My week was awesome! Tuesday morning we had a lesson with one of our investigators named Tom Deborrello. He is 70 years old but looks early 50's. We taught him the plan of salvation and he told us that he wants to believe it but he just cant get past the concept that there is a god and he loves each and every one of us.. He tells us that he prays to Jesus Christ and can gain great comfort by doing that. so as of right now we need to find a way to wear he can feel the presence of God or see a sign that he really exists.. We tracted a lot that day and found a few potential people. We tracted in a trailer park and dogs everywhere.. every day i come home smelling like dog cause everyone here in Texas has a dog. We call them the "Texas Doorbell" cause every house we knock on you here barking inside haha. well later that night we tracted houses and a lady opened the door and let us right in.. Her name was Beverly Chandler haha.. My moms name and friends last name! weird right? well we got her information and now we hope we can get back in to teach her. We taught Kandie and Rickey later that night.. Anna was at work so she wasnt there.. we taught them the importance of praying and reading the scriptures.. they are coming along pretty well but we need to keep on them!
On Wednesday we had District meeting because of transfers and it was Elder Hedbergs first training.. it went well! That day we went to Bullard Ward boundaries and went to see less active members.. later that night we had a lesson with our investigator Paul Abendroth.. we taught him the Plan of Salvation and he really liked it and he wants all of this to be true! He met a girl online who is a member in Utah and this is how he became interested in the church.. I asked him to be baptized and he accepted:) He has a date set for April 28th so hopefully he will progress to that date. I know he will:) On Thursday we went over to a members house and helped her and her dad burn this huge burn pile.. it was probably 30 feet long and 15 feet wide and about 15 feet tall! this fire was huge hahaha. I loved this because y'all know me... i like to play with fire.. Pyromaniac!l I did not burn myself as i was throwing gas all over the fire;) but i did destroy this huge Fire ant hill by stabbing it with sticks that were on fire.. i got bitten a few times but not bad haha.
The rest of the week went pretty mellow until Saturday came! I love Conference!!! Every session of conference was fantastic! I think the Priesthood session was the best though.. it always is haha.. sorry all of you girls out there;)! we did not have any investigators come to the Saturday sessions but on Sunday Paul Abendroth came and watched the whole morning session and afterwards i asked him how he liked it and he said that he liked it a lot and that i brought up a lot of stuff going on in his life and he said that he was going to go home to take care of that.. I think he was talking about Repenting! I'm so excited.. He came back to the Afternoon session too and he really liked it! So we have another appointment with him this coming Tuesday and we are taking the patriarch with us:) My favorite quote from this conference was By Elder Donald L. Hallstrom and he said this at the end of his talk: We need to be fully converted to his church and fully converted to his gospel!
