But, let me enthrall you with my week. Tuesday we had District Meeting and went to a place called "The Cow" afterwards. Pretty good stuff.
The Cow with the Heifers.
We went out to dinner with the Running family. Good people. After we tried a neighbor of some members that we accidently knocked on instead of said members. So this time around they let us right in. Chase's uncles are Bishops so he is quite aware of how things go. We had a great conversation about college and the Hotel business. In the end we gave him a new copy of the Book of Mormon and his wife immediately started reading it. We'll let the book do the work.
On Wednesday we went to the DC temple with our man Frank. It was a fantastic time. Spirit was strong and it was good.
On Thursday I weekly planned for the last time, except I didn't really do anything. I made Elder Campbell a tie though. Cranked it out in 2 hours-ish. We also had a productive evening, we met two brothers who both accepted copies of the Book of Mormon. That was good. Doing the usual trying people who talked to us at least once.
Friday, we visited Kevin and Rita, read some of the Book of Mormon with them, answered questions about specific people's sins and whether they'll go to heaven. Ah. We also visited a family that night. The dad is less active and not wanting to change that. The wife is severely Catholic and doesn't want to convert, but she is interested in learning more about us because we're interesting like that. She asked some good questions. We gave her some chapters to read.
We also got a bible referral that night, and we called the guy and saw him within an hour of when he requested it. His name is Rickey. He was cool, we showed him LDS.org and he watched the Joseph Smith Movie after we left. We'll be seeing him tonight.
On Saturday we met with our ward mission leader which was productive. That night we saw a investigator that dropped Elder Campbell before I got here. She told us she was thinking about calling us and having us back over. So now she's down again. Pretty sweet. We also saw a lady from Africa that night. Her name is Beautiful, and she was soliciting her 19 year old daughter for marriage to us. Pretty funny.
Sunday was a good day. My last Sunday as a missionary. Pretty freakin' weird but enjoyable. We invited a good amount of people to church, but that didn't happen. But that's life, and I learned a long time ago to not get your hopes up until they are in the door.
But it was a great week, we worked hard. I've been reading a lot of "Jesus the Christ" this week. I finished the book Wednesday and promptly restarted it, and am 300 pages in already. Its helped with the trunkiness for sure.
