Robert vs Zone Training

Loloma!!!

Alrighty well this week went by in a blur.  We were able to have some good come out of this week with a less active family coming to church. They have an 8 year old girl they want to be baptized so we have been teaching them all.  The mother seems really desirous to live the gospel and do whats right but she has absolutely 0 support.  Pretty sure thats what keeps her mostly from being active.  The Father hasn't been active since he was 16 and he has some major word of wisdom problems that he doesn't seem to care to get rid of.  With that in mind, that is what we talked alot about with them this week.  Word of Wisdom.  It made me kinda sick to hear when we asked the father if he wanted to commit to live the word of wisdom he just said straight up he doesn't care.  I saw the mother out of the corner of my eye put her head down....I that hurt her pretty bad to hear that.  I felt obligated to basically rebuke him for that since he "didn't care."  I basically told him that when he came to the realization that he loved his family more then his addictions he would be able to stop.  He didn't have anything to say to that.  Then they all came to church!  Did my heart good to see that, we will see what happens this week.


Haven't been able to meet with our recent convert this week due to more health stuff with his daughter going to SLC a lot.  Hopefully everything will work out and he can progress.  The man that hadn't come to church for over 40 years has been active for about 2 months now so thats awesome to see. I broke the 110 copy mark for Book of Mormons handed out this week.  I don't have an exact count cause frankly I don't really care about the numbers but I know its somewhere around there.  I was asked to do a zone training on talking to people with the Book of Mormon, dangit....whatever it will be fun.  We are also speaking in 8th ward this week on "clean speech" so that should be interesting.  Got about 5 months left, going by quick...I suspect that I will be here til towards the end of October then I will move on to my last area.  Those last 12 weeks are going to go by so fast...especially if I get moved soon.  Oh ya mom, I remember one sunday at church you leaned over and told me that I had 23 weeks left til I came out....well I have like 22 weeks left til I come home.  Weird.  Well that's all she wrote folks!  Thanks for everything
