WEEK 24

Hey everybody I don't have a lot of time to email today because we have our P day switched to Thursday so we can go to the temple. They are still giving us a little time to email today though so this onewill be a little shorter.

Last P day we watched Ephraims Rescue with the Berniers and I really love that movie. We have stopped by a lot to answer all of Amanda's questions she has had from reading the Book of Mormon. It seems like she has been reading nonstop and always has really good questions.Yesterday we went by and she asked a lot of questions that I never asked myself that I wanted to know the answer. We figured it out though so that was cool. She just started Mosiah!

We went out with Aidan again and went and saw Alicia with him. She let us right in which was kind of surprising. She had a friend there named Lisa and we kind of talked to her a little bit. She knew a little bit about our religion so we tried to talk to her and see if we could teach her anything. I soon realized that she was anti about our religion. Elder Huntley kind of started to Bible bash with her, well she actually started it, but Elder Huntley bible bashed back. Shewould ask us what we believe on a specific thing,  like where we believe we go after we die or something like that, and then she would take a scripture out of the Bible and tell us we are wrong because of this Scripture says this. I was getting a little frustrated and I was trying to get Elder Huntley's attention and tell him we needed to leave, but she Bible bashed on Aidan a little so Elder Huntley didn't like that. Anyway after we left Elder Huntley felt bad for Biblebashing, but it happens to everybody.

We went and saw Steve again, he is letting us use his tools and some pen parts and wood to make our own pens. As were making stuff we would answer his questions or teach them something. We didn't get to finish making them so we will finish this week. We went and saw Neil, the guy who we helped move out, and they are super open to having us come over and teach them. Neil is Jewish and his wife goes to a bunch of different churches. It was kind of weird because like a week after we helped him to move out his house caught on fire and he lost a lot of stuff.

After church yesterday we got James and Bernie started with family history so they can take names to the temple and do baptisms for the dead. I didn't know a lot so it was mostly Elder Huntley but I helped where I could. We got them a few names to start with, but they are going to come to the church on Wednesdays and do family history with one of the members here.

On Saturday we went up to cottage Grove with the Amanda and the kids to see a baptism of a family of four. Amanda drove us up so that we could save miles. The baptism was of a single mom with three kids. It was really cool to see and Amanda really liked it and also liked the talk that was given. Blaine wasn't able to go because he had to take Amanda's mom to the cities. But on the way back we went and ate at Burger King and when we were leaving we saw Blaine in the parking lot. That whole family loves Burger King so it was kind of funny that they both wentthere.

Anyways not much happened this week anyway so I look forward to talking to you all next week!
