Sounds like a totally fun-filled week! :D That's funny about the weather who knows maybe we'll get a snowless winter again. :) Its starting to get a bit nippy here in Des Moines the wind is a bit chilly. :) So I don't have very much time cuz laundry and other stuff took longer than normal and we still gotta do a bunch of stuff so i'll try not to rush too awful much. :) This week was super legit! We read out of the Book of Mormon with Abinadi (isn't that the most legitly amazing name ever??!!!) Aguierre-he is a Hispanic boy in our ward-and that was a blast the Book of Mormon is the best!! Then we went with Brother Spencer-he is a total boss-and read out of the Book of Mormon with Madison again, we read twice a week with him and it was super awesome! Tuesday we gave service helping people learn how to speak English it was the best!!! So every Tuesday at one of the libraries here, we go and we help all these Vietnamese and Chinese and Japanese and African people learn how to speak English it was super fun!! Hahahaha man those guys are funny. :) We then went and read the Book of Mormon with Curtis and then we went to the Poole's house (members) and ate dinner and then talked about their fears of doing missionary work and how to overcome them. We then gave them some pamphlets and invited them to pass along two of them by November 8 and they were totally willing!
We then helped the Robinettes get rid of MORE of their stuff and then we went knocking. Hahaha so one of the houses this little Asian lady answers the door and says, "I don't speak English I'm Burmese have nice day." And then she kindly shuts the door. Hahahaha we were like "....ooookkkk?" The funny thing is we've ran into a bunch of Burmese people this week! Des Moines is so diverse! We then went with Brother Greene hometeaching and totally got a potential investigator from the lady that we were hometeaching's sister!! YEA YUH!!! Thursday we had an AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC zone training meeting and like two hours later we totally met this awesome girl named Lindsey and using the training we'd just gotten about inviting to baptism on the first lesson, she totally accepted!!!!!!!!!!!! That night we went to the Diaz family's house and played Scrabble cuz it was Beggar's night so we couldn't do anything else. So Iowa has the 30th of October called Beggar's Night-which is when all the kids go trick-or-treating and such- and then the 31st of October is Halloween. So its kinda like two holidays one after the other-idk its weird-but both nights at six o' clock we had to be inside our apartments and stay there unless we were with members. But the Diaz family was like "oh we can totally pick you guys up and you can come to our house and play board games and such." They totally saved us from epic boredom for two nights straight! :D
We did a lot of yard work for the sister's investigator-Terah-Saturday morning and that was a bunch of fun just raking leaves and moving gravel and belting out Imagine Dragons songs. :) Then we helped the Robinettes with their big moving all the furniture and stuff to their new house and now they're nearly all done with everything! Oh and it was so awesome cuz I finally met Sachigo! She is this older suuuuuper sweet and nice little Japanese lady staying with them. :) Hahaha she is the best! Then we went to some of the Easter Lake elder's baptism and Lindsey totally came!! And she thought it was really cool!!! Then on Sunday she totally came to church and really enjoyed it too!!!! WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!!!! After church we did a bunch of finding and the only person we really met was this HILARIOUS older guy whose name is........wait for it.......you'll never guess it........MICHAEL JACKSON!! For real thats his name!!! Hahahaha he ended up not being interested cuz he is a minister for another church but he was super awesome! We then went to try to contact a former investigator but found out that he had moved and the guy who lives there now is a member who has been inactive for like 10 years but he was super appreciative of us dropping by. :) We then met this super nice blind lady named Janet and had an awesome discussion about the Restoration and she totally accepted the baptismal invite! Awesome awesome awesome week!!!!
Love,
Elder Logan Flake
