First Baptism/Bad week

Mom,

Hey things are going good here, yeah i have been out a month now. It has been a freaking long month that is for sure. The baptism went well, it was a good turnout! now if we could just get his mom to church. Chris decided he wanted one of the priests to baptize him so it was cool! My companion is good, we get along great!  But it is good. It is still so freaking hot down here. Our scheduels are always all over the place, besides studying for 2 hours in the morning and things like that. So down here in oxford it is just me and my companion in the whole area. And it is the 3rd biggest area in the whole mission, so we have a lot to do. But on the 28th we are getting sisters down here in oxford so we will see what happens. Sisters are usually way annoying, especially the ones in our district. So now they are stealing our food and our car, we have to take a bus every other week now to. Then pdays we do whatever we wanty until 6 so we go mtn. biking and other stuff. So that is fun. 

 

Story of the week: This is a pretty sad story it hit both of us pretty hard this week. So we have an investigator, her name is Roxanne, She is around 35 or 40. Elder clason found her a little before i got here. So we have been teaching her and we taught her everything she needed. Then last sunday we get a text that says hey guys idk if i want to do this mormon thing so thanks for all you do. So when we heard that we immediately went over to her house and talked to her about it. She got pressured by her friends to go drinking and smoking again after she committed to the word of wisdom. So she felt guilty for that and another thing she felt bad about was question 4 in the baptismal questions which deals with serious crimes, abortion, or homosexual relationships. We dont know which but we felt abortion which is to bad. But we had president petersen come and totally cleared her up. then yesterday she didnt come to church so we stopped by her house and her husband wouldnt let us talk to her and told us that she didnt want anything to do with the mormon church. so he pretty much dropped us. Which is to bad cause she knew it was true, pres. petersen knew she knew it was true, and so did we. But there is a scripture that says it is better to not have known me at all than to know the truth, then to deny me. So we hope she comes around. sorry it is a sad story of the week.

So yeah that is how we ended our week, hope it gets better. I love the new scriptures so thanks for those! and sweet the khackis should be good, i also have those ones that i wore to school too maybe? anyway, thanks for everything. I will talk to you in a little while!! have a good week. LOVE YOU. LOve the babies too
