Week 6-March 13 2012

Well another week gone by. Time has just been flying by, I guess thats what happens when your having fun! This past week has been a good week. We're staying super busy. We havent really been teaching to much tho which is kind of disappointing. We have 2 families that are investigating the churh, One family is basically ready to be baptized. The mom goes visiting teaching and they pay their tithing. The joke we have is they're dry mormons and we just need to dunck them, but theyll come around in their own time. The other family is a part mamber family, the dad is an inactive member and has been away from the church since he was like 14 so we're working on getting them back. Im not to good at teaching yet, but I know it will come with time. I have been meeting tons of great people. We dont do any tracting, because its not effective at all, but we have been doing a lot of caontacting. Im not to great at it yet but im working on it. I have gotten a lot better at talking with people tho which is definitely good. Part of the area I am in is called wine country. Theres a ton of winerys and vineyards. I cant wait to see what it looks like when the grapes are in season. People live in wine country so we head out there a little bit, mostly just for dinners usually, so we're not wasting our miles. Sunday we had President Cook come and speak in our sacrament meeting. He is so great. He spoke on members being missionaries. Everytime I hear him talk I swear hes a general authority. His talks are always great. He basically threw down on the members and told them things they needed to do. one thing he said that I really like, He said, " We need to change the nature of our prayers. Instead of praying for the missionaries we need to be praying for oppurtunities that we can have to be missionaries and find people for the missionaries to teach." I thought that was way cool. Yesterday I got a letter from Felicia, it was a great letter! I also got a package from grandma. It was so great to finally get mail It always makes the days better. I also got a letter last week from the stake. So mom why wont you just get better I bet its no fun being sick. Have you been going to work at all? That sucks that its pnemonia. Youre welcome for the letter I forgot to ask in my email so I figured why not send a letter. One from mr.macs will be fine. It doesnt matter when you send the package Im not in any hurry to get any of that stuff. I am doing so great staying busy and basically just loving life! the weather here is always warm and sunny which is definitely good, but i really do miss the snow and all that fun stuff. The day light savings the other day pretty much was ridiculous. I dont think theres anything you can do for me right now I think I am fine for now but I will let you know if i need anything. Thanks for everything mom youre the best! I Love you!! have a good week and get better. Love Elder Rindlisbacher
