hahaha lots of questions!! so idk, about our investigators, it was a crazy thing cuz this week we got dropped by a couple people and one of our investigators said she wasnt sure about gettin baptized on jan 8th cuz of alot of things. That was probably the worst thing that happened this week, but then that same night which was last night, we went over to some new people named jesus and rebecca and they were AWESOME! the spirit was so strong through the lesson and it was so great like wow they are definately ready! I tried to call Dyers once but they didnt answer il try again though. ummm 2 of the 3 Christmas baptisms fell through but we do have one for sure. his name is Josh and his sister is a recent convert and yeah he wasn't quite sure in the beggining and what not but now he is all for it. He had a word of wisdom problem but he has completely stopped. I see elder scherbel cuz they our now in my zone but I dont see Elder Rice or Valentine like at all anymore. I have been to the temple lights 3 times but i still have 4 more haha they are great! After the mission I'm bringin you all and Morgan back for them cuz they are beautiful and the spirit there is sooo strong! oh yeah! One thing from the temple lights. I was talkin to this girl and well i wasnt quite sure cuz she had a mohawk and yeah i shouldnt judge but i didnt think she would talk to me but, she did and she had alot of questions and so i answered them. Alot were about the temple and stuff, but i had a book of mormon with me and she said "so where can i get one of those?" and i said "well we can go get one right over here" and then another missionary actually came over and gave me one and she asked some more questions and she brought up baptism and i explained it and what not and how it was important to get baptized by the proper authority. She then said that she feels like what i have been tellin her is true and that she will read and stuff. ha! Then the crazy thing happens, she says if i find out this is true can you baptize me? ha i was shocked i wont lie! i said that i probably could ha and i put my name in the Book of mormon and told her the missionaries she had could get a hold of me at that point, so yeah cool thing that happened! knockin doors wasn't bad we just knocked a apartment complex cuz we had a referal but no apt. # so we were like what the heck and started knockin and we found them and they didnt want us so yeah haha. The weather hasnt been bad here actually pretty nice. I did get your packages they are awesome thank you! We put up the tree and put my presents under and the 12 days pretty clever haha with the scriptures. The food is great, but yes i have had some interesting stuff but it was good so ehhhh, oh well lol im still alive! The language isnt bad but its still rough i cant memorize words to save my life so its tough but im not gettin down on myself. thanks for the address I'm glad your still goin to the temple thats awesome, i know it may be hard but your getting so many blessings for doing it! i gotta run but I'll put some pics on here. love you all!!!
