Had some things happen this week some good, some not so good. Tuesday we had an awesome day we did some knocking at a new place during the day and people were actually there, we talked to a lady named eilsandria, Elder Montgomery met her a long time ago she offered her company to clean the church. Well she was cleaning an apartment here and we talked to her and set up a time to meet her again, she seemed to be really interested. Then we did some more knocking and met some people that were not really interested. We drove to Prospect to do some finding there. We are doing a lot of finding right now because the ones we were working with stopped progressing. We went to prospect and were driving down the main road and then I said there are some cars in that duplex lets knock there, so we turned around and we talked to what would normally be 2 star investigators but there jobs are a big problem. They are flight attendants, so they are really never home. We had an awesome lesson with both of them, the spirit was super strong but there jobs are a huge monkey wrench. Tuesday night Jordan came teaching with us to what were our star investigators. We had another super powerful super good lesson with them Jordan did an awesome job, then at the end the mother say that she really doesn't see herself leaving her church we know that she and her daughter felt the spirit, so this was like a major face palm moment. I was like you got to be kidding me. But it was still a good lesson and they said they would read and pray. but they haven't been returning our calls. I feel like Jim Carey when he is calling Steven and keeps getting the machine, look up the clip. Wednesday we started off with good momentum, we had a good district meeting. We went and knocked lakeside again, and met a girl named Olivia who just moved here. had a good lesson with her and never heard from her again, Her boyfriend is Punjabi whatever that is. We also went and saw the member that we helped move the heaviest TVs in the world, and she came in and said i have good news and bad news, the news.....I forgot to cook for you and I have to move apartments again. Reader, you tell me where the good news is in there. So we set up a time Saturday to move her down 3 flights of stairs over one building and up 3 flights of stairs, man I love heavy TVs. We had lunch with an investigator and a friend of his and a member, the friend was a really old lady, she has a condo on the beach, we got some cool pics. In the evening we went knocking in prospect again and found what we thought at the time were star investigators, I think people have just been telling us what we want to here, until we leave. So this is what it feels like to be treated like an object. Thursday was pretty much the same story, we tried to see the people that we found a second time and it didn't work. So when that happens we do a lot of less active work which really paid dividends, we had 8 come back to church yesterday. So that was really cool this week. Friday we knocked on the door of a big radio dj here, her name is Morgan and she does the morning show here. She was really cool and had really good questions, and it was a good first lesson. But after we left there I felt like we just got bamboozled because she probably is really good at acting interested and asking questions because she interviews people all the time on her show. She probably is what the Cheshire cat off of Alice in Wonderland would be, very crafty with things called words. We had a lesson with Elisandria at the church, remember the girl that seemed really interested, well after having a really spiritual lesson she called us the next day and said she didn't want to switch churches. me "did you pray? her "no." me "will you" her "no" me " long exhale ehhhhhhh............Then we met Angie at the church and had a lesson on fasting with her. Chris and Aubrey came and they did awesome, it was a really good lesson. It was really cool to have them there. Teaching with members is really good, especially a lesson on fasting. so we were glad they could be there. After the lesson, our dinner appointment cancelled, so they invited us over because they are awesome. We went to see some people, then headed over there, Chris was trying to get his Internet up and working so it was funny to here him talking on the phone with customer support. Lets just say there was a lot of yes mams and no mams and eventually a hang up and call back. Dinner was awesome tho. It was taquitos, nachos,buffalo wings watermelon which was the best watermelon in the world and Mountain Dew. It hit the spot. Chirs and Aubrey are awesome, so grateful that they are here. Saturday was a really bad day, our appointments canceled then our back ups canceled then our back up back ups canceled. So we did a lot of knocking and mosquito's were dive bombing us like the red barron.
Sunday was my moms Birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!!!! Church was good really good lessons. Brother Palmer had another awesome lesson. Then we went and saw the Rhones and then taught a new lady Charmaine. After that we went and picked up a new member Ian Kolbaba, his last name is awesome. I call him Kolbaba. He served his mission in Nicaragua. He cam and taught Eddy with us. Then we went to dinner at the Chris and Aubrey's and it was really good stir fry. So as you can see this week was really kinda tuff but next week will be a lot better. At the end of Saturday I felt like dumb and dumber "We got no food, we got no jobs.....Our pets heads are fallin offf!!!!!!!!!! When are we going to catch a break?"
But i know God knows what he is doing and I know this week will be for my good.
I got a little artsy with my pictures.
