my brain is a little fried..... we stayed up till three last night because it was transfer calls, and played board games all night. so im pretty tierd. lets see this week what happened? well this morning we went over to one of our ward mission leaders houses that have a crap load of baby goats and chased and caught them. its was actually alot of fun watching people that have never been near a goat try and grab one. one really cool thing that happened is one of the people we were teaching leeanna, her mom came into town and she wanted to know what the mormons are. jokingly before the lesson i asked if she wanted to feel my horns. she had brought this packet to the lesson with her, at the top it said "mormonism vs christianity." after we explained the restoration to her using the "cup lesson" she understood where our church came from and why were the only one true church on the earth. she had to catch her flight home but said that she would contact the missionaries in colorado. leeanna wants her mom to be at her baptism so we really dont know when shes going to be baptised. she's doing good though. right now we still have seven with a baptisimal date, logan, leanna, and the garcia family. on sunday we finally got the garcia family to church. were meeting with them tonight at seven. were teaching another family, wess+debbi. Debbi is a preacher in ogden and likes to bash with us about our church but knows that joseph smith is a prophet........ so its a little wierd. wess doesn't really have any concerns, he just sorta goes with the flow. one of the biggest things thats standing in the way of Debbi getting baptised is that women cant get the priesthood. next lesson which is tomorrow at eight im going to explain to her about that. ive been thinking about it and i think im going to explain it how the priesthood makes men equal with women because women, god has trusted with the birthing of children. the priesthood helps the man becoming closer to the children because it help there kids over come spirtual death better. the other thing that happened this week is we taught this guy named Pat. Pat has been being taught by the missionaries for almost 15 years. he had a life changing expierence when his wifes four wheeler flipped and landed on top of her. the wifes dad gave her a blessing and then they went to the hospital. on the way there Pat's wife leaned over and told him that "he needed to get that" meaning the priesthood. now he's taking the lessons alot more sierously. we explained to him he can provide all he wants for his family but one thing he cant is a priesthood blessing because he cant. so he finally starting to progress. love you all

p.s

i didn't get transfered im staying in hooper another transfer
