The Work Rolls On!

The Work Rolls On!

So I am sure that most of you know about the special world wide broadcast we had for missionary work. Well if you didn't watch it you should because it was great. Anyway it talked a lot about the work and how  the work is going to be evolving here in the next year or so. Its too bad that I will be missing a lot of the changes but that is ok.
So we had 2 new investigators show up to church yesterday, both of them were member referrals. It was so cool, one was from the Gilsons. Their land lord's daughter is a member so she wanted to see what we were all about. Her name is Mary, we will try and work with her in a bit but I think she really enjoyed church. We also had the Estradas bring a friend from work to church and he participated in class. I hope he had a good time, we are having dinner with them on Wednesday so that will be good to get some insight into josh. Mark came to church alone this time and we got him to say the closing prayer for gospel principles and he did a great job. So we finally had a lesson with Mark and his family, Mark was put off from the church because of the things he heard about our church from the history channel. After a while we were able to show him he has heard all about the church from every one but members of the church. That opened his eyes. Both him and one of his daughters agreed to take lessons so that is good to hear.
So Duk.... Duk was supposed to be baptized this Saturday we have hit some bumps. His girl friend is back in the picture. The first time we showed up with her there she came to the door and handed us every piece of church materials we ever gave him. We are kind of the reason she got kicked out of the house so we thought she was just trying to scare us off. She seemed a little to happy to hand us the books. The next time we came over duk came to the door and told us he can't join because he doesn't believe in the spirit world because it contradicts the bible. The last time this happened it was because he couldn't quit smoking. We are pretty sure he is just looking for an easy escape and with the drama of having his GF back in the house he just wants a break. She is getting out of the house on the 3rd so hopefully we will be able to address his concerns then. He doesn't want us in the house right now because his GF just hates us.
The Shaffers are doing just great, didn't come to church yesterday because Tabitha has a bad ear infection that caused her to go to the ER Saturday morning at 4. So we pray she gets better. 
Well this letter is pretty long so I will end it here. Thanks for your love and prayers. stay classy!
