What is he saying??? STOP!!



Holla Moohair,
This week was pretty dang good. All the lessons we had were only with members and we were able to teach that Family of 5. Turns out the Wife, Miriam, is the one really interested. The Husband, Les, is a
Comparative Religion teacher at the University in our area and isn't as interested but he isn't against in so
that's good. They have 2 daughters ages 12 and 10 and then a 6 year old son. But we were so crammed on time that we weren't able to have that long of a lesson with them so that will have to happen this weekend. Miriam is from Tanzania. She grew up Muslim but her family wasn't practicing. Les is Methodist and his dad is a Methodist Preacher. The member we brought with us was Brother Nieman and he stayed afterwards to talk with Les and he said that Les ended up sounding a lot more open than he thought. So we are really excited to work with them!

We had a lesson with the old Hindu man, Mr. Soni and then also took him to the New Member Fireside
that our mission does. He really enjoys church and wants to become Mormon he says. So we talked with him about Baptism and about the Baptismal interview questions and he said that he agrees with almost all of it except he does not want to pay tithing and he doesn't know if Jesus in the Christ. Now we know where to work with him!

We had a pretty good lesson with Scott. His mom just passed away so it was a perfect time for us to
talk about the Plan of Salvation. The lesson was going great but the member we had with us started teaching
some non doctrinal stuff that made even Elder Timmons and I look at each other and be like "WHAT IS HE
SAYING...STOP!!!!!" hahaha. Scotts face was priceless during those points. So ya that was....interesting.

We did some more service for Ray. We went crazy with his Weed Eater and so we worked around the areas that he had cut down. All the bees were dead this week though so there was no trouble there.

We had to pass of Silvia and Nicole to the Hermanas because when we came back over for the lesson, she
just wanted to talk in Spanish the whole time and not really in English. We had the Stake President with us and he spoke some Spanish so every time she had some questions or when she talked really at all it was to him in Spanish so at the end we asked which she would prefer to continue in English or Spanish and she said Spanish hahaha.

Alfredo called and said that he his going back to Honduras for a month or 2. He said he did good on
his test he felt but won't know until September 25th. But he had a lot of nice things to say and was thankful for all that we had done. He has friends in Honduras that want him to talk to the Missionaries so he might even come back from Honduras Baptized hahaha.   It was a pretty good week. Unfortunately we think Im being transferred. Basically because the thousand of Sisters that are coming in they are always the ones that get priority over the cars so they have to take ours away so I'm going to get put into a car area. So we get the call on Tuesday and we will see what happens.

Love You!!!!!
