Biggie Biggie Biggie, Can't You See? 10/30/17

Hey everyone!

So this week we have been focusing on involving the Lord a lot more in finding and teaching. These past couple weeks we haven't found anyone to teach. Our biggest problem has been people not willing to accept the Book of Mormon because it isn't about the Virgin Guadalupe. We met a guy the other day who told us that the three members of the godhead are: Jehovah, Jesus Christ, and the Virgin Mary. It's pretty sad but there are a lot of people that just won't part from the  traditions of their fathers. We have our work cut out for us!  Even though people don’t want to hear our message, we get offered a lot of bottled water. A lot of people don't trust the tap water here so they buy bottles and we get offered them pretty often. On top of that we get lots of cans of coke and bottles of sangria whenever we eat out at the taco truck, which is pretty sweet.

So my companion and I agreed that we were being prideful and that is why we weren't finding so we repented and made a goal to be on our knees as a companionship about twenty times daily. And the Lord has allowed us to find some more people to teach. This week we were blessed to have found ten new investigators, one of which is a family where the husband was baptized years ago and has since gone less active. His records aren't even in the ward yet but we are going to help that whole family hopefully become members.

While I was studying the other day, our neighbors were playing a certain song from a certain rap artist that I will not name, needless to say it was a little distracting because the music was shaking the walls, and it was worse because it was a song that I may have used to listen to before the mission (which I have repented of since then). The song ended pretty much right when study time ended which sounded about right with how things like that go with me but it was alright.

We got transfer calls last night and it looks like I am staying in Stockton again and with a new companion that was already serving in this area, which is pretty nice.

Love you all! Happy Halloween!
