hey family how are you doing? this last week was OK. luckily it went by fast. i was super anxious to finally have a little free time. my comp has been kind of a wiener. same with the other office elders. i think its all because of the conference with the GA. for some reason they planned a service project on p day then to top it off they asked if we could come. or should i say my comp. he said yes of course without bothering to ask me. its just kind of makes me mad. that's really not how i wanted to spend my p day. its no that i don't like service but its just the timing. i love service because its a brake from the proselyting. but whatever. i guess if he feels like he can make my decisions for me we´ll have to sit down and have a talk. then our pres is getting really gay as well. he pretty much canceled all activities until he sees more improvement. this mission is becoming quite the bummer. i don't mind changing a little but it just makes me wonder when hes going to stop. i really think he might take our p day entirely at this rate. i think i would have a mental breakdown. its my only mental release. aaaaagh! well its not entirely bad. luckily the week went alright. yesterday something funny happened. so recently what i do to some people when i answer the phone is i make dog or cat sounds. i only do it to this one zone and they picked up on it as well. so yesterday they called me and they are like hey seegrist we found something you might like on the piano in the chapel. so they played it and they replace the key sounds with dogs and cats. hahahah. it made me laugh pretty good. lol this all reminds me of a couple years ago we went to the cabin after Christmas and Brandon got the Sim's game on his Nintendo ds. well it was like one in the morning and he decided to record himself. so as loud as he could " MMEEEEOOOWWWWW!!!!! MEOOOWWW!MEOOOW!" lol then dad says " Brandon shut up and go to bed!!!!" hhahah, do you guys remember that??
so do you remember when i told you guys about that guys that ot up at the end of stake conference and said how he was offended, well he had an appointment with him and it turned out fairly well. the guy is what you might call an eternal investigator. but we were able to take out his doubt. when we were talking i said straight up to him, "look, we want you to get baptized" then he goes off and tell us his life's story and how he thinks he has enough.. well what it directly came down to is that he doesn't believe what happened to Joseph smith. so we had to explain to him really clear that when people tell him to read the BoM and to pray its not so that way you will know how you should believing your life but to accept that god has called a prophet to restore his church. i think he finally understood and i think he will actually read and pray. the guy is pretty much in agreement with what the church teaches and he is living almost all the commandments. we also explained o him about eternal marriage. and how its only possible under the authority of god. which we have. all he has to do know is read and pray. on Monday we found out that our bishop is getting replaced. i think that he asked for it. but maybe positive stuff will come out of it. I'm hoping someone with more time and experience so that they can fix our ward. i guess we´ll see.
so on Saturday we found 2 new investigators. that was cool. we haven't had any in a while. it suck when we don't because it means we usually pass by the same people every week. we had a little success that day. hopefully there is more on the way. well i cant think of much more to say. love you guys, hope your doing well
