Dear Family,
I am doing okay. Thomas is an
awesome guy, he has been very helpful to me on my mission. Dad is sub-ing yeah
people love dad, it is hard not to. Remember that people just flock to him to
talk to him. And is Bro Hart okay, I mean what is stopping him from coming to
church, has he been Elder's Quorum for to long or what is it? And I hope that
Bro Brake is doing okay with that, and how is his little boy been? And Josh is
getting sealed in the St Louis temple that is awesome, please send me pictures
of it.
Now to my week, is was good, we had
a lesson with Mitch an investigator, we got him on a baptismal date, and we
have taught him the restoration and the plan of salvation. He was gulping it
up, but bad news he doesn't live in our ward so we have to pass him off to the
YSA elders, because he is 21, and wants to start a family right now. We had a
killer lesson with Aaron, we met with him for our second lesson and he started
asking us about the Word of wisdom. We planned to teach the plan of salvation,
but we jumped off the tracks and got on his level and taught him the WOW and he
committed to start keeping the WOW. Right after the lesson we went down to a
local gas station and threw his tobacco and cigarettes in the dumpster there. Still
working on Coffee with him, but he is slowly weening himself off of it, so we
will see how this goes.
Yes, there is rain in our forecast...FINALLY....
although it kinda sucks here if it does rain because, we have to bike over dirt
paths to get anywhere in our area, and we get muddy if it rains and people
won't let us in if we are muddy. Most members take pity on us and let us in to
get dry and warm, which is something to be thankful for #tender mercies. Yes, I
am warm, but next week is forecast with high winds, so we will see how well we
get through it. :) Teaching people is like a bear, it is hard, fun, and weird
all at the same time but it is totally worth it to see them progress.
I do make
my bed, Elder Conder before that picture was taken was poking and prodding me
to get up even though I told him I needed a nap, and I got tired of him doing
that so I got up and did something else to make him stop pestering me. I have
been getting enough to eat. We have been working on getting a dinner calendar
coordinator to get us dinner, but we have been working on that for 4 months. The
crab was fun, we kept on thinking of what we would do if it came to life right
then and there, and we got several laughs out of it. I always try to be a nice
guy, and there is an Elder that finished his mission and he was giving all of
his stuff away, and I got his GPS and Pokemon deck and the kids love it. It is
apparently getting popular again with 7 year old's, so I am ready for when a 7
year old wants to play. The guy with the gun has worked everything out and is
okay and so is his mom. We are working on ward trust, it is hard particularly
as there have not been solid missionaries for 6 months and we are trying to
start something that the previous missionaries broke, so we are working on it,
and we are trying to fix it.
Love,
Ammon
