November 12- Kansas?
   
Hello everybody. This week went pretty well. A lot of our investigators are not progressing, so we have decided to make more efforts this week to find new investigators. We have been tracting a lot and finding some decent success. We have decided to let our ward mission leader be in charge of where we tract, and we will be the ones who tract. Since missionaries are in charge of teaching and baptizing that leaves the responsibility of finding up to the ward, so we have been trying to get that to happen. So we found another Spanish family tracting this week, the dad speaks pretty good English and the wife speaks none. We tracted into them and they were literally just leaving and they said to come back, so we did. We showed up and we taught the father a lesson and read from the Book of Mormon. He says there is such a spirit that comes from us and he really believes us. His wife on the other hand, is a super catholic so this does make it challenging. We are invited back whenever so we will have to watch the restoration DVD in Spanish and bring Brother Moss, who speaks Spanish as well to to  do the talking. We also tracted in to a lady named Zeda that we will be checking in on this week.
     So we taught a lesson to Hannah again this week, and it didn't go super well. We taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ and she agreed with everything, until we got the the part where we told her she needed to be baptized again. She doesn't see the need for authority to do baptizing, nor does she believe we have it. We almost lost her in the lesson but luckily Elder Staley was able to save the day. We ended the lesson by pointing out how many miracles had occurred in setting her up to visit us. We also talked about the spirit she felt when she read the Book of Mormon, she won't deny those things but she is so set in her religion that making the change will be hard for her. I just hope that she won't reject the truth because it will require a change. We will keep on her though.
     We also had a lesson with the Keaths. Jennifer is the non member that we are working with, and her husband David is excommunicated. Their big hold up is the word of wisdom and they are trying to get overt that. We tried to have a lesson with them where we talked about the benefits of  not smoking, just so they can get a clear picture of the blessing that come along with it... but Brother Keath wouldn't have any of it. They will quit their coffee and smoking on their own time frame. I was disappointed that the lesson was pretty much rejected, because I wanted them to set a date for the future (even if it is for 6 months) just so they have a island to row to. Oh well. Elder Harter also sent us a referral. We contacted her Saturday night and she said she was coming to church but Sunday morning she said she wouldn't be able to due to sickness but she set up an appointment for Wednesday. So stay in tune for more developments on her.
     Other than that nothing super odd or worth noting happened this week. The wheel keeps on rolling. Thank you for all your prayers and keeping me in mind. Lots of love!
