I don't know what's going on here but we are still having a lot of success. We decided this week that we would again focus on finding people to teach, and we found 2 new investigators. One of them is named Kyle and we have already taught him 2 lessons he is doing great. He is truly prepared to hear the gospel. He is the next door neighbor of some members of our ward and they invited him to dinner and we ended up teaching him the restoration after. He is really good friends with their son Shane who is preparing to go on a mission, and he has noticed the change the gospel and our church has had on Shane. It shows how powerful example can be in how others perceive us. The other investigator we had was named Greg, I told you about him like a month ago, he was the one who I noticed his name on a piece of paper so we went and visited him. We finally got back there and the first thing he asked was about the Book of Mormon, he said that he has always been interested. We taught him about it and invited him to read more. Yesterday at church we had a family from Minnesota come and they brought their 80 year old grandma with them to church who lives in Erie. She has been reading the book of Mormon and had lots of questions so we're hoping we can start teaching her soon.
We are still teaching Joanne. We don't know what direction to take with her. She is reading the Book of Mormon every day, coming to church and praying. But she is still struggling with some word of wisdom issues, and they still aren't married. We taught one of our investigators Sister Cartright yesterday it went really well. I think she is noticing her Husband as he gets more involved with church and how he is changing and it’s having a big impact on her. Again another example of the Power of example. He is getting his own endowment in a few weeks and I think we are going to go with him!
The weather last week was so nice; it was in the mid-70s. We did a lot of service too. We have been helping the lady that lives across the street with her backyard (which is huge). We spent a combined total of 10 hours working in her yard. We were raking leaves and picking up branches and twigs. It has been pretty fun. Yesterday the weather got crazy! The wind was blowing at 50 mph and there was dust all over. They said it’s going to rain this week! But it will warm back up. I can't remember if I told you but Colorado has a lot of graffiti going on, so 3:16 is everywhere it’s pretty funny I’ll send you a picture of me by one of them.
