November 3rd O8

Funny story: i used to have a blue blanket on my bed when i was little and havent used it since we moved in to our new house. I now have the same blanket on my bed now, I remember daniel had it in oregon and left it here when he came home. i instantly recognized the blanket in the apartment, got looking on it and it had daniels initals DJM written on the tag. Kinda cool that i have the same blanket that i did when i was a little kid.

We live with the Kunze family in their basement apartment . Brother Kunze is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer and they are a way cool older couple. The 2 wards we cover are very nice and they take care of us missionarys very well, We always get fed for dinner and we have even had some lunch appointments. We have a lady who drops toilet paper and cereal and a whole bunch of other things at our apartment.

We tracted in to the Gitzen family. They are hispanic and have Esther the mom and a 17ish yr old son and a 12 and maybe 15 yr old daughter that are taking the lessons. They have a hard time finding time that we can go and visit. Last night we called them and the 12 yr old daughter answered and said that her family was all gone. So my Comp. Elder Burdess asked her if she had prayed to know the book of mormon is true. . She said no so Elder burdess had her read Moroni 10:3-5 to us and to pray then call us back. Abought 20 or so minutes later she called back and said that she had received an answer. She Knew it was true and said she would tell her family to do the same. . So we are hoping for more progress with that family.

We are also teaching 2 16 year old kids named chris. They are both willing to be baptised with one with a baptism date of November 15th. The other kid was kicked out of his house and moved in with a friends family who are members. HIs mom wont let him get baptised right away so we are praying her heart will be softened.
Other than that we have been working with alot of less actives and recent converts so that they can continue growing spiritually.

We tract about 12 hours a week and it it really not too bad, We have found many people that just want to bible bash. Its really annoying but it happens. We have had a few people who seem interested and are hoping they call us back. Other than that. . .Tracting is tracting.....

Other Than THat all is going well and im really liking the work. . THanks for your support.
