The Gives and Takes of Missionary Service

I hope your week was good and everything even though it sounds like it was really busy.

Hitchhiking with the Police

So lets see. Of course as always this week was really good but hard at the same time. At the beginning of this week we had four baptism dates. One with _________ and the three others with _______ and his twin brothers. As of yesterday we have a total of...0. None came to church and it`s sad cause we`re almost positive they won`t progress anymore. ___________ told us that she can`t come to church. We tried to figure out why but she wouldn`t tell us. We`re thinking it`s because of what we found out about the last time. The last lesson with her we found out that her aunt and uncle are pastors in the evangelical church. So yeah we`re almost positive the Mom talked to them and they talked to her. I`m positive _________ wants to be baptized but I guess in her aunt and uncle`s church something called agency doesn`t exist. And ________ and his brothers just don`t want to listen or go to church anymore. We literally have no idea what happened with them but something changed. Definitely tough cause we`ll go over there and they`ll just leave or pretend to sleep. But I made them promise they would come to church next week. We`ll see what happens.

Let`s see what else happened this week...Yesterday was pretty good. We got to church and we were thinking that no one was going to be there. A member showed up though with her friend! We talked to the friend and we have an appointment tomorrow with her. Want to know what else? Apparently she wants to be baptized. Hey that`s just what she said. Haha so yeah that would be cool. Also halfway through sacrament meeting guess who showed up with her kids? Hna. ___________! How cool is that? She loves church too. She always takes notes during sacrament meeting and looks up the scriptures and marks the one she likes. Later that night we had an appointment with her. We ended up bringing 5 members with us cause right now we`re just trying to get her friends with as many people as possible. We had an awesome lesson about the "Restoration". It started out as the Restoration but ended up being about faith. She loved the lesson and started to cry. I definitely can see her change every time we talk to her. Hopefully we can help her progress towards baptism. She knows it`s the thing to do, she just has a hard time believing in things she can`t see.

They built that
So lets see what else this week. Oh yeah I went on divisions with the ZL`s this week. It was super fun. We were heading to his area and he realized he didn`t have 3 quets for the bus. So what do you think he does? Yeah he gave a nice thumbs up to a police car who nicely stopped by the side of the road and let us ride with them until the area. Fun right? I must say it really freaked me out when he did it but I was laughing the whole way after. I have a nice video too. Also this week we did a ton of service. We built an entire wall for a catholic investigator. It took awhile but it was actually pretty fun.It turned out really good too and she was happy. But hey she still didn`t come to church...As for the clown Mom yes I`ve seen him as a clown many times. Also we couldn`t do service for him this week cause he has to wait 15 days to move all the dirt. 


So yeah no more time. I love you guys and hope you have a splendid week. Curtis good luck tomorrow and don`t mess up! BYE!!!
