A Rough One

This week was hard. We had transfers this week and Elder Debloois is gone, and now I have Elder Stevenson. He is awesome. He comes from St George. He is super funny, knows how to love everybody and is also a hard worker. We are determined to crack Emmen instead of letting Emmen crack us. This week we didn't see a whole lot of results, but we came home every night tired out and feeling happy. We worked hard and finished every night out. 

The District

On Tuesday, we had a lesson fall through, and I was super frustrated with every lesson of every week falling through, and I determined that the next person who opened the door was going to get a full force blast of restored gospel in their face. We knocked on a few doors with no answer, and finally a door opened that we have knocked on several times before. An older lady came out and we just started talking to her, sympathized with her interests and asked if we could come back and talk about he nature of God. She said that was okay, but she wouldn't give us her phone number or make an appointment. But we told her that we would be coming by on Thursday at 3:00. The miracle was that she was there. She kept on insisting that she has her own view of God that is different than ours, but as we taught her, she could not help but see a clearer picture of God. Elder Stevenson asked here if she would come to church and be his friend because he doesn't know anybody there yet, and she said yes. She didn't show up yesterday,l but we will follow up and see what happened.

While we were out knocking Saturday afternoon, some guys put poop in our helmets and and the rain guards of our tires, and stole the nuts from my front axle so the wheel would fall off as soon as I hit a bump. That was no fun because it was 40 minute walk home and all the stores were closed, so we have had to walk 40 minutes at least 4 times a day to get to work. Can't ride without the nuts.
