We had an investigator text us in the middle of the night last night to tell us that the Ducks lost. Really? Oooh man. It's ok though, cause it has nothing to do with my nor anyone else's eternal salvation :?)
I just realized the question mark looks like a funny nose on the smiley face. Anyways! Transfers tomorrow! I'm staying here, and Elder Moen is going to Buena Vista to be a Zone Leader, and he's only been out for 9 months. He's pretty excited, and scared at the same time. Mostly excited to be around such a large concentration of members, but all those girls are still off limits on his mission, so thats its too bad for him. I'm glad that I'm not going around all that temptation. An Elder named Elder Kelsch is coming here from Elkins, WV tomorrow. No one knows anything about him, so I'm nervous. He's been there since he came out in July, so I guess we'll see. I bet we're gonna tear it up out here though.
We've been having a rough week in terms of tracting and such. We've been let in a couple doors, which is great, but so far not many return appointments are going on. We've tracted into a Community of Christ member, which used to be the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints. We dont really know how to go about teaching her cause we have to essentially convert her to Brigham Young and everyone past him. Also, we're teaching the brother of Billy Ray Cyrus now, along with his wife. They're both really cool, and really like us. From what we've heard from people is that Billy isnt as good as his brother at guitar or singing, but he just got the lucky break. I'm excited for them though, theyre really great people.
Things have really been settling down lately too. Rob, whose wife just left him like 3 days after Christmas, and after 16 years of being together, is starting to realize that he's done some bad things and that he needs to change. We were about to drop him cause he wasn't keeping his commitments, but he's been reading frequently now, so we're holding onto him for a little longer to see how much he'll progress. If he chooses to join then great, but he needs to get his priorities straight first.
It's snowing again. We called something called tellme and they researched a couple forcasts for the area. one said 2-4 inches, one said 3-4 inches, and then one said 6-9. Yea, I hope not, but we'll see!
Well, thats all I really have this week. Love y'all and hope to hear from y'all soon!
