I am doing really good. We have been staying pretty busy. We have a baptismal date set for the 15 of this month which is going to be really awesome. We just started teaching this guy about 2 weeks ago and last Wednesday we invited him to be baptized and he said yes, it was pretty sweet. We try to teach him 3 to 4 times a week depending which is awesome. He has some really bad back problems so he is on a lot of medication and it makes him kind of loopy which is really sad to see but it is amazing how the atonement works and how by faith we can be healed. This last week we have given a good amount of blessings which is really cool. It is so awesome to get to see the power of the priesthood work. Yesterday was an interesting day, we didn't have any lessons so we just went around looking for service to do and we ended up doing a good amount and we talked to a good amount of people. It is so ridiculous how summer basically ends and everyone stays inside. No one is ever out to talk to which is really disappointing. Last night we went and visited one of our investigators to see if we could set up a time to go back and have a lesson and while we were standing there Elder Goble asked for the guitar that they had and he started jamming out on it and then he made up a song about them coming to church. It was so funny.
Sunday, Elder Hanny from the 70 was in our ward here for church. It was pretty cool to have a 70 there. He was in our ward council and he helped make it better which was really awesome. Saturday we helped the Bishop paint his fence, that was pretty fun. the Bishop here is such a great guy, he is an awesome Bishop. It is so awesome how as a Missionary you basically have a free card to be awkward. Last week we went to visit a golden potential and we were talking with her in her front yard and her mom came out and we started talking with her and it was such an awkward conversation her mom really didnt like us being there. While we were talking we found out that she had grown up LDS but had some bad experiences. Her dad and step dad were both excommunicated and she didnt know that we believed in CHrist she thought we worshipped Joseph Smith. it was really weird, and we havent been back since which is disappointing. but we are going to keep trying. Oh and also while we were talking we asked about her husband and she said Jesus was her husband, it was just really weird.
Hope all is going well and I hope you have a great week!
Love, Elder RINDLISBACHER
