HI family
happy birthday mom! i love you.your the best mother ever!
ok ok i see. now that we have that established. how are you guys. im glad you got the package. those boogers are expensive. but worth it. Lauren I'm glad you liked the bracelet. i don't know if i mentioned this but if you look it has heart shapes all through out it.
so yea this week has been good. i guess we will start out with the beginning.
Monday well we don't have alot to do. we cant play board games any more so instead we made up our own. elder burnett played Dungeons and Dragons back home. its like a roll playing game that's suuuuuuuuuuuper nerdy. but all you need to play that is a dice and a piece of paper and pencil. so we kind of did that all day. boring. we need to get a Frisbee or something. o and there is a lady that does our laundry every week. she is really nice dont get me wrong but. when we went to pick up our laundry she was like elder Burnett you need to drink more fluids. and he is like why do you say that? so she pointed out the stains on his G's and said this only happens when your dehydrated. (umm AWKWARD)
So Tuesday, we had a great day planed lots of lessons and a bunch of people we were going to visit. but then all of a sudden the AP's text us and said the whole mission is grounded so no going outside, no walking, biking, driving or excepting rides. it was super lame. our mission has gotten super safety cautions. (and you can see why) so when we had a chance of snow the whole mission shuts down. so we were stuck in side all day. it was like two pdays in a row. but a second more boring one.
Wednesday. we saw a couple of people mostly trying people. we made a huge list of people to see. and now were making our way down the list. one man we ran into is named Juan. he is about 65 years old. in a wheel chair, and catholic. (there easy to convert) so he said that missionaries have come by in the past but they were really pushy about him getting baptized as soon as possible and he didn't like that so now three months latter were back (in black) he had a daughter die so we taught him the plan of salvation. and told him about the Resurrection. i have never been more sincere in my life as when i testified of the truthfulness of the resurrection. im so glad that i have the opportunity to share this Gospel. im so great full for the knowledge i have of the plan of salvation. and grateful that i know that Jesus died for me... and for us all. because alot of people dont know that. or they have been told, but if they really believe that. this opportunity is a once in a lifetime experience. and its the best decision i have ever made.
Thursday. so we keep working with that list. and we marked on the map a route that would be the fastest. but in our hurry to get out the door. i forgot the list. had the map and everything else. but when we got to this first street. i took out the list to check the address and No LIST (suck a duck!) so we were stuck with a decision to make. go back and get the list or knock some doors. i was sick of biking so we knocked some doors.
first door nothing, second nothing, and the third door guess what happened? nothing. so i was kind of getting discouraged but about a block down. past the 1967 Corvette stingray t-top, red with dual exhaust. (hey im trying to fight off the natural man) we knocked on the door of a yellow house. this lady anwsered and was like Elders! come on in. i didnt know if this was a member or a less active or what. so we went in and it was a man and his wife they told us to sit down. and got us some kool aid. they introduced themselves and said were not member were still in the conversion process. our whole family is members and live in Utah. and we just love Mormonism they both have quads. and book by apostles. they want us to come back and teach them any time. its like almost to good to be true. Golden Investigator anyone? really good faith booster. the lord knows what's what. if i would have had the list we never would have found them. so even though we might not see is the lord has a plan for each and every one of us.
were also teaching this guy. i told you about him last week. but we met with him at the church and taught him the restoration. the lesson went great. but we found out he is all about the facts. he cant prove there is no God. so he believes in him. he cant prove that Jesus doesn't exist so he could be our Savior. its crazy. he is doing this for the right reasons. but its going to be hard pushing through this. we told him to pray, pray hard. and that's how he is going to get his answer.
and not a lot happened Friday or Saturday. finding people teaching the same people a lot.
Sunday. we had stake conference. but instead of it being a regular get together. it was broadcast from salt lake. Henry B Iring spoke as well as a seventy. it was super cool and super intense. no one was expecting it. we just all showed up and they had a tv hooked up and said this is going to be a little different. it was broadcasted to Texas, Oklahoma, and new Mexico. most of the talks were about respecting women, your wives and your moms and stuff. really good. and alot about porn. elder Burnett made the comment if we didn't look at porn think of all the cool doctrine we could learn. but i got alot of insight.
then that night we had sacrament meeting in Hobart. at an old folks home. it was crazy. but good you know how old people are. there is this one lady that keeps saying my daddy was a preacher! for 45 years. but it was great.
sorry about Monday the library was closed so i didn't get to email.
Well i guess that's it for this week. Good luck Courtney Your the best big sister ever.
Love you mom, dad, Lauren, Courtney, family of the extended edition, friends of the best kind and any one else not mention in this list.
