Hey everyone! so this week had some interesting things happened this week. We got totally blindsided on Saturday. Chris our investigator apparently thought that Elder Clawson was hitting on him because he would keep on smiling at him and stuff like that and I guess Chris used to be inclined in that way so that was a little awkward to find out haha. Next time we see him we will have to clear that up. We had Zone conference on Tuesday on it was really awesome. But I have been making these pictures that we cut out and got laminated and I made one for the plan of salvation and for the restoration. We don't really have a family to use them on yet besides the senators who are all members already but they made good guinea pigs. I think they will be helpful when we teach family's and help the kids pay attention. The Blevins family which is the family that I talked about in my last email that was in the last house that we knocked on well they called and said that they didn't really want to see us so that was a let down but we are not letting it get to us. We are really hoping Chris doesn't drop us to because of the whole situation.
This is definitely a rough area when we knock on doors everyone says im already Christian I don't need to hear what you say and they close the door. And there are very few young family's or young people here because they have closed almost all the coal mines. So they have all moved out to find work. So pretty much everyone we do teach is very set in their ways and have been for decades. We were out walking downtown logan again trying to talk to people and its crazy how they see us coming and evade like people will be talking in a group and see us walking towards them and they will all cross the street and talk on the other side or they will be walking look uo and see us and dart into a store or hide around a corner so it was funny but also discouraging. but we were out for a couple of hours and were able to talk to a handful of people hopefully something will have touched their hearts and make them interested. One of the craziest things around here is there are tons of these little drive through stores that just sell cigarettes and tobacco. Everyone around here needs the word of wisdom haha.
We got some sweet confederate flag rings this week
We are working hard and loving it. I may have gained a couple pounds...... of muscle haha I wish but I started this diet thing and im running and stuff so I can get back to were I was its not like im huge but ya haha. Like all excess food gets taken to our house which with the holidays means lots of fuge cookies cake and nothing healthy haha.
love you all
