Week 89

Wow has it been a crazy week! 

First off transfers were this week. My new companion is Elder Balderee. He's pretty cool. He is from Saratoga Springs. He's also only been out three months! They keep sending me all these new missionaries to keep me in line!

We have been trying to get in with this former for a few weeks now. She finally answered the door this Saturday! When she answered she said she was not interested because she had a bad experience with past missionaries. I asked her what happened. To her response she said, "Y'all believe in being baptized by the holy ghost and I don't believe in that." In my head I was think lady what are you talking about?! She continued to say she believes in the the Holy Spirit only, not the Holy Ghost. Ghosts are of the devil. So I asked her, "What's the difference between a ghost and a spirit?" she replied with, "Well, a ghost is a ghost, and a spirit is a spirit!"... Well I guess you can't argue with that. 😂😂 I read some verses in the Bible about the Holy GHOST. Of course she then said, "Well my Bible doesn't say that. It says Holy Spirit." Needless to say she was crazy. And started saying that we're going to make good fathers one day. Then she said that I was a farmboy. She could tell because I had that gurr in me. 😂😂  Whatever that means!

Now for a cool story! What happened was our landlord Tara asked us what happens when someone dies without hearing about Jesus. We then taught her the plan of salvation. It blew her mind! She had that question since she was a little kid. She said she would get kicked out of Bible school for asking that question. Then we invited our landlords Mike and Tara to an organ concert that a missionary held. They came with us and felt the spirit so strong! The next day she said she couldn't get the way she felt out of her head and new that there was something special about our church. She said, "I'm interested in joining your church, or at least see what it's about." We committed her to come to church this week and she also said she would read the book of Mormon and take notes on what she liked and any questions she had as well. Super awesome! 

A lot has happened which is good! Keeps us busy and makes it go by quick! I can't believe I only have 17 weeks left! That's all for this week, love y'all!
