There and Back Again

Squashing Apples:
It's Depressing if You're an Apple

Welp things have been on the spectrum of good and bad this week.

We moved back into our original apartment. WHOOOO! But the the guys doing remodeling work are moving lots of heavy stuff on the floor above us at 3:00 in the morning. BOOO! 

Its' P-Day and we can do our shopping. YEEEAA! But our mission cards (that it the money we use to buy food for the week) wont be refilled until after our P-day (the only day we can buy food) is over. Stomach grumbling *

Its okay though, we are going to pull through this week easy, we have tons of members support as well as others helping us.

This week we were able to find 3 new people this week!

The Results Will Be in the Next Email

The first is Ashkan. He is not from around here and he is on a personal mission to learn more about the Church. He is one of the most pleasant people I have met on my mission who is not a member. We walked in and expected Anti, because he was being so nice (people who don't like the church like to lure missionaries in their home and then lecture them about why they are wrong. It's what we call Anti). It turns out that he had met with missionaries a few months before we met him. They had left a Book of Mormon with him,. He had told them not to come back for a few months so he could read as much as he could. Well when we found him he had read clear through to the Words of Mormon (that's kinda far, especially for someone who has English as his second language). He wants to know more and we are meeting with him tonight at 7:30!

We also met a young couple: Angelita and Chris. They are super nice and love the message of the Gospel. They have had questions for a long time concerning the doctrine of the trinity (not our doctrine). They said that they read in the new Testament and found a place where it talked about Jesus Christ being on the right hand of God, which doesn't make sense if you believe in the trinity. They had asked many of their Catholic friends, but they were shunned for asking questions. Once we explained that God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost were separate beings they felt relieved. We have yet to set up another lesson with them, but soon we will teach them more, and I have a great feeling about how they will receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

His Nose Would Not Fit

My companions mission is nearing its end, with our trip up to CDL for zone conference as well as a temple trip to Spokane. He will be staying up there and I will be coming back down to Moscow (I, however, do not yet know if I will stay in Moscow. Transfers are next week). For the time I am away from my companion, I will be in a trio with: Elder Schelenberg and Elder Lund. It will be a blast.
