| Some of our district (He still doesn't have a belly!) |
Well, this week was awesome!
So we have two couches in our apartment and one of them is a big leather one that had all this NASTY crusty stuff on it but we cleaned it up and gave it to one of our potential investigators because she needed a couch. Hahaha so that was kinda fun clorox wipes are a miracle. :) We then popped by Kevin's house to see how he has been doing and he has been doing awesome and hasn't drank for like a week!!!! We then went by Chris's house (he is a potential) and talked to him and that was.....interesting. He is a really nice guy but we think he might be a pathological liar. But we love him nonetheless and are doing the best we can to help him. :) Hahahaha so
on tuesday we were helping out at NorthStar and we played the board game "Life" with Jeremy and travis (two of the patients) and it was hilarious cuz we're all super bad at it! And almost the entire time we were there, there were a bunch of other NorthStar patients playing Just Dance 4! I've never laughed so hard in my life it was so great watching them all dancing and having a blast! :D :D We then went with Lincoln Ackerson ( a member of our branch) to Dave's house and we taught about half of the plan of salvation before he pulled out a bunch of anti stuff on us. Man i don't like that stuff its spiritually destructive. So keep dave in your prayers please. Then we went to the Austin's house and watched the video "finding faith in christ" and man! That one is powerful!
Wednesday we went with Stefan (pronounced "steh-faun") Larson and we went and had an AWESOME lesson on the Book of Mormon with Brian and Rebecca! They are an awesome family we met with a couple we
eks ago and taught them the plan of salvation. But it was awesome! They've both been studying hard on our church and they had alot of really good questions and they are totally honest seekers of truth and really prepared. :) We then went to Brad+Angie's house and raked their yard, had dinner, and then EPIC AWESOMENESS HAPPENED! So elder hollan was helping angie with dishes talking to her about the Book of Mormon and me and Brad were chilling by the fridge talking about priesthood authority and wow! It was so cool because he has some really deep concerns about the priesthood and the spirit totally told me what to say and brad was satisfied by my answers! It was the coolest experience i've ever had in my life. :)
Thursday we had an AWESOME district meeting on using the Book of Mormon to respond to objections and then we went on exchanges with the Waverly West elders. Elder Olson and i hit our area and we went and taught the plan of salvation to kevin (it was a bit of a rough one but oh well) and then we went and had a legit discussion with Paris and Bria!! They haven't been praying at all and only reading the Book of Mormon a little so all we taught about was the importance of scripture study and prayer and wow! It was like a spirit BODY SLAM at one point because we were all feeling it so strong!!!!! Oh and we
finally connected with James (he is the 15 year old guy who has been inactive and anti) and at the end of our discussion he said he'd try reading the Book of Mormon and he said the closing prayer for us!!!!!!!!!!!!! MIRACLE!!!! Then we went and taught Wilma about temple work (baptisms for the dead and eternal marriage) and it really touched her that she could be married to her husband forever. She is moving to Waterloo, Iowa in two weeks so we're fairly sure that she won't get baptized in Waverly but who knows? Maybe she'll get baptized eventually she is so prepared. :)
Saturday we helped these older people move to Denver, Iowa for like four hours but it was a blast and they fed us lunch!! :D We then went with Sky Holmgren (member from our branch) to janesville and we tried this one house and it was CREEPY! So the day before, we had been in Janesville and met this older lady named Katherine (she isn't all there but she is really nice) and set up an appointment. The first thing we noticed was her sun porch had an open container of mothballs on it so it smelled
really bad but the creepiest part was the mounted deer heads. There were like five mounted deer heads and there was mascara+eyeliner+lipstick on them and it was the creepiest thing i've ever seen in my life!!!!! Ugh it was freaky deaky! We then went to Henry and Susan's house and it was amazing! So the two previous lessons with them has been a kind of a bashing atmosphere because all they've done is try to prove us wrong but we would never bash back so they would just get frustrated. but this one was just a really simple lesson about the Book of Mormon and it was really good we were all touched by the spirit super strongly. :) And then
Sunday!
So first off, Kevin shows up at church and he'd shaved and had a haircut and he bought a white shirt, tie, dress pants, and sunday shoes and he looked awesome! The Atonement has totally begun to change him inside and out! Man he is a boss! Then Sky and Stefan both gave their mission farewells (Sky is going to California, Stefan is going to Sweden) and it was awesome. :) Elder's quorum was super awesome cuz we had this lesson on loving others and loving God and it was powerful! That evening we went to the Larson's home with the West elders and they fed us amaaaaaazing pork and we had an inspiring lesson on charity and elder olson gave a powerful testimony. He is going homethis thursday at transfers and he has been such an awesome missonary i'm gonna miss him alot. :( But thats the week! Oh and we get transfer calls today!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
Love,
Elder Logan Flake
