An unedited version :)
This week has been really good we finally got our kitchen cleaned up from the explosion out of the sink but the only problem now is we cant get the drawers in anymore cause every thing is all warpped. so that is the only bad news i have this week. we have met a lot of really cool people this week and we are going to start teaching them a whole lot more. one of the families we are teaching wants to get baptized this weekend but they are not ready, they are deaf and we have had there 12 year old daughter translate for us so we are going to have the lessons the right way with a member who knows ASL translate for us. but they will get baptized really soon after we can get all the lessons done. Also one of our investigators got a job up in Seattle for a couple months and she is going to get baptized some time in December so it is going to be an awesoem next few months and on top of that i get to be training the best missionary ever he is awesome. he is doing really well loves the work, works hard everyday all day, he is a machine, it is awesome. Our ward had their Halloween party this past Weekend and there were tons of people there and more than a third of them were non members or less-active members who have not come out for a really long time. it was really fun and we met some new investigators and we got most of the left over candy and there was nothing left really we got a few pieces from kids that thought our costums were cool (we were wearing our proselyting clothes). it was loads of fun did not get any pictures sorry. we have had some trouble trying to get people to hold their appointments so i dont have very many cool stories cause most of the appointments got cancelled. there was one appointment with a potential investigator couple that would let us in cause they knew that we got doors slammed in our face all the time and so we talked to them for a while. the lesson it self was relly cool how it turned out, you could see the change in them cause when we first sat down we talked to them about what they did where we came from and then when we first started to talk to them the husband said we are both strong Methodists and "we are not going to change to be mormon and we just let you in so you could have some one not slam the door in your face" it was something close to that. we said that was fine and we just were here to help them understand what we believe and what the Book of Mormon is. the wife had a ton of questions about everything we believe. so we explained to them where the Book of Mormon came from told them about the purpose of a restoration and how Christ church and the priesthood was restored. then we talked and answered her questionsshe had a lot of good questions. then at the end of the lesson she said " you know i think i am actually going to read and and pray about it" he on the other hand said nothing the whole time but you could tell that he was interested and they invited us to come back and talk to them more! it was an awesome lesson! dont you just love the Spirit, cause i do!. the blessing of hard work and dedication pull through. i love it out here and i love this work. and i love all of you.
