Hey mom, my week has been ok I guess. Not too much has happened except a new investigator came to church on Sunday which is cool because we just taught her for the first time this week. She sounds very interested in the church because one of her workers that she really appreciates is a member of the church and it sounds like she wants that in her life.
Besides that, nothing too big or exciting happened. We did try to knock on this one former investigators door to explain about information she read online but she wasn't home. in fact ,she lived in Vanilla Ices old home in Paris which was cool. We knocked on a couple houses in that neighborhood and one guy told us that they had to talk to their pastor first which we hear all the time. We found out that it was a house converted to a Baptist church which was strange to say the least. That is a thing that I don't like about some of these people in Texas, is when they tell us that they have to talk to their pastor first before talking to us. Apparently these people are brainwashed to believing everything a pastor has to say, instead of praying to God for answers. Some people wake up and understand that the full truth is out there but can't find it. There was one lady that we were teaching who was progressing super well and when we called to meet them after not seeing them for 2 weeks, the husband picked up the phone and said that he didn't want us coming over. Of course this was bound to happen because his brother is a pastor and told him some false doctrine about the church which sucks. Satan is working hard on our most progressing investigators at the moment by letting things like depression, problems in the families and even bed bugs distract them from receiving the restored gospel so yes I am going to ask again to pray for Tornadoes. Maybe that will humble most people in Paris to search for happiness in their life.
I did find my Driving record the other day which was good and sent a picture of it to the driving coordinator. There is zone conference this week as well so I might bring it with me to show him in case he doesn't get the email.
I haven't bought a phone yet mainly because there is no best buy near us and I'm gonna wait to see if the area phones will go away or not. We don't do much on our p days other than shopping and doing laundry but they do have a thing in Paris called the Trail de Paris that we want to ride bikes on but you can only rent bikes through an app that cant be downloaded on the phone. Transfers happened last week and I am staying with Elder Twitchell. However there is more transfers on July 1st because the Shreveport, Louisiana stake is getting added to the mission so I guess we'll see what happens then. Other than that it sounds like everything is ok over here.
I heard that Incredibles 2 came out on Friday and I also saw a poster at Gamestop about a Lego Incredibles Game that came out recently which looks pretty cool. Anyways I hope your week will be great, and I'll talk to you again soon.
