Another Week

We had a great week this week. We got 5 new investigators!
But more importantly I got kissed by another man. That is two for the mish. I still got game.
Jason came up to us yesterday and he kissed me on the neck and said "Greet your brother with a holy kiss, it says that in the bible"
Creepy. He was extremely drunk. Funny guy.

Mark and Dawn Hansen are a family that we are now teaching. They have a 6 month old son named Bradley. He's a cutie. They were awesome. We set up a first lesson with them and Dawn had cupcakes ready for us! Usually people forget we're coming or they ignore us but this lady made us cupcakes! It was way cool. Then we taught them. Mark knew less and wanted to know more. He has never really had a church or been to church so he has a blank slate. Dawn has more of a background and some animosity for religion in general. She doesn't like the hypocrisy of some religions so she is hesitant to jump into anything at all. We are working with them and we will see them again tonight. Great people.

Then we have Mike Waters. The other day we were on 11th avenue and Summitview and Boswell said we needed to go to Sonya's place. She was like 25 blocks away and when we got there it is about 50 blocks from home. Sonya is useless too. Its pointless to knock her door. But we did it anyway. We walked down to 7th street and knocked her door and she didn't answer even though she was home. Useless. BUT, on the way there we ran into Mike. He came up to us and we felt like we needed to leave him with a pamphlet and a Book of Mormon so we did and we told him we would be back on Sunday. we met with him on Sunday and he loved it. he had read before we came which is more than anyone ever does. Then we taught a lesson. He loved it! it was awesome. We just need to talk about baptism next time we go there. Mike is solid.

Denim Moore is a referral that we have been trying to contact for weeks. His dad was baptized and we were told we should go over there. we did and he has been impossible to contact but finally we did yesterday. We taught a killer first lesson. the best first lesson Boswell or I have ever taught. We tried to put him on date to be baptized but he was hesitant to put a date on it. He said he would be baptized once he received the confirmation from the spirit that the Book of Mormon is true Joseph smith was a prophet etc. But he didn't want to put a date on it yet. His dad was baptized though and he is ready. He is almost there we just have to work with his crazy schedule to meet with him more often. He is kinda a recovering drug addict and he lost custody of his kid. Now his son, denim jr. is living with his dad. He is trying to get his life back in order and is doing a good job starting. he is 37 years old by the way.

That is 4 of the new investigators. Stacy is the other one. She is just a nice lady. Told us she would read but needs about 2 weeks to do so. So we are just giving her some space so she can sort these things out. She has two pet ducks ha ha. They are named Barbie and Que. She is just a chill lady. Open to try the "Mormon thing".

That's the work. We are being blessed!

I love you all!! thank you for your thoughts and prayers and letters. I appreciate it so so much. Keep sending the letters.

Love,
Elder Paxman
