Week 93: Training in Shawnee

This past Monday we went to the OBU campus and did a little bit of rock climbing with one of the students who go there. He is a member of the church and is on the football team and he is willing to hook us up with whatever we need and is helping us turn OBU into BYU-O! That night we had a really good impromptu lesson with Jon Herrera and his family! They aren't good at giving us time on when we need to be at their place so we just drop in and teach a lesson then. They have had a lot of death in the family so we went straight to the plan of salvation for them. They loved it. The daughter in law even jumped in asking questions so that is a potential new investigator.

On Wednesday we helped one of our investigators, who is in a wheelchair, clean up his garden so that way he can plant vegetables. It was so much fun honestly. He has really softened up to us and has been listening to a lot more. He does not keep large commitments well but the small stuff he is willing to follow and commit to so we are working on getting him big steps now.

Friday we found a really cool guy. We had been tracting for 2 hours and found no one but at the last house, we found Joe. He has an agnostic belief but has a lot of questions. He is not convinced by faith at all and wants all logic so we were trying to help him know that logic can only get him so far and faith has to play a part in it all too. I am excited to show him more. We taught him a good chunk of the restoration too! 

We got transfer updates for my last transfer. Elder Capron and I are staying but... We are trio training. This is going to be so fun!
