Week #39

So this week was a little bit of a rough one. We faced a lot of rejection and weren't able to meet with the majority of our investigators. Terry is still doing amazing which is all that really matters haha. He is still working towards being baptized on the 30th of this month. It all depends on if he can stay away from smoking. We are no longer teaching anyone from the Janet and Kenneth family. We haven't heard from any of them which is sad. It's okay though. Can't wait to see them accept it later!

Misty and her family are still doing good. We weren't able to meet with them this week though. They have 3 kids and all of them are really active. It is hard to work around their schedules but we are for sure seeing them this week on Thursday which I'm stoked for! They're awesome!

Rick is doing okay. He love talking to us and loves it when we teach him, but he is really struggling with keeping commitments that we leave with him. We met Rick a few weeks back just on the street. He was walking around so we went up and talked to him and he gave us his address and now we're teaching him... Weird how that works haha. 

There are millions of less active members here!!!!!!!! I think there is something like 400 members and less than 100 are active. It's insane. We obviously don't see all of them but there are a few that we see weekly and are working really hard with. It's difficult when people know that the gospel is true, they just aren't willing to act on it. There are a whole lot of people like that here. Sad to see them denying blessings that heavenly father has in store for them.

Me and Elder Brewer are staying together for another Transfer! We're excited to continue to see the work progress here in the Ashland area! We're having a lot of fun together and getting work done! 

I'm going to try and send a small package home today with presents in it for birthdays. Sorry Ben... you're the only one at home not getting one haha. I may not but just know I tried to send a present home in an envelope for Liza but I just got it returned to me yesterday. I love you guys a ton and am glad to hear that everyone is doing great! Can't wait to talk to you guys in just a few weeks!!!!

Love,
