Proud Supporter of Crime

September 19, 2017

We had the chili cook off and C came! We've been working with C a lot recently and she is progressing soooo much! She asked for a priesthood blessing for something that she felt only God could fix, and lo and behold her faith made her whole! She is awesome to work with; she said she's gonna come to church this next week and then she's probably gonna be baptized! She already has an awesome testimony and is super excited to continue to learn. 

On the subject of other investigators:

We dropped pretty much everyone else 🤷🏼‍♂️

We're going to try again with N and A in a month or so, and everyone else just kinda fell off the face of the planet. But! We found an awesome family in Springbrook who are now investigators! The mother and the daughter have some awesome potential; we taught them the restoration and the daughter was super excited. Apparently their family had been going to a bunch of different churches because their oldest daughter has a lot of questions and nobody seems to know the answers, so she asked us how she can know if God exists, so we said she should ask God if He exists. She paused for a second then looked at her Mom and was like "I've been wondering that for SO long!" So yeah, we're excited about them.

It's been super awesome here. Next week is transfers and we're thinking Elder S is gonna be booted out to Yellowknife or something. Though if its me that's being transferred, then it will probably be outlying again, unless they want me to be able to do street contacting, haha.

It's been a pretty average week, I suppose; we went tracting, stopped by some people, taught some lessons, almost got eaten by spiders, etc...

Though C didn't come to church last time because she was busy, she is most definitely going to be at the church for General Conference!!! Both days!!! Also she said that she feels God is pulling her towards baptism, so she's just doing super great.

Also transfer calls happened, and Elder S is going to Edmonton! And I'm staying here 😁 which is awesome. My new companion will be Elder B; he's also from Utah, and I met him up in Edmonton before. I don't know a ton about him, but he's a hard worker from what I've seen and heard, so it should be awesome. I'm just really happy I get to stay here for a bit longer; I'm not done with these people, haha.

I can't think of anything else super interesting, but since conference is coming up, I'd like to invite y'all to go into it with a question you want answered. It's a great time to receive the answers to questions, and it works awesomely, so do it.

I can't wait for winter to come destroy all the spiders 😁

P.S. I probably should explain the subject line, and maybe even the spider thing... so I'm gonna do that.

On the windows of some houses there are stickers that say different stuff like "security"or something, but we have found a lot recently that say "Proud supporter of CRIME" on them. It's like a neighborhood watch program or something, but the word choice makes my day every time.

Also spiders are in season this time of year, it seems. We tracted one house that had somewhat of a spider issue on the outside, and I didn't realize it until it was almost too late. So Elder S stopped at the steps and watched me walk straight into the scene from Harry Potter 2 with all the spiders surrounding me, slowly coming down to eat me. I don't think I've ever felt more uncomfortable in my life. 🕸🕸🕷😨🕷🕸🕸
