good news, i can hear again!
well, I'm having a hard time remembering what we did this last week. it was over a week not being able to hear out of my right ear and for a day i could not hear our of either ear. so i was kind of sad for a while. but i got my ears flushed out and now i can hear again.
we had a zone conference with my old zone and my new zone it was really good. we talked about how to use the book of Mormon to teach as well as a bunch of interesting information about the book of Mormon. we were challenged to give away a book of Mormon by the end of the day and we completely forgot about it, and as we were walking home we ran into a less active member who is starting to come back and her friend and we gave her a book of Mormon we did not have much time to explain any thing about it so i hope the less active girl remembers enough to explain the book correctly to her friend. but when we got back to the house we remembered the challenge and we did it with out even realizing it.
we visited an investigator that i had three months ago and we talked with a friend of hers that was there she said she is a member but is really inactive and we tried to get a time when we could visit with her but she said she does not live here but her mom does and then she said where her mom lives and i recognized the address and her mom does not actually live there but her brother does and he was an investigator before they divided my area so i know every one in her family from different things. her brother is a mechanic right out side our house, we say hi to him almost every day. her other brother was my investigator and we found her parents one time selling popsicles. her sister works in the store and we tried to talk with her one time. the funny thing is we had no connection using the other members of the family we just kind of found all of them and realized they are all family. but sadly none of them want to take the time to talk with us.
we went to the temple visitor center with our investigator and his family. his wife before did not really want to listen to us but after the visitor center she said she really liked the idea of an eternal family and she is thinking about baptism but first she needs to get married before they can get baptized. the good news is this time i don't think there are any problems with divorce.
well that's it for now have a good week every one
