One Transfer Down

This week was a little slow because we had a few things that took up a lot of time. On Tuesday my companion had a leadership training in Bloomington so I went on exchanges with another district leader's companion in their area and their area was a bike area.This posed a problem because I don't have a bike right now because mine got stolen. I had to use the other elders super old and beat up bike. While I was peddling down their street I had just got to the bottom of a hill and the whole crank arm fell off of one side of the bike. The elder I was with didn't see and kept peddling. I had to walk up the street waving my peddle in the air trying to get his attention. We road nine miles and man was I sore I hadn't ridden a bike for that long in a long time. It was hard and of course they had some decent size hills we had to go up. Man I am glad I have a car right now because that was exhausting! 

On Wednesday we had service at the food shelf like always and I am out side on "butt" duty sweeping up the cigarettes butts with another elder and we started talking to this guy and he was kinda crazy. He just told us how much better the world would be if there were no people in it at all. Then he told us that he eats Bambi's that he kills it was super weird.

That day we taught harry and committed him to be baptized on November 1st. I know he is going to make it he is super solid. We taught him the word of wisdom and then right after the lesson he went in to his room and gave us all his coffee to throw out for him. That was super awesome! 

We had a really intense lesson with an investigator who has been investigating for over a year. The member we had with us just called him out and really made our investigator just see it how it really is. It really hit him hard and I think he realized what he needs to do better to get baptized. Hopefully he does those things. Members make such a big difference!

On Friday we had a lesson fall thorough so we went to stop by a house where a potential investigator lived. It was a different guy than we talked to before, but he let us in and we prayed with him and then taught him the restoration. He had worked for Marriott before. He found a Book of Mormon while he was working and so he is interested. We should start teaching his whole family now so that should be awesome.

On Saturday we called up this guy who had been taught 4 years ago. He invited us to go and do service with him at this Middle School that he was building a set for a play at. We did that for like 2 hours and then he took us to Denny's he was super nice and has read the books in the quad once through at least, but just doesn't agree with some pre-life things. He still isn't ready, but maybe down the road he will be. 

Sunday was good we had Harry at Church again this week and he stayed for all 3 hours. He loved it again. He told people that he justs wants to become one of us so that is awesome. Then we had a lesson with an investigator whose view on everything go straight in line with ours he lives the word of wisdom and the law of chastity without even knowing what they are. It is crazy he just needs to come to church once and gain a testimony about the Book of Mormon. He would be a solid member.  He is super active in his church right now tough so it is hard to get him to ours on Sunday, but he promised he would find a sub and come once. Hopefully he will hold true to that promise. It was a good week over all hopefully this one is even better than the last!

till next week 
love,
Elder Howe
