So this week has actually been really great! We finally had another
lesson with Lori! She is so prepared it is incredible. We had the
lesson at the church with brother camp. She said that she could feel
the spirit just by holding the Book of Mormon. She is just such an
honest seeker for truth. You see that is the kind of person that the
Holy Ghost can touch. All it takes is an open mind and a willing heart
and she has definitely got it! I'm just super sad because we found out
she lives a block outside our area 😢. But she will probably get
baptized either way so whatevs. Same thing with Grover to he lives
literally a block outside our area. This week would have been better
if even one of them came to church! Man getting people to church is so
annoying. Like if you just go you will love it! Ya know?! Why am I
even frustrated it has been this way my whole mission hah. We also
found a few more new investigators! One of which was a referral from
some other missionaries. The kids name is Hung. He met missionaries at
a card shop buying Yugio cards. Why missionaries were their I don't
know. Missionaries are creatures sometimes. Anyways he was interested
so we met with him! He is Buddhist and hardly knows anything about
what we believe or even God for that matter. But he knows some kids in
the Ward from school so we're going to bring them with to teach! It
should be great. This area has so much work in it. It is awesome! I
love being so busy! 😁.
Man I filled out a bracket for March madness and boy did that get
destroyed. Who is middle Tenn. anyway?!? Haha oh well. The only hope I
have is Oklahoma.. I know nothing about basketball right now so it is
basically pointless having bracket. But it is fun. Elder Anderton got
his friend to send him one. So today we went to this legendary
restaurant called "Sweet taste of Italy". I guess it's pretty famous
here. They have this thing where you can get all you can eat
spaghetti. So of course we got it! We ate like over 3 hours ago and I
am still full... Yes. It was worth it. Oh! Big news! We're getting a
bran new car tomorrow!! A 2016 Toyota Corolla! I'm mostly just happy
cuz that means it will be clean. And that we won't have to clean it
very much.
Yesterday here was a stake general priesthood meeting so elder
Anderton and I got to see a bunch of people from Andover and Anoka! It
was so cool! I talked with brother Jacobson, Robby Florman, rich
Hansen. Just so many great people from my old area! I guess that is
the bonus of servin in a former stake. We also had another stake
report meeting. This is where the stake president, mission president
and some high councilman, and us and the STL's come together to
discuss the work in the stake. It Is super intimidating not going to
lie. But it was good! I learned a lot from it! The weeks are going by
really fast now. Classic old missionary saying I know. Anyways I guess
that is it from me this week! Love you and talk to you later!
