I cant believe ive been in this area for a whole month now. i still feel new but im really not that new anymore. It has been tough getting to know all the members and the leadership by name. i need like flash cards or something haha but i probably wont do that. that would involve me taking all of there pictures. that would be creepy.
We had a pretty good week. nothing too abnormal happened. With our investigators a lot of them are just not on date. We have been struggling to get them on date for one reason or another. some are they are not coming to church others they dont see the need, the most frustrating is they can get permission from the parent guardian. So this week thats what i wanted to focus on. was getting people to commit to a date. we were able to put 2 more on date but we lost one! DAng it! Jaron snider broke his hand and is getting a cast! trying to put him back on date and just put a bag around his cast! haha. he was supposed to be baptized this Saturday so hang tight. this week could be a little crazy getting him baptized.
Also on saturday we picked up a new inv. who actually requested us to come. But i think he misunderstand what we do. he has 3 bad addictions and he wants us to help him over come it. When we met with him he told us how he wants to quit drinking and quit gambling. while we were talking though he was drinking and after we left he drove to a casino. haha he is in deep and he will need a lot of help. i tried to tell him if he wants to commit he must commit to god and work towards baptism. We are not really there yet.
Today i got an email of a couple who i taught in sandy! probably one of the few people that i really touched. I never found out what happened to them and it was so great to hear that they are active in the ward. they give talks, and bear there testimonies! i think they even have callings and are working towards getting sealed in the temple this summer! i really want to go. that would be something special. We never did baptize there kids... i wonder if they got them baptized.
Well im just chillun up here in west jordan. Yall take care.
