Well, this transfer has had its ups and downs. We started out with 5 baptisms marked and they all fell through. All of the people basically ran and hid from us. Then we got a referral and talked to this mom that wasn't active anymore, but her daughter visits the church on a regular basis so we talked to the mom and she signed the paperwork and agreed to let her daughter get baptized and then the day of we called her cause she didn't show up to the church at the time we said and she was like, "Oh, I don't want her to get baptized anymore...." so there goes that. Then we had a miracle. A family was given to us as a reference and we were like heck this is awesome. they don't have any problems with any commandments and are perfect they just need to get married. a member said he.ll take care of it and do all the paper work and stuff on Monday so we can get them hitched Wednesday and baptize them Saturday. well the member didn't do the paperwork so we went in Tuesday and the lady said that if we came in Monday they would have been able to get the paperwork in by Tuesday to marry them on wed. so ya were pissed a little bit but what can ya do. this transfer has been a big race and we got to the finish line and couldn't cross it... so close but so far away. so I hope we don't get transferred cause we can still baptize the family but it'll be in the next transfer.
there was a activity with the ward and branch combined and the goal was to bring friends(non-members) to the activity and then we(the missionaries) would talk to them and hopefully they'll accept us but also they were playing soccer there too well let me just say that I'm pretty dang good at soccer now. I scored two goals and I can kick the ball really good too. ha hah never thought I'd see the day, but ya! I am good at soccer!
My days are pretty much the same still. Wake up study shower go to lunch then start our day of proselyting. Then around 8pm we go to a members house and visit a little bit before going home to shower and sleep again. ha ha nothing too special but routine.
this area I'm in is better than the last cause its an actual city! ha ha with roads and stores and car lots stuff. And the city isn't on a giant mountain, however they do have a big hill and at the top of it they have a giant statue of Jesus Christ. so for a pday two weeks ago we went up to the top of it. So that was awesome.
So ya this is whats been going on. ha ha!
love ya mom. :) if there's anything else you wanna know just email me the questions k. love ya
