This week has been pretty good. On Tuesday we met a cray guy named Franky. He was mowing his lawn and hoped off the mower and ran over to us and started to tell us what he knew about the name Jesus. I honestly don't know what his point was, he really didn't have anything against us, he just wanted someone to share his ideas with I guess. He was just really upset because the English word Jesus is not what they actually call the Savior in Aramaic. Then he told us that since we didn't speak in tongues that we did not have the Holy Ghost but he did. Then he said that Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon and anytime we would have something to say he would cut us off by just talking louder. Then he taught us how to pray by getting down on his hands and knees and praying for us. It was pretty good.
Other than that we had some pretty good lessons with people. We met a part member family and the guy kinda hesitantly let us in and we shared a short message and then left. It was a good contact and we will continue working with him but we will see if it goes anywhere.
We have also had several people who just want to bash with us and tell us to repent or we will be damned, its been fun.
But if everything works out well we will have 2 or 3 members returning from inactivity in the next couple week, so we are super excited for that.
On Saturday we were able to drive to my last area (Ottawa) because Twila got baptized!! It was so awesome to be able to see her enter into the fold of God and be one with the Saints. A good friend of hers who originally introduced her to the church was able to baptize her. It was great.
Thank you all so much for the support. Being a missionary is the best!
