Snow and teaching...

Hey fam!!

I had a good birthday I guess.  I forgot it was my birthday the whole day because it's just another normal day. But it was good!

Our investigators are doing good. We had one at church. She is in her 50's and her daughter is in our ward. Her daughter was a convert.  She dated a boy most of high school who was a member and he ended up baptizing her and they got married. She is 20 now.  She is really happy.  Her mom is wanting to find that same happiness and so she is investigating. She is on date to be baptized January 7th.  So hopefully it works out for her. She has had a rough life.

Then there are 2 twins that are 14.  I have told you a little about them. They are on date for December 31st. They are the nicest kids.  They basically live with a family in the ward because they come from a rough home. Their mom lives in a trailer and is into a lot of bad substances.  Their dad we don't know a lot about because he is not really in the picture.  Their parents got a divorce along time ago. The mom has custody and said it is okay if they get baptized.  We are going to set up a time hopefully this week to go talk to her and have her sign a form saying its okay.

Then there is another guy who's in is 50's who has had a way rough life.  He lives in not the best home with other not so good people. He is really trying to change his life.  He works a ton because he is trying to get out of that house. He is on date for January 7th.  But it is not going to work because he just left to go to visit his daughter.  He wont be back until about the 7th and there is still a lot to teach him and things he needs to start living.

Also there is a boy who is 14 and his 10 year old sister whose grandparents and dad are members just really less active who are on date for January 14. They really want to be baptized and their dad and grandparents want them to be baptized.  They spend a lot of Sundays practicing for dirt bike races or they are at their moms house and she is anti. So there are a few things we have to work with there.

We have some other people who we are working with too but those are the ones on date. So good things are going on. It snowed Thursday and it was a lot of fun.  We went out on bikes and would pull our brakes and slide and stuff.  Elder Duncan wrecked like 5 times and broke the brakes on his bike but it was fun.

Also we were visiting a member in a gated old folks community and after wards we went to visit some families who are on the ward directory who we didn't know who they were and the fist family we went to just said they are not interested and so we went to the next couple.... and they used to be members but not anymore.  They totally flipped out!! It was this old couple and they went crazy swearing at us saying we were trespassing and how did we get in because it is a gated community and then they called the cops. Elder Duncan was just like sorry bye and started walking away.  I was just trying to explain to them that we were just visiting a family that lived there and we wanted to introduce ourselves to them because we saw they were in the ward but we didn't know who they were.  But they wouldn't listen and by then Elder Duncan was like 2 houses down from were I was.  Anyways he wanted to leave but I said no lets wait and talk to the cops and explain what happened so it doesn't look like we are trying to run.  So we waited around and they never came so we just left. But it was an interesting experience. ha ha

and that was basically my week

love you guys
