so today was our P-Day! This week was actually really awesome! So those people I told you all about last week, they all fell through and we are not teaching them anymore. The kid Brian who was 13 was really hesitant so we just asked him do you want to still be baptized and he said no not really, so we were like "chau." No but after I am emailed you all last week that night we went out with a member and just contacted old investigators around his house. He was awesome he would just go up to people and just show them The Book of Mormon and be like "this book can change your life" he was so bold. But that night we found a lady named Laura and she was pretty good and we set up another visit for another day. She is not married, she does not work she just lives with her sister and nieces she is probably 50 years old. She committed to the 28th for baptism! We gave her a Book of Mormon that night and told her to read 3 Nephi 11 and we called her the next day to see if she read. And she read and said she loved it! Our next appointment with her was Wednesday and about 3 hours before our app Wed the assistants called and were like hey can we send the secretary down tonight, and he come and work with you guys. So we were kind of freaking out and so we made sure our plans were good, and when were doing that Lara fell through on us! And our member we had fell through on us! We had to go to our backup plans, and contact some references and old investigators with him. He was so good at just talking to people he was really bold and taught us a lot. At the end of the night he came back to our appartment he just basically said they are checking out all the "tough" areas and see what is going on. But anyways Thursday we went back to Laura to teach her The Restoration, and when we entered the house she was talking to us about her smoking problem. So we dropped The Restoration and taught he The Word of Wisdom. She said she really wants to stop smoking she said she only smokes like 10 cigarettes a day! So we set some goals with her and she was excited about it! We went back Friday to teach her The Restoration. This was like the first time I have taught the Restoration inside sitting down with and investigator. I have taught others inside and I have taught The Restoration in a lot of front yards. My job was to introduce The Restoration and do the first vision and talk about Joseph Smith. When I started to say the first vision, in the middle of it she just started crying. And right after I just shared my testimony because that is always the best moment to do it. She was like " I never cry I don not know why I am crying, but I don't feel sad." It was awesome! We asked her if she believed this was true and she said yeah! Also her niece was listening and it was so great! We invited her to church which was stake conference and they said that wanted to go. Sunday morning we went and picked them up and they came to church! They loved it and they were telling all the members they are going next week too! Anyways it felt so good to bring somebody to church and to have a progressing investigator. She is still doing awesome! We talk to her everyday and she is excited about baptism and she just needs to leave smoking by the 24th!
"Yeah so Tuesday night we were out with a member and we were standing in the street talking and these 2 dogs started fighting right next us. And they were like all over each other and some how they came right in the middle of our group and one bit me in the leg! The second time in like 2 weeks! This one hurt a lot more, that was a week ago today and it is still sore. It was not bleeding but it left a little bruise! I hate dogs, they smell, they bark and they bite. So now the next time a dog bites me I am just going to kick it.
"So yesterday was transfers we are both staying in the same area this transfer, but Elder Laudie is District Leader this transfer. He is super nervous but it should be fun! Also we ran out of water about 3 days ago so we boil water and she just take showers like that so that sucks. I do not know when it will come back on but I hope soon!"
