October 24, 2011 The Good and the Bad--that's how it goes.

Hey guys, so this week had a couple of cool things happen and a couple of not so cool things. That's really how it goes though.

Anyways, so we were going to a members house and we were waiting at a bus stop and we hear this car really revving its engine. We look around the corner and we see this stalled car in the middle of the road (blown transmission) and we run out there and ask if there is anything we can do. ( I am sure she was thinking "duh") So we end up pushing her little European car down the road across an intersection and into this auto shop. It was really cool that we got to help someone right at that second. It was definitely scary though.

Then later on in the day, we were walking down the street talking about how pidgeons don't fly anymore, they just walk everywhere. Then out of nowhere, this pidgeon comes swooping down nearly hitting this guy in the face. We saw this all happen and watched the guy with a funny look on his face. Definitely one of the funniest moments of the week.

So we have been hit hard numberwise this week. The whole zone has been hit hard and we don't really know why. Maybe it's not the right time... Oh well.

Nothing really new has happened in the last week other than interviews with President which went well.

He talked about using service projects to make the Mormons get out there. He also talked about using surveys too. It sounded interesting and we are going to have to check out what the ZLs did for surveys.

We had an interesting lesson with an investigator who might not actually be investigating. We talked about a ton of different scriptures pertaining to God, and when we finished, he sealed the deal with, "There are lots of interpretations for these scriptures..." And kind of took it down that road. It's unfortunate that we might drop him because he wont make any progress, but that's the nature of the game!

I guess that Zone Conference is on Thanksgiving this month and there is an awesome member there who is going to cook for us! I am so stoked! She cooks for all the Zone Conferences as well as other missionary events. Members here really know how to hook us up! She even said that she was going to go to Grafenwöhr (sp?) and pick up some American stuff off of the base. Yeah!

Thanks guys for sending me so much mail!

(Keyboard at the internet shop is horrible so sorry it's not too long today.)

Love you guys!
