Wednesday we had exchanges again, but this time with the Anoka elders and I stayed in Andover and it was not a good night. All of our plans and our backup plans fell through so it was a pretty slow night the only person that didn't fall through that day was Harry and he never falls through so that is super good! Harry is just so super awesome he is a solid member. He just loves the church with all his heart and you can tell. It is awesome to see how much he has changed!
Thursday was cool we got to teach one of our investigators who took a brake for a while again and he said he wants to get baptized, but he wants to read through the whole Book of Mormon first so we will see how that goes. Then we went and helped our investigators Dotte and Mike set up and decorate their tree. Dotte's mom is dying and will pass on soon so having us help decorate their tree was a big blessing for her because she has so much that she has to do right now with her mom. It is crazy how just the littlest acts of service can affect someone's life so much it is great to see!
Well Friday is where the bad comes in. We had a good day up until that night. We had just been tracting and then we were going to help the sister's teach their investigator who is getting close to baptism. They live a decent ways out in our area so we drove out that way and were tracting along they way. Then 5 mins from their house I am driving and the car just stops accelerating so we had to pull off the road. It would start, but it wouldn't run it would just die as soon as it turned over. So the Sister's investigator came and tried to jump us, but that didn't work either so we had it towed to a Goodyear. I will continue this story later in the email!
So Saturday morning we had a Zone service where we went to a church where they had gathered a bunch of toys and we helped parents go through and get Christmas presents for all of their kids it was such a fun service project. Doing service out here is just so much fun! Back to the car story after service we go to the Goodyear and they said they would look at it so we were there for 3 hours and he comes out and says they found the problem. Then he comes out 30 mins later and says well your car still won't start so we will have to keep it here over the weekend. We were not in our area so we just walked to the church from there and got a ride back to our apartment. So we had to get a ride everywhere on Sunday. Then Monday we got a call after Mission Conference and they said it turns out our car needs a new engine so that sucks. So we have to get it towed to a dealership for them to do it. Hopefully we will get it back soon! Our Mission Conference was awesome there was a lot of good training on how to use this Chritmas time to our advantage and how to use this "he is the gift" initiative to our advantage. If you haven't seen the video yet watch it! Then show it to all your friends because it is a super powerfull video!
Then after all of our training we got to watch It's a Wonderful Life and that was awesome! We had Eggnog and that was great! That night we went to the Bishop's house in the other Ward to have ice cream because one of the sisters in our district is going home. That was lots of fun. Then we got permission to watch Frozen. So this morning before she went down to Bloomington we all watched Frozen as a District and that was awesome. It was lots of fun! As you can see lots of fun and exciting things happened this week so that was awesome but that is all.
So till next week
Love Seth!
