Another week in Texas...

We're teaching this lady who isn't totally sure about God (she isn't atheist though), but is married to a super solid returned missionary dude who teaches better than we do.  It's pretty cool.  She was at church this Sunday.  They actually come most weeks... We're just trying to help her have a good spiritual experience that she can recognize.

 

Luis (the UFC fighter) is still way solid.  He wants to get baptized, just can't get off work...  We're trying to help him there.  I guess there's not a ton to report there haha.

 

Elder Walker got stung by a scorpion!  I was so jealous.  He told me it was nothing to be jealous of haha.  I would've taken a picture, but I forgot until after I destroyed it.  Now we check our shoes before we put them on haha.

 

So if anyone knows where to find some good polyester ties (especially with a sorta mexican looking pattern) let me know.  Those have come to be some of my favorites.  Polyester because water doesn't mess it up (so I can sweat on it and wash it) and mexican because it's awesome.  I don't know if they even still make polyester ties, though...  I know the favorite missionary brand (Wembley) is no longer in production.  Haha at least that's the favorite of a bunch of missionaries in the Mighty TSAM.

 

So something that has really been standing out to me lately is fasting. Isaiah 59 has a really good little section on the law of the fast.  There are two verses that explain what it means to really fast, and five that explain the blessings that come from it. 

 

Also, Judges 3.  Ehud is my new hero.  One of them haha.  I like finding out when people are left handed now. 

 

Something we're really pushing right now is family mission plans, especially short-term, action-based ones.  We're working on a template for one that will be super awesome.  I'll send it next week, and anyone who would like to implement it, should (with the help of the full time missionaries in the area).  I promise it will guarantee a powerful, spiritual missionary experience within a month.

 

So I'm running out of time now.  Talk to y'all next week.
