hey everyone! This week was ward conference, so there were a lot of people at church, and they didn't bring very much bread. I blessed the sacrament and we had to break the pieces into pieces that were about dime sized.  A lot of people teased us because the bread was so small! haha. Prez was there too. So it was cool to see him again.

We have been seeing a less active man who lives down the street from us. He hadn't prayed for 9 years and his life was falling apart. A couple weeks ago we started praying with him 3 times a week and now he is amazingly full of life.  He is way happier. He got a girlfriend. His daughters started talking to him again. He got a promotion and he is so happy. This week he found out that he has cancer. So on Wednesday he is checking in to the hospital. On Tuesday, we're going to give him a blessing with the elders quorum president. It's really sad, but he has a good attitude about it. He's pretty bummed about not having any hair.

We found a lady to teach and she has came to church a couple times. We passed her over to the sister missionaries. Its hard to teach her because we have to find another man to teach with us, but she came to church on Sunday and she was really confused because we did all the substainings (it was ward conference). She didn't know why errryone was raising their hands a zillion times.

This Wednesday all of the missionaries in this mission and the Lyon mission are going to do finding all day. We are not going to schedule rendez vous or visit the members or anything and every 30 minutes we are going to stop and pray for everyone else. We also invited everyone in the ward to pray for us every half hour. It's going to be a day of miracles!

From what it looks like right now we are still going to have E__'s baptism this Saturday.  He's keeping all of the commandments.

 

 

Recently all of the people that we have been finding have been women, so we have been giving them to the sister missionaries. So lately we have been praying to find a man or a family and last night at about 8:40 we found a really cool guy and we talked a lot. We're seeing him again Thursday, but because we talked for so long we missed the bus and had to walk home in the rain. It was worth it!

So one of our mission rules is that we have to wear a coat and a suit everyday. Since prez was in town he also brought his daughters. His youngest daughter saw us walking Saturday night without umbrellas and told everyone that we were walking without coats. (she got her words mixed up) of course we were wearing coats!! it was raining and freezing.!

So I was thinking.. I think out of all of the boys in our seminary class, I got the coldest mission!! Thailand, Mexico, Paraguay, Guam... I doubt they even wear their suits!!!
