It's been a slow one fam. Elder Tornow has been sick lately, so we haven't been able to go do a whole lot. We were able to go out to Oak Point which is Northwest of us, to help out some other missionaries. One of the people we stopped by was an inactive mormon guy whos family were all not members. He let us in we chatted, he said he hasn't been to church in years, and then we asked if he has been reading the Book of Mormon at all. He told us about some job insecurity he's had lately, and that he actually just started reading the Doctrine & Covenants, of all things. He was like "you guys need to understand something: every time I start reading the scriptures and praying again, the missionaries show up." He explained that he said to his wife "watch the missionaries will be coming over soon" then bada bing! bada boom, WE show up! It was awesome. So that was cool. The missionaries over there have a return appointment with him soon so we'll see what happens. 

We do have a good long term investigator. His wife is a member, and missionaries have been teaching him for nearly a year and half. He's awesome. He's read through the entire Book of Mormon, the Pearl of Great Price and almost the Doctrine & Covenants, but is having trouble committing to be baptized. We originally had a whole thing set up to teach him in the temple but it didn't work out, BUT he still went and were able to get the Temple President to meet him. They wound up talking for like half an hour! So that was awesome. We have a lesson with him on Tuesday, so we will see how it went. 

Otherwise not a whole lot else. 

Hope everything is going well back home!

Love y'all!
Elder Hõgg
