This week has
been pretty normal. Monday night we taught a couple family night lessons to
members then went by the H’s home trying to catch R (active non member) home
but only caught her husband (less active member) home. Yeah kinda confusing....
Anyway we caught him in his garage building guns. Apparently he is a licensed
gun manufacturer. He's got a lathe, CNC mill, and some other cool stuff in his
garage that he uses to build entire guns with from start to finish. Super rad.
We talked with him for a while about guns and eventually were able to turn the
conversation into a somewhat spiritual message about the last days.
We did quite a bit of service for random people this week which I love doing. Wednesday we had a random exchange and I went to Elder Richardson’s area with him for the evening. We spent most of it asking members for referrals and met a lot of cool people. I am kind of glad I was there that evening because I was able to be there for another lesson with H. (who I committed to baptism last time I was there on exchanges).

J. keeps
pushing off our meeting due to work so hopefully the one tonight happens. T. is
progressing slowly, but still progressing. His doubts and concerns are becoming
less and less of an issue and I can tell he is starting to recognize the spirit
which is super exciting.
Thursday night
we went to black bear diner... Friday our dinner canceled so a member brought
us Costa Vida... Life's rough out here.
We met loads of people Saturday. We got the feeling we should just start knocking doors and in one circle we met like 3 less active families. In each family the moms were expressing interest in returning to church so we're gonna spend a lot of time with those families!
Yesterday was fast Sunday. All the sacrament meetings we attended were really good. A big focus of the stakes in this area has been keeping the Sabbath day holy and being reverent in sacrament, and we have seen a change. A few weeks ago I guess we promised to teach a young women's lesson and were reminded about 5 minutes before class... So we stumbled through that... Haha but it was fun. And last night we were blessed with the opportunity to finally catch R. H. home! We shared a message about general conference and she promised she would go back and watch some talks since she didn't get a chance to last weekend. And we set up a return appointment!
So it's been a cool week. It's been in the mid 70s all week which is super hot for this time of year I guess, but I love it.
