Another week has gone by. We had a really cool story from one of our investigators. Her name is Comfort and she has purpley/pinkish hair. I know . . . AWESOME. We were teaching her about the gospel of Jesus Christ so faith, repentance, baptism, confirmation, endure to the end. Anyway as we were teaching her she told a story about how she had felt her spirituality had dropped lately and somehow just knew that we were the answer to help her get back to the point where she would like to be. She came to church yesterday and has promised to bring her daughter who we have taught too next week, so something must have impressed her about the church. Found some time this week to totally ball it up with some street boys. We were riding our bikes and saw some kids playing in the street so we decided to challenge them to a game. Yeah we lost. Pretty easily. Like a 1000 goals to 0. Almost like a joke.
We have been spending a lot more time these past two weeks working with the members and it has been pretty sweet. Our investigators just seem to feel like the ward cares a little bit more if there is a member with us. So that is definitely a plus for us since our ward is just a little weak since there has been that transition of leadership. A lady that I baptized since being in Kaneshie named Gennevive gave birth this past week. It was pretty interesting because when I first started teaching her I had no idea she was pregnant but it just became more and more apparent as time rolled on. They named the little girl Emily and she is pretty cute.
Sunday at church was super interesting. We had a man that was just way too drunk to be allowed in public. Thankfully even though it was fast and testimony meeting he didn't get up. He kept causing problems though. I guess that he was a returned missionary who had gotten on hard times and then someone in his family died and he just hit the rocks after that. Anyway the worst part was that when he would see the white missionaries he would call us white piglets. Worst thing about that was that the aps had come and also the zone leaders so there was 3 extra white missionaries. He was forced to leave the building and then came back as we were doing some of the record work so we can turn in some records this week at our zone conference. He then got on his knees and tried to shake my hand saying if anything he had said offended me that I would forgive him. It was heart wrenching. Guy's life had just hit a wall at about 90 mph. Shows that if you don't hold to the iron rod you just wander around a lot in some big empty field with nothing there to make one happy. Yeah just was a little trigger to make sure that I stay faithful to the commandments. I think that is about it. I hope that everyone is having a great week!
