Elder Jacob Anderson: Sweet Week!

Hello Everyone,

Nothing too crazy this week. Tuesday we talked to a guy who's uncle told him he would live forever, and his uncle thought he would live forever too, but he died a couple months ago. He thinks that everyone that has died was killed by Satan or Satan tricked them into death. Idk hes crazy. We went on Exchanges again in Quincy on Wednesday and that was fun! On Thursday we had Zone training meeting, those are always great meetings. Me and a few other Elders from the District sang for the spiritual music note. It was pretty bad we didn't sound good haha!

We got a few new Investigators this week, one of them is Hindu and her boyfriend is on a mission in Idaho. She was over at her boyfriend's family's house when we were there for dinner and we taught her the first lesson. It was kinda weird because it's hard to teach someone who has never been a christian. Since pretty much everyone we teach is apart of another church or has been so they all can understand it better. We don't know how much of it she got but we tried to break it down. It helps that she is good friends with a member family so she can ask them questions.

Then we got an older couple named Johnny and Kathy probably in there 60's and we met them at the food pantry. We have tried to set something up for while and finally we got in one night and had an awesome lesson with them. The spirit was strong and John liked what we were saying and he said "you would have to be a fool to not get baptized if you new it was true." haha They said they really liked the lesson so I hope we can meet with them again soon. We also talked to 3 younger guys probably in the 20's and we gave them the first lesson on the front porch while they were all smoking, and it was freezing. They said they liked the lesson and would get baptized if they came to know it was true, I hope we can set something up with them soon.

I lucked out big time again on giving a talk in sacrament, there was supposed to be a big ice storm here for the past few days but it has just been raining, it’s too warm. But they canceled church anyways so I didn't have to talk! haha low key I was praying they would cancel! Jk I love church but I don't like giving talks. But now I have two talks written that I can give the next time they need me to talk.

Last night we were knocking and literally everyone had the Green Bay game on and everyone was drunk. They would come to the door then say the games on and close the door. Or there would be an old man that's super drunk and not have a shirt on and say something inappropriate and slam the door! We got all kinds of stuff last night! haha I found it super funny! So I know that green bay won in overtime with a last second kick just from getting an update at every door.

Pretty great week! Have a sweet week everyone!

Love,

Elder Anderson
