Well to start off our week, we decided to find in our "money pit" apartment complex. We found this older woman named Rosa. It was awesome! She let us in gave us water and listened with real desire. She said her family needs church right now in their life. She lost a daughter 2 years ago and her grandson she has living with her is a pill head and always sneaks out and just makes life hard for her. So we are going tomorrow to teach them both.
Wednesday we did Hermana Dominga's interview. Before that we were teaching her and her husband got all mad and didn't want her baptized all of a sudden. We talked to him about all his concerns and ultimately put on the restoration DVD and it changed his heart and all of sudden he was chill again with her being baptized.
Thursday Elder Turner had a meeting in Richmond, so I went with the Zone Leaders and did English work. We started off at this apartment complex and talked to a really sweet old lady who insisted we should take her money haha. We taught her the restoration and she seems pretty interested. After that we went to this really rich neighborhood, where everyone and their dog was a catholic and did not want to listen at all. Then we finished up the day at their recent converts house.
Friday we went finding and everyone had snow plows and tractors and skid steers ready for the snow, and it was just cloudy not even looking like it was going to snow, so we started knocking doors, and we look over at these big huge silos in town and slowly watch them disappear, so we were like ah fetch we better get in haha, and it just hit us like a wall! So much freaking snow! We ended up getting in this guys house and he's way toooo friendly, so he said he's been taught before and we pull up the record on our iPad subtly and we see he's been dropped three times because he just pulls anti Mormon material out of his butt and bashes, so another ah fetch moment. Anyways we bash with him for like 3 hours because he locked us in his house. He's bringing up stuff like Joseph Smith said the moon was inhabited, and just whack stuff. Either way we answered all his questions and ended up just saying dude.. we need to leave I'm sorry, and he wouldn't let us so we just asked him so you're kidnapping us? Then he let us leave.
The next three days I had to do English work with the Zone Leaders because my companion was snowed in down in Richmond. Then our baptism fell through because everyone was snowed:(:( but next Saturday Hermana Dominga! Mark your calendars, because she's getting dunked! Man this week was just filled with crazy freaking english work, they deal with way too many legit crazy people.
Well that was my week.
con amor
