Wow this week was such a great week, we had allot of up and downs but it was great and that's how a mission is right!! Anyways.... we have taken some really cool pictures that i'll send next week.
I'm really jealous for the Hunt Family Reunion that I'm missing out on.... but that's okay there are plenty of those to come right!!! Oh and the rodeo....I really miss the rodeo and just the festival it's really been a great part of my life! The new fair grounds look really nice and looks like it was worth the money!! :)
So just a little about my week. It started out great, we went fishing all day that p day and then we had some great lessons with some investigators. On Wednesday I went on exchanges with my Zone Leader, his area is the campus of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.... that was an eye opening experience! There are about 50,000 students at U of M so it was crazy!! The contacting is crazy. You have to talk so fast and all your trying to do is just pass out a card, but it was a great time to learn and to become better at talking with people because we talked to everyone and it took us 30 min to walk 1 block! ha ha it was a very fun experience. The University of Minnesota campus is huge and a very lively campus. There was a concert that night and it was the bands THE CAB AND PARACHUTE.....we saw them walking in the back door to the concert and me and Elder Clancy were like should be go contact them? They're famous and so I was like sure why not it will be fun!! So we went and talked to the band and gave them a Mormon.org card and told them to check out the website. They were really nice and enjoyed talking with us, it was a really cool experience..... just cause I contacted a famous band ha ha. That night we taught the President of the Muslim club at the University of Minnesota. He is from India and his wife was from Pakistan so it was a crazy experience. It didn't go anywhere really but the guy was really nice and really respectful to our believes and things. I learned allot about the Muslim faith. The next morning we taught a Chinese girl from China, she just came over for school. She has never heard of God or Jesus Christ so it was a cool experience and I got to use some of my Chinese that I still remembered!! ha She was impressed! :) It was cool though and they have allot of Chinese investigators that are really looking and interested in the gospel. So this week has been full of experiences that were awesome and I would have never experienced them if I didn't choose to serve a mission. I am so grateful for that choice and the way it is going to benefit me forever!
So one of our investigators, she is 15, her sister is 26 and is a member but they have different dads. So we have been teaching her for a while now and she asked her dad if she could be baptized on Saturday and her dad said no. We were really devastated because she has received witness that this is true and she really wants to be baptized. It was really hard for us to take in, we fasted for her, we prayed, we did everything we could but it just didn't happen. I learned that there is a time for everyone and that if it wasn't then then it would be later in her life. I know that she will be baptized because I have seen how our teachings and the gospel have changed her just in 1 month and how she has become a better person.
This week was great. Thanks for everything family!
Love you all!
