Monday was pretty good. I bought a Rubik's Cube and this last week set a goal to learn to solve it and I did. I can now solve it in like 3 minutes so that is pretty cool. We also had dinner with this....interesting family.
Tuesday we had our family history activity and we all shared our stories. I was the first one and it was pretty cool. I used the one story about Alex Shular. It was a pretty cool day, and everyone was dressed up and all old looking. We had some fun little games and President also gave us some instruction. Wednesday was fun. I was on an exchange with Elder Hubbard and we had a pretty good day. He is pretty new to the mission and this area, but he had a good grasp on how we do things. I was able to provide some good training on how to be more patient with the Lord and His timing. He took it pretty well, he is a hard working Elder.
Thursday we did weekly planning and it was actually really good. We set some great goals for our week and for our investigators, but this is when the week really picked up, big time. We saw Nancy Hernandez and talked to her about one of her friends who may be interested. We are actually meeting her today and she accepted to hear our message. We had a great dinner and this small town Mexican place and they had some good, big burritos. We also went and visited a shirtless Canadian, Brother W...cool guy, don't ask.
Friday was, WOW. So first we met this hard core basher who said we spit on Jesus' name every time we speak our lies. No lie, for me, I was going to kill him but did not. I held my peace until I had had enough and said, "I don't care" and we walked away. He continued to yell crap at us as we were leaving so that got me testy.
We had another lesson with the girl who stopped us in the Mustang (Notice how he remembers what kind of car she drives haha). Her name is Jeanie and she is so solid. She loved the lesson we taught and we are meeting her again on Tuesday. We tried to set her with a date, but it didn't work this time, so next lesson she will accept (He's very confident). We also had a great dinner and lesson with Curtis and Pauline, and they are just progressing so much.
Saturday I was on an exchange with Elder Hales, and that was, oh so perfect. We got in contact with one of our hard-to-find part members and he set up a lesson with us and wants to get his daughter baptized before August so that was cool. We were also able to go to a baptism in the other ward. I had found the part member family last transfer so that was cool to see. We then went and tired by a LA (less active) and he said to us, "Elders, thanks for coming over. It is my time to come back to the church. I want the lessons". His name is Brother H.
After, Elder Hales and I had dinner with the Lassens and they brought a non-member friend. There were like us 2, and 5 RM (Returned Missionaries) and everyone involved the lady, Kellie. She is already prepared and told us she knows the church is true and that she just needs the lessons so she can get baptized. She has been around the church a lot and has decided it is her time. Elder Hales is doing so great. He is a great leader and a great teacher. Such a great day.
Sunday we had a great Sabbath. We got to help pass the Sacrament and teach the Gospel Principles lesson on prayer so that was really cool. We had a great 5th Sunday lesson on new teaching the church is putting out. We also taught Brother H the first lesson and he totally opened up to us and he and his wife want to come back. Man, it has just been such a miracle filled week. NO LIE, I thought I was dreaming with all this great stuff happening. It has been so cool.
Well family. I am being so taken care of and I am doing so great here, NO NEED to worry at all. I love you all so much. have a perfect week and I will talk to you all soon.
Have a great talk dad, and mom, keep reading. Scott and Shell MUAH.
Love Elder Routledge
