May 9, 2016

This week was a super great week! We did a lot of biking! Taught a lot of awesome. Lessons and we also set a lot of baptismal dates! So this week I learned that diligence is the way to success, because even though times get hard and things look like they aren't going to get any better, as we are diligent and push threw we will be able to come out on top in the end as long as we make Christ the center of all we do. We talked to a lot of people this week! And had a lot of fun doing it! We also had a lot of weird replys from people as well, had one lady say actually I try to avoid y'all. Haha so that was fun! We had two guys were we talked to them and we had to get to an appointment and we asked if we could come back at a later time and they said well if you can't talk now then don't ever bother coming back here again!
So I guess they didn't wanna talk about Jesus. We have this one investigator and she still semi believes literally in the Old Testament and has a lot of Jewish beliefs but believes in Christ. So it has been pretty crazy! She has a lot of interesting questions at honestly I've never even thought about! So she has made me get to know the doctrine very well and very simple! So it has been a very good learning experience for me! Also this week we had a lot of people, that were anti! So the Internet is no longer my friend! We talked to 4 people this week that told us to google our religion to find out what it is really all about rather than go to the real source the churches website! It has been very frustrating, but it has also been eye opening to realize how many people are lost and don't have the truth because they don't know where to find it! It's sad to see people, reject blessings for themselves because they are prideful and think they have it all when they are missing out on so many blessings they can only get from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!

I had a great time skyping home and getting to see my family! It was a weird realization that that was the last time I'll skype! Wow! I can't believe how fast the mission has gone by! It's super crazy how it just disappeared! These last 20 months have the best of my life and I love the work we get to do as missionaries!

Love y'all!
