week

So this week was one of those long but short weeks. we had training all week so we were in that from like 8 till 5 for three days so that was really long and really because it was some what of a repeat of last transfer, but there were a few things that i did learn that are useful and hard like extending a baptismal invitation on the first contact that is hard. But a lot of it is just following the spirit and asking inspired questions. For training we had 7 missionaries at our apartment so that was crowded and the first night we went on an exchange with the Assistants talk about intimidating the one we were with like doesn't like to laugh so it was hard. And to make the night more stressful both our plans blew up in our face so i was trying to find something to do. So we went to a part members home and the husband and kids are not members and taught a great lesson on the Book of Mormon and finding answers to prayers so that was good. We also taught the Thigpens three times this week and the first to lessons were really good and we showed the Joseph Smith movie the one you can only see and the visitors centers it was amazing we set a baptismal date with both the mother and the son on Saturday. Then Sunday they didn't come to church and they called and said they are confused and don't know that it is true any more so we went back over and had to resolve concerns an invite them to read the Book of Mormon again. The son Westley was about to throw the copy of the Book away but he decided not to and though that he would actually read it and try to find an answer. So that helped me a little bit, i was having a bad day yesterday from that whole deal but now i am alright. This is also the first week of the transfer i am staying in Kinston bah it is hard area everything is just to far to get to work so this will be another hard biking transfer. And i created a new planner and dedicated the back to lynette being how she is dying so i will have to take pictures and send them to you next week. any way love ya
