Day 461

Of course I'd like an update on your people...

All of our people are gone! We had two progessing, one with a Baptismal date. Her parents forbid her from joining, or investigating, (Although she is 19, maybe we can talk some sense into her) and the other declined from having more visits.

Tell me about an interesting person you met recently.  Not necessarily someone you are teaching...

One Drunk guy in the park wanted to fight with me because I told him to not swear at me. haha. we got him calmed down alright and he decided that there was someone else he wanted to fight more.

How are your newly weds doing?

We're supposed to see them on Tuesday, but they haven't really been progressing. We want them to though!!

Is the weather changing?  It cant make up its mind here

Its been in that fifty and sixty degree range, it got up around 80 yesterday though

Are your ward members pretty good at fellowshipping?

They do alright, we're really trying to get them more involved in the work, I think when they meet the people that are coming to church, they'll fellowship them better.

Are you ever scared to talk to people?  or feel intimidated?

All the time, but it often works out for us when we overcome those feelings. Like the other day there were two big white guys in black t-shirts that we walked over to talk to, turned out we knew one of them, and we were able to set up an appointment. He didn't keep the appointment, but it was still good.

Do you ever have preachers confront you?

A little. Actually twice last week we had people confronting us about different doctrinal points. Not preachers, just passionate people that want to shove their thoughts about our faith down our throats. The second was nicer, he invited us to read the book of John, and we gladly accepted if he read three chapters out of the Book of Mormon.

What is the hardest part about being a trainer?

It's not too hard, sometimes I wonder who is training who, although there is a definite weight to it, knowing that everything you do will make a huge impact on this person's mission.

What is the best part about being the senior comp?

You usually get to drive the car. But we don't have one. ;)

Elder Bingham says hello as well, by the way all of you write so late at night, you and dad around midnight, and grandma, taking the cake at 12:50 AM.

Love you so much!
