Well nothing too crazy happened this week. Actually, maybe a little bit of crazy was present. For starters, we got 2 more investigators on date! Yep! On Tuesday we had a lesson with them and they agreed to be baptized on October 24th. How awesome is that?! So we have a baptism on the 17th and then 2 on the 24th. I am pretty stoked. The first guy I can't take credit for at all because he has been taught by so many different sets of missionaries but I have been here since the beginning for the other two so I feel like I am finally getting some work done.
The other two are named Chloe and Colleen. Chloe is 14 and lives with her grandma and grandpa (Colleen and her member husband). They are a lot of fun but they've never really had a lot of family time before so they said they like getting all together to have us over. This week Colleen said, "I don't know why I'm so attracted to what you girls are saying. It just makes sense." So another plus was the women's session of general conference. We invited Chloe and Colleen and they showed up for the broadcast at the church! I'm not entirely sure that they were really into the broadcast or anything but I think they liked President Uchtdorf and his talk. We wanted to start a tradition for them so we took them out for ice cream afterward. We took them to Coldstone and they had never been there before!!!! That's insane because it's so good! So anyway, while we were there, hey started asking us about missionary life and how we got to Arizona and everything. Chloe was really interested and said, "I think I might like to do that someday". She had also never heard of BYU so we told her all about it and she says she wants to look into it. Overall, it was an awesome night.
Things still aren't good with our Ward mission leader. He is really condescending and treats us like we are babies who can't handle anything. It makes me so mad!! Whatever. I have been praying and fasting about it so I hope things get better.
Did you guys get to see the lunar eclipse last night? It was so cool! I'll send you an awesome picture of it from my view here. We went out walking last night because so many people were on the streets looking at the moon. We tried to say hi to everyone but by the time we got to the end of one street p, everybody had gone inside! Funnily enough, there were two families still out on the street and they were members of our Ward who we had never met so it turned out to be good because we got to meet and talk to them.
Other pictures....we are rearranging our apartment this morning because someone is giving us a recliner. When we moved the couch, we saw the bottom of the filing cabinet! So cool! And when we moved the filing cabinet, we saw the wall! So gross! Elders used to live in this apartment before us so I don't even want to know what is on the wall. You guess to yourselves. I will just send you a picture.
Anyway, have a good week! Smack Connor around for me since he hasn't written me back yet. It has been like two weeks! That stinker face.
LOVES
