Well
I feel like there is not a lot to tell you because we have already spoken, but
I will tell you I have met the craziest woman of my life... She goes by Doc Na
because she used to go by Doctor Nancy but then she went bowling and that's what
was on the board and she thought it was perfect. She says she is writing a book
and because of the information in the Book she is in hiding from her family who
are out to cut her hair off, and she immediately starts telling us about her
terrible childhood and promises that she will gift a book to the Church. Then
she stops suddenly and snidely asks E. Hunt " Why do you have your arms
crossed like that? that's a closed posture, you are threatening me right now. I
am scared can't you see? and what are you doing wearing that tie you look like
a bad TV dad, you need to wear a purple paisley tie it would suit your
complexion." then we ask if she would like to pray she says "Yes to
Jesus, I am a Pagan, I only pray to Jesus though because the bible says so, but
this guy standing behind us doesn't like prayer so we are going to go over
there" so we walk 5 feet and she immediately says I will start. And she
includes this, "help these boys know that the world is changing like
country western music, I don't like that stuff but its changing, take Taylor
Swift for example a whole lot less twang and a lot more soul." then she
tells E. Hunt to go... he says a prayer, and she stops him and says that sounds
memorized, can you please say something from the soul my friend make it real,
add some humor God doesn't get Humor, so he says another line, then its my
turn... So I say a prayer real slow with pauses to make it obvious that I am
thinking of my next line and as soon as it is over she throws her hands up and
says "Perfect... Duces!... And you (me) think about starting your own
church... you could cause people to jump off a cliff if you wanted" turns
around and walks away into the darkness, leaving us confused and worried.
This week was a little bit rough due to Christmas, I thought
that it would soften hearts but we ran into quite a few hard ones, most of our
success this week came through working on the Less-Active/ Part-member Families
that the Bishop wanted us to contact and wish a Merry Christmas. As we did that
we were able to meet a lot of people that we would otherwise never found home because
they were not working for the Holidays. Currently our most promising
investigator, Jose, has made a decent amount of progress, he actually took this
week off form work and told us that he wants us to come by everyday to help him
get baptized. He told us to come by twice in one day if that was necessary. He
has a date for the 10th because we aren't sure if he has a Word of Wisdom
problem, but we do know that he has been taught about it by multiple members
and that he has said he is willing to do it, we just need to find out went he
actually stopped, if it was yesterday then we will wait until the 10th, but if
it was last Thursday like our member thinks then we are going to push his date
up to the 3rd. He was worked with by missionaries in the past, but then due to
his work he had to move, now that he is back he contacted a few of the members
that he remembered and started coming back, the difficult thing that we had
with him was that he was only available on Sundays, but know that he has taken
time off we can meet with him way more frequently.
Other
than that not much has really happened this week due to Christmas, there was
alack of people in town they were all on the awful land of "Orlando"
But we still kept busy and were having fun meeting people who were here, we got
a job offer with a lady that is selling some big product that she designed for
the "government" that she couldn't really explain to us.
Any
way I wish you all a "Happy New Year"
Stay
Strong Push On
