Well this week has been an array of weather. We started out this week very hot around 85 or 90 but with the humidity I'm sure it was much higher. I still am not used to it and don't think that I ever will be. I would much rather have the dry heat.
We had a good week. We didn't meet with as many people because we were on foot. We were out of miles in the car and the part for my bike just came today. So we were doing a lot of sweating and a couple days it rained in the afternoon so we got a little bit wet as well. But the work must go forward. We saw a couple of less actives. We are becoming close friends with them but we haven't been able to find out what is holding them back from church. Hopefully the spirit will touch them and remind them of how they felt when they went. Speaking of church. I spoke yesterday. All four of us in the Hedgesville ward spoke. It was cool to have all of us speaking. We were really trying to focus on member missionary work but most of the members seemed uninterested or asleep so not sure how well the message got through. We now have 3 investigators. 2 of them are married they are awesome they are in there 50's and have amazing faith in God and Jesus Christ they just haven't found a church they felt welcome at so hopefully we can get them to experience ours and hopefully they will feel welcome. The other one is in his late 20's he likes sports and hunting so we have a pretty good connection with him. Family is huge in his life and he grew up catholic so we will see how that goes. We are going over tomorrow to teach him and then we are going to play basketball with him with some members from the ward. It was cool to see this success. Hopefully it will continue but I know the Lord's hand is guiding us and we just have to be patient and work hard and be obedient and he will take care of the rest.
I urge you to remember that we are all children of God and that an invitation to hear that gospel that comes from a love of the people and of Jesus Christ will never come across as pushing or judgmental. So do all you can to help them feel those same blessings that we all have felt from the gospel. I know you guys will I just want to encourage you because I know how much have friends and family in the gospel and having them share their testimony can really impact someone.
Sounds like you guys are having a great summer. Continue to spend time together as a family and keep up the work on the scripture study. I hope you guys got the pictures I sent. Today I went to some outlets in Hagerstown Maryland. I went to a Nike store and you would be impressed, I walked out empty handed can't say the same for the UA store. I got a nice pair of shorts and they were only 15 bucks. Then I got to watches. My watch broke the night before i left the MTC. They were 20 each but the one was originally 65 and the other was 130 so it was a steal. So I did spend some money but they were smart purchases.
I hope all is going well back home. Hopefully I covered everything. Sound like you had an awesome time a camp Helaman. I love you all and I pray for you always. I hope all my email are coming through alright. The pictures that mom and Sarah sent didn't come trough not sure why. Sounds like they had an awesome experience at the temple. It was crazy to hear that Emily was there. Time really does fly. Doesn't seem like she is 12 yet. I hope everything continues to go well. I love you all so much. Thanks for the love and support and the prayers as well. I will continue to reply to everyone's email. I hope they all come through from my end let me know if they don't and I will condense them into one so that they will. I love you all you guys are always in my prayers. I love you all.
