Another Week, Another Baptism Date

A Picture of Me on a Bed on a New, Free Couch

Things are starting to blur past me, I can't for the life of me remember what happened last week, I will have to take a look at my notes real quick. 

Okay, we have this lady we have been teaching for over 4 months now, and she would have been baptized by now, but she keeps not going to church, and instead keeps helping her bum friends who live in a city over an hour away. We found that one of her friends sisters is a member and now we have that member and the missionaries in that area coordinating with us and going over to do the service so our lady on date doesn't have an excuse to ditch us and church every weekend. Progress! Whooo!

Us Playing cover Your Assets - It's Fun

I don't know what it is and don't worry about is we are not victims of them, but there have been some major bed bug problems in some of the apartment complexes we teach at, (we are safe! Don't worry) we are protected by the people there and we just have lessons outside. It's just a wonder with how bad it has gotten recently, some of the people we are teaching are just suffering, It really sucks, but we are still safe regardless of when we teach them. 

Another example of us being safe - just last night after a zone kickoff meeting we had. We were driving home and there was what I think was a drunk crazy lady. She was stumbling around on the side of the road. Then when we start getting closer she jumps into the road right in front of us, but we stopped before we could hit her. She was furious, and tried to yell at us, but we being upstanding citizens ignored her and drove away. I am telling you this because just that night, for the closing prayer of our zone kickoff, my companion prayed that nobody would get maimed on the car ride home. This goes to show that the Lord takes prayer very seriously, and that if we ask him within good reason we will bless us accordingly.

Putting Cats on his Shoulder

We put somebody on date for baptism. It's a ways away but it is November 9th. What's really cool about this is that it she is in a part member less-active family, but she is so excited to meet with every week, and she has been seeing some great blessings from meeting with us. She knows that it has been from meeting with us.

There was an air show the other day. We heard lots of cool and loud things, but we didn't get to see much though We were busy working and there were big trees in the way, but there was one cool moment we saw a jet fly right over us. It was loud and cool.  They were the Blue Angels.

1Nephi 17:1-3.

This is a little self explanatory

1 And it came to pass that we did again take our journey in the wilderness; and we did travel nearly eastward from that time forth. And we did travel and wade through much affliction in the wilderness; and our women did bear children in the wilderness.

   3 And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled. And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; wherefore, he did provide means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness

More Shoulder Cats

I am grateful that you have read this far into my email, and I would appreciate if you did it again next week, because it will be either just as good or the exact same.

Thanks,
