Stories for Mom same day!!! :D
lol a few more funny times this week, Elder Angerhofer and Elder Wilson were teaching there progressive investigator this week. the investigator told him that he had already been baptized, and instead of trying to tell him the importance of THIS baptism, he very boldly tried to say that that baptizm was invalid. and what it translated out to say was your batptizm was handicapped hahaha man I love it! those elders are awesome! Our investigator is doing AMAZING! well one of them. He has come to church, read the book, prayed and this week we are comitting him to be baptized, he just has to stop living with his girlfriend lol yeah that will be fun :D yeah... darn I will have to check my journal and write you about the week because I only remember a few things.... I didn't get any mail from you this week... OOOOOOHHH GUESS WHAT?! I wrote grandma and commited her to go to church! guess what she did!? haha she wrote back and said she did, I'm going to commit her to read this week in addition to going to church, I got a really bad feeling last week about her, there isn't all the time in the world for her to lolly gag around I KNOW grandpa wants to be with her in the eternities! so we need to git her into shape to spiritualy lol I hope it helps, I Also have a letter for skyler! but I do not know his address, kinda "throwing down the gaunlet" but I feel like it will be good. so I will write again today. miss you hope all is well!
