How's it going!
Not
a whole lot this week, we had this super awesome new investigator, she
had found a bunch of Mormon Messages on YouTube and requested a Book of
Mormon. We started teaching her and everything, and then all the sudden
her mom put the kibosh on the whole deal (she's 18, but is dependant on
her parents right now). There's still hope, but it was a total bummer.
This
last Thursday Elder Callister and I drove down to Corsicana to help
senior couple missionaries with a booth they had there about family
history/familysearch.org,
for some fair thing (Derrick Days if you wanna look it up). It was
alright, we wound up spending like 4 hours handing out flyers. I wasn't
really a fan of spending a Saturday (the best proselytizing day) handing
out flyers, it was kind of fun though.
Other
than that, not much new. Oh! This past sunday was pretty awesome. There
was a Bishop change in the ward here, the other guy was Bishop/branch
president for like 7 years, and in the branch presidency/bishopric for
like 14. It was also Bring Your Friends to Church day across the
mission, we had like 10 non members in sacrament meeting. Then a bunch
of people brought desserts for 2nd hour, for a mix-and-mingle. Then after
we had a baptism for a 12 year old. He's best friends with a kid in the
ward and his nonmember parents came and heard him bear his testimony
where he said he wants it be an example to his family, it was super good.
Other
than that not, much else a lot of the same ol' same ol'. A couple fun
things in the apartment: we turned the coffee table into a bench press
and we got a king size mattress from someone we helped move here in our
apartments, and stuffed it into the bunk beds, its called megabed, or
bedageddon. The apartment has been pretty messy, passalong cards,
bibles, miscellaneous papers, clothes, haft drunken water bottles
everywhere, so we spent part of P-day cleaning up, it looks way better.
While we were cleaning though a wild cat (there's a lot of wild cats in
the poorer parts of Dallas) came in our house!
Anyway, love you guys!
