I hope the weather is good where you are because it is B-E-A-UTIFUL! Me and my companion have been doing a lot better this week and im very grateful for that because it makes the work move slow and nothing really gets done because their is so much contention between eachother. so it has been tons better! On tuesday we had district meeting and it was great. it was more of a talk session than our district leader just teaching us. we talked about how we can work with less active and part member families more instead of tracting all the time and not seeing any success at all! So after district meeting.. me and the district always go to this real mexican food restaurant called Don Juans and always get Tortas. oh man they are so delicious! They are also the cheapest which is why we get them haha. they run about 3.50 for one. Well me and Elder Lefevre have been going on lots of exchanges lately if you hadnt noticed. because my companion doesnt have a license and Elder Lefevre cant drive because he got into a crash a couple of transfers ago. so when we go on exchanges with that companionship Elder Lefevre has to come with me and my companion Elder Hedberg goes with Elder Cardenaz.. Well we went on another exchange tuesday after district meeting and it was great! Me and Elder Lefevre worked a lot on the less actives in the ward and we ended up scheduling a few appointments with them. that night we had a member.. Bro. Price take us out to the sticks in jacksonville and met with a less active family and her son is inactive who has a non-member wife.. (you can probably see where this is going:)) Yep! we asked her to take the lessons and she said she was interested in learning more...:):)! So we scheduled an appointment for the following night! yay!
So on wednesday we exchanged companions back and we went to visit some of the less active families that we scheduled appointments with. that was very successful! we also went to our lesson that night to see Jennifer Herrington our new investigator. Bro. Brooks Atwood was the member that took us out. (He owns a really nice cowboy hat making company and i'm going to get a hat from him:) he charges half price for missionaries:)) well anyways. on the way out to our lesson of course the topic of politics came up and he is so conservative! He told us that he wishes this country would fall and that when it does he would bunker up at his house with all 15 AK-47's and enough ammo and food to feed 6 families for 2 years!!! hahaha. he also said that he would suck the blood from Obamas dying throat! It was super funny!! But on to a better note. we met with our investigator and taught her the restoration and the lesson went great. although im not sure how strong her knowledge is on the gospel or on our savior Jesus Christ! But thats why we are here and we will definantly fix that!:)
So we had another lesson with our other investigators Kandie, Rickey, and Anna.. that went well. we just finished the plan of salvation with them. Saturday morning we went to a Recent Converts house with the Elders and High Priests of the Bullard Ward and helped clean up his backyard. He is 83 years old and has not kept up with his back yard in who knows when. there was sticks everywhere. so we cleaned all that up and then we took it to a members house and burned it all! the fire was huge!! So yesterday was sunday and church was great! After church we went to our investigators Kandie, Rickey, and Anna's cause they invited us over for dinner. Rickey ended up smoking a turkey and Kandie made lots of italian food! it was so delicious! The downside of that event was.. they were all drinking and it made us as missionaries feel like crap cause the spirit was not there at all! so we didnt end up teaching the lesson we wanted to we just left after eating.. For the rest of the day i just did not want to do anything because of how bad i felt... but oh well! i got over that today:).
