So this week has been awesome and i am so loving the mission! It is defiantly hard work but so rewarding! Tuesday we had a lesson with Kandie and Anna and i think it went alright. we taught them the Ten Commandments and Kandie was really happy that we did that cause she told us that Anna has been snooping around her house and stealing their stuff.. so there is something definatly going wrong there! We went in about 7:00 Tuesday night because a huge Thunderstorm was rolling in and also Tornado warnings! Dallas was hit earlier with 11 Tornados and destroyed a lot of property but luckily no one was killed! Me and my companion were standing out side looking at the skys and right about us there was a "Wall Cloud" forming about us. which means this cloud was forming in a circle and about to drop a tornado down on our appartment! That was way scary! but luckily it didnt! That whole night it Stormed until about 1! Then the next day it was completely clear! Wednesday we drove towards the Frankston area and we went to visit some less active members.. one member we stopped by lives with this man and they are not married but they live in this private subdivision with a private run way and everyone that lives there has their own hanger and own airplane. well... almost everyone. This member had an air plane and we got to see it and that was pretty cool! We stopped by this other members house and she was like 80 and on oxygen. her dogs came running out and barking and then all of a sudden we start hearing howling sounds. i ask her what that noise was and she said. "Oh thats my neighbors wolves!" Her neighbor is an Indian and has 5 Full Blooded Wolves in a cage in their backyard. It was kind of cool but kind of sketchy at the same time cause those wolves wanted to take a bite... or two out of me!
On thursday we went to this mans house and his name was Jim.. he called us the day before and was telling us that he needed help cause his neighbor said his house looked abandoned because of how tall the grass and weeds were that was growing in his yard. He had got our phone number from some missionaries like a year before. So we went over to his house and his yard was a mess! So we spent 2-3 hours mowing his lawn and making it somewhat better looking. He wasnt a member but i invited him to come to our service this sunday and he said he would but he didnt come! That night we had a lesson with Paul Abendroth and Jennifer Herrington both at 7. So we had to go on splits with some members. I went with Joe Odom the Stake Patriarch and Elder Hedberg went with Bishop Brent Hill! I taught Paul about the Word of Wisdom and half of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The only thing he has a problem with was drinking tea.. But everyone in Texas has a problem drinking Tea! I asked him how he felt about baptism still and he said. "i feel really good. i think i will be ready for the 28th" i was so excited to hear that! he also said that he believed Joseph Smith 100%! That was even better to hear!
Friday was a good day. We went back over to Kandies and Annas to stress the importance of coming to church and they keep making up excuses so if they dont start progressing. we may need to drop them and i dont want to do that! Cause i really love these people and want to see them make and keep Committments! After lunch we went on an Exchange and Elder Cardenaz (Spanish Elder) came with me to my area and we went to visit some people. That night we had a lesson with Zoe, Tad and Kallie Nackos. They are so ready to be baptized but there mom isnt a member and hasnt given permission yet:/! We watched the last session of Conference with them cause they didnt watch it. I colored a picture of Spongebob and Patrick while we watched it haha! I'm really working hard i swear!;)
Saturday Morning we went to visit this member in hospice and ended up teaching her neighbor that seems pretty interested. Her name is Colleen Ralson and she is only there for about 2 more weeks and then she goes back home. she broke her leg and thats why she was there. Later that night we went to visit Tom Deborrello! He wasnt home for our appointment earlier this week so we stopped in on him and had a lesson with him. He still doesnt know if there is a god and he prays to Jesus Christ not god. So we committed him to pray to God and ask him if he is there and he said he would do that.. so we will see what happens. Sunday was a fantastic Easter and was a very special day.. Where we get to remember our Savior Jesus Christ and what he did for us! I hope you had a good Easter as well!
