Hey how are you guys doing this week?
I'm doing good this week. It was kind of a rough week for us it seams like everybody around us kind of abandoned us. All of our investigators never called us back, all of our recent converts, or most of our dinners. It was a way out of wack week. We tried to do our best but we didn't end up doing much and pretty much everybody rejected us at the door. So it was a big trial of our faith but at the very end we finally taught somebody on the door step the last house we knocked on this week. He was really nice and accepted a book of mormon and said we could come back. So hopefully this will go well with him. Our baptismal candidates are doing good They had a busy week i guess but both of them are still on track to be baptized sometime, were not sure when quite yet they still both need to come to church a few times and then we well see after that. But my guess is it will be the end of july when they both will be. I did get the memory card and it was awesome. i will Send the package this week with everything in it.. if i remember. We are low on miles and i don't want to bike with it so it might be the end of the week or the next monday. I haven't gotten anything else yet. It looks like yellowstone was fun and you guys had a good time. Loved the pictures. We did more service this week too. On saturday we went with a good chunk of the stake to help in the city north of us. We ended up going with most of the missionarys to a huge field were this guy needed help cleaning it up so he can put his cows back out there. So they took a ton of trailers and we picked it up and threw it on the trailer and dumped it by the gate. It was crazy though we found engine blocks in the middle of the field not to mention tons of random pieces of everything you could think of. Some of the sticks were thrown so hard that they went in the ground about 2 feet and we had to pull them out not to mention random pieces of fence post in the ground. It was super fun by i got way dirty and was dead tired by the time we got back. I pretty much collapsed when we got home and took a nap during lunch to recover then we were out biking around trying to talk to people. Oh the weather is super hot its been in the 100's everyday this week and theres not much chance that it will change. Lets see thats about it for this week nothing crazy happend besides that. Oh we got a new bishop that was pretty crazy i wasn't expecting that haha. Well i'll talk to you guys next week!
Love ya guys
