mormon. It was awesome.
Wednesday was weird. We had a bunch of plans fall through for us. So we stopped by a bunch of people. We ended up teaching a couple less actives.
Thursday we finally had our zone meeting. It went really well. And after that we had some business stuff that we had to take care of. Then after all that we went to Peacock Lane. It is a street in Portland famous for doing Christmas lights. We went Christmas caroling. We just sang the hymns and it was pretty fun. We had a good time. And some people stopped to listen for a long time. So it was something that I haven't done yet. (Mom note: never thought I would ever hear Alex say he had fun caroling!)
Friday we played Santa by picking up and delivering packages to our zone so we had to go up to Vancouver. But we had a last second lesson before we headed in.
Saturday was pretty boring. Nobody was home.
Sunday was fun!!
