"And the next day it's run run run"

Hey there Momma!

I don't really know how to describe this week. If you were in it, you woulda hated it. But now that it's over it was a pretty good week. One day we would have an appointment at every hour or even less and we were just go go go and the Spirit was so strong. The next day: NOTHING. No one out. No one interested. Felt like the Spirit said, "Sorry bros. No one for you today. Check back tomorrow."

But then the next day it's run run run.

Every other day looked gloomy and hopeless. The key word was: Endure.

But the other days made up for it.

This week is gonna be bike week. :/ Usually look forward to it but... Not here. Not now. People think we're crazy for even being outside. Then we say, "We're from Utah." Usually settles it.

(We spend most of our time in Pine Bluff. We have one investigator in White Hall. Our apt is technically in Pine Bluff. We have to walk about a mile to get into White Hall city limits to do any work.)

We have been teaching some amazing people. This area is SO ready for the gospel. I think Pine Bluff could use another set of missionaries. The fruit is so ripe. Just gotta pick it.

We are working with a wonderful gentleman named A in Pine Bluff. It's so different and amazing teaching him because he internalizes every bit. We could teach him a whole lesson on repentance. We actually did. It's cool. He's not jumping into it like how most people would. None of our investigators are. They are all really taking it to thought and praying a lot and studying. Neat.

Well. That's it.  Glad everything is going good back home.

I LOVE YOU MORE!
