Hi!
Lots of really good things happened this week! It sounds like a good week in Idaho too. Another W for the football team! That is music to my ears. The pumpkin blow up sounded like fun as well. I told a couple of our members about it and they loved the idea. The next time I talked to them they had youtubed it and were amazed! Now they really do know how redneck we are. Good luck with your talk this Sunday Dylan! You'll have to let me know how it goes.
Halloween was pretty uneventful for the most part. We got the usual jokes our way and people thought we were regular people dressed up as Mormon missionaries, that is always funny. It was a fun day!
Wednesday was awesome. We spent an hour or so on campus and contacted like crazy! It's such a blast, man I love it! We got quite a few phone numbers and made some good contacts. We have a couple return appointments this week, hopefully good things come from it!
Randy is still doing great, and preparing for the 27th for baptism!
We are teaching some other cool people right now that we are hoping to have baptism dates with by the end of this week. Rebecca has a baptism date but is living with her boyfriend, so we are still working with that, but we are very hopeful!
Yesterday we had a miracle happen at church. We were standing outside greeting everyone as they walked in, when a new kid walked up in a good looking suite and sharp hair cut. He introduced himself as Kevin, and right off the bat we both thought returned missionary who is new to the YSA branch. We got to talking and asking the usual questions, when it became very obvious that he wasn't a member! We got pretty excited. So we talked to him for a bit before, and then sat with him during sacrament. He liked it a lot, and our branch did a good job coming up and introducing themselves. Most of the members thought he was a member! At the end we talked and taught him some more, and he told us he had worked with some Mormons in the past, but just googled us to see where he could go to church, he just happened to come to the right place! The reason why he looked so clean cut is because he is in the Air Force, and the base is really close. We go his information and are going to teach him this week! It was a tender mercy, because of various reasons all of our other investigators weren't able to make it to church. (Randy had film/practice)
So things are rolling right along here in New Mexico! It's impossible to complain when you have a name tag on your chest, I don't see how you could. We're having the time of our lives out here, even if it is super hard sometimes! But hey, a wise man once said, "if it ain't hard... It prolly ain't worth much!"
Until next week!
