We taught Jim Bradley twice, the first time we had Bishop out with us and we had an awesome lesson with him! We planned to teach the plan of happiness but decided to read the introduction of the Book of Mormon. It was awesome! Jim read the first 11 chapters on his own before we showed up and both the restoration and plan of salvation pamphlets! This guy is awesome! But he is struggling with his skepticism of God. Jim is in his 70s and lives alone in a nice house. He is hoping to move to Philadelphia soon to be close to his 2 daughters. He grew up Methodist but has always been skeptical of the fact of life after death. He is going through chemotherapy so he is always tired. He is retired so he has a lot of time to sleep and read things we give him! He really absorbs everything we teach which is awesome! He was going to come to church but felt it would be sacrilegious because of his skepticism.
We taught the Rodrigues family and they are awesome! Israel is awesome and came to church but Audrey did not! We're teaching them every week now and their fellow shippers. We had lots of people tell us they were going to come to church but didn't show. :)
We are working hard and trying to see people at church. But we are learning that God's time isn't our time. The blessings aren't always baptisms.
I love you all and am excited to see you!

Oh also this week was the last home game for the Hawkeye! So we got signs and and set up at booth down by the stadium and gave out free hot chocolate! It was awesome! Tons of drunk people but we had fun and gave out lots of cards!
