The most interesting week of the mission

Tuesday- Lots of cancelled appointments. We went tracting and the first door we knocked on let us in and we were able to teach the Restoration. He wanted us to talk to his sister as well, who was having a hard time. We had dinner with the Donahays and were able to practice the new teaching style on them. They loved it. I'm in love with it too.

Wednesday- We had to take the car in for an oil change, so we went and tracted a nearby neighborhood. We went to try to contact a potential. He wasn't home, so we started talking to his neighbor. By the time we finished talking to him, the potential came home. Come to find out, he had been in jail for the last few days, cause his car had stolen license plates on them. That's the way he got the car.

Boss stereo!

Thursday- Hump day. Year Mark. Whatever you want to call it. We struggled today. 5 cancelled appointments. We went out with our Bishop and he told us what he thought would be the best use of our time. He wanted us to work the ward roster and do all we can to give service. Then he bought us ice cream.

Friday- District meeting. I went on an exchange with Elder Hubbard. We actually had an appointment go through. We taught this guy named David a brief Restoration lesson and he accepted our baptismal invitation!!!!! He's set for July 11th. We had correlation that night.

Now that's a burger

Saturday- We did service for Brother Diettrich. We went tracting, and we met a very interesting man. He came out and right off the bat, tried to convince us that we were wrong. He said he was an Isrealite prophet. He believes in Christ, but his view of the bible is all sorts of backwards. He preached to us for 40 minutes. He told us to read the Torah probably 50 times. He kept pretending to cry, and he was hitting on us. I've never been more scared of another human being in my life. I can't explain everything about how weird it was, but I think this will suffice. We had dinner with the Tuppers, then went out with Brother Donahay, but had no success.

Sunday- We had food after church.  A lot of it. We gave a blessing after the meal at Bishop's house. The person was a friend of Sister Given. We did some tracting, then had dinner with the Jones family. Brother Jones came with us to a lesson. The lady's name was Katrina and she said she'd think about being baptized.

What made this week the most interesting week of my mission? Here are some statistics.

We were offered alcohol 4-5 times.

We talked to 3-4 people that were wasted. One of them started bawling when Elder Lewis gave him a Book of Mormon. He hugged Elder Lewis like, 3 times.

We were hit on 3 times... and not all by chicks.

We talked to 3-4 Hispanic people.

We met the Isrealite "Prophet." That was probably the most interesting contact ever.

We had 15 appointments fall through.

We found 4 new investigators.

We set one for baptism on July 11th.

Alma 26:11-12-"But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God.

"Yea I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."

This is what came to mind when I was thinking about my year mark. I have learned to rely more heavily upon my Savior for my strength, my wisdom, and my skill. Without him, I am nothing. He makes his servants mighty in word and in deed. Love you all. Have a great week.
