I had the best week of my life

(opening his call)

I had the best week of my life this week. OK so it was Thursday
night and it was about oh 8:00 and we were out tracking for about an hour
and we were not finding anyone to talk to, but we heard some one behind
us and he was practically running to us. He said, "Man I am glad I caught you
guys. You guys are missionaries right?" We said that we were and he was
like oh that's great. He said he had a lot of questions for us and we were
glad to answer them. We talked for about an hour and taught him the first
lesson. It was so cool and he wanted to know more is that not cool or
what? His name is Brett and I will inform you on the progress.

Still have their agency.

(at his eagle court of honor)

So last week lets see, well Monday I wrote you and well that's all I did.

Tuesday I don't really remember much. I just visited people and watched Elder
Walker take a 3 hour nap, yep! Slacker! But he is type 1 diabetic and
has to take insulin all the time and the med's he has to take I think
makes him tired. But anyway that's what we did and we saw a dead raccoon.

Wednesday we hung out with Bro. Forny. He took us out to lunch and we read
Scriptures to him. That man is so nice, I think we are the only thing
that keeps him a live. After all he is 95 years old!

Thursday we went to lunch with Bro. Fonry again and we read scriptures with
Brother Sheperd. He is a something or other in the army. I don't know what
you call it anyhow.

On to Friday we had a fun time tracking and getting shut down again and
again. I felt like that companion on the best 2 years how he said "I have
ran almost a ten K and no one has even stooped to talk to me" and my comp
said "I thought you had that lady with the walker cornered" and I
said"yea until she sicked her dog on me."

Saturday was boring. All we did was tracked and froze to death. Yep, that
was all my Saturday was about.

Sunday - We went to church and went to Sis. Clark's house we talked with
Jessica, her daughter, who got preg. at 16. She does not think that God loves
her and we have been trying so hard with her to make her see that the
repentance process is not a slap on the wrist, but more of a healing
process. Like Jesus said, "Come all ye ends of the earth and be converted
that I may heal you." So we did not even get a commitment out of her and
when I got home I had a mental brake down. And Elder Walker had to tell
me that every thing that they tell you in the MTC is not true, that in
the MTC they teach you that you get a baptism every person you find, but
its not true people. Still have their agency.

love elder black
p.s have you sent that package yet
