Week 56

I am SORE!! I was on bike most of the week since we ran out of miles in our car, and that wouldn't be so bad, but I realized my tires were low, not enough for me to tell, but enough to really drag! So I got them properly inflated, and its so nice! We got a ton of work done this week, it was awesome!

I'll tell you about church... cause it was funny! There is this guy bradyn in our ward who is just about to go on a mission, and he brought a friend with him to church. There was a speaker in sacrament who was talking about how keeping the commandments will save you money! it was a good talk, well he moved to the Law of Chastity, and how keeping that commandment will save you money, and I was sitting with Bradyn and his friend, and his friend shouts "Yeah, and it will save you a lot of pain too!" well the speaker took it well, and rolled with it, and moved on with his talk, "Not to mention how much money it will save you if you were to get an abortion. Abortion is a horrible thing as we all know, one of the worst things out there" and our friend piped up again "Yeah, it can be bad, but it can also be really good." Ha, how awkward! our bishop just looked at him and shook his finger. He didn't make any further comments. Ah, its always interesting bringing people to church. We are working with a guy dale that we are so afraid to bring to church! we are pretty sure he's been involved with some very hard drugs. It's really sad actually, and we are trying to help him out as much as we can. We will need miracles... thankfully that is something that occurs all the time!

We did a lot of tracting this week! Not a whole lot of good stories from it though, sadly. Oh wait... one I guess... not that cool, but we talked to one guy who was shaking a lot. He said he was going to be going to prison in about 30 minutes for 20 days. We gave him a book to read in prison.

We had an awesome lesson with the Welchoffs! the spirit was so strong, Morgan was crying, same with her step mom. She has read through a lot of Alma! she's in Alma 10 last time we talked. We are going to set a date for baptism with her soon!

Last month (July) our district had 1 baptism. August, we are planning on having 15 or 16! that would be the ZONE record in one month. It is going to be an awesome month!
