Walking in the Heat and Getting Poured on by Rain

My comp and I are good friends already. We really enjoy our time together, it's a lot of fun! He's from Moab, so I'm already planning a trip to go and stay with him. He's going to show me all the Hot Spots. Including the 40 or so acres he lives on to trail ride! Can't wait for that!

This week has been hard to stay focused on the work here, easy to be distracted about fun back home. It's also hard because 2 of our most progressing investigators have lost their baptismal dates. They are lazy and comfortable with where their at right now. Don't want to come to church, they make up lame excuses....

Tina is still going great! It's difficult to get her to understand she doesn't need to know everything before she's baptized. She's pretty reserved in class because she's embarrassed she doesn't know very much yet.

Last week it took a good hour to help her understand the principle faith. So the discussions are going pretty slow....

We've been knocking a lot of doors in the rich neighborhoods, have found a few potentials but nothing too solid yet. A lot of hours walking in the heat and humidity and then getting poured on by rain. Gotta love it! 

We've got a guy whose created a list of random questions for us to answer. Some doctrinal and some traditional, others absolutely ridiculous... I've enjoyed studying in order to answer all of the many anti and ridiculous questions people ask us. I've had some humbling moments where I feel like I know nothing about our church and how to address people's concerns. Through these experiences my testimony of Joseph Smith has been greatly strengthened. He truly was a remarkable man, the most humble, faithful, sincere, honest, and trustworthy man I know. Other than Christ of course! 

I bare witness that the Priesthood has been restored to the earth again, along with all the necessary laws and ordinances needed for us to enter into Gods presence once more. This life is to be enjoyed and the time to prepare to meet God by obedience to these laws and ordinances. We find the most peace, comfort, joy, understanding, and confidence by living the gospel.  I know these things are true, in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
