If you can figure out what it&#8217;s making fun of&#8230;. Good for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10: Murica day was Wack. We can&#8217;t shoot off fireworks, so that was weird, and Elder Willits said that holidays are the best days to go find people. Well, they kinda are. We met a lot of people but no one wanted to talk. I don&#8217;t really blame them tho. After we were kinda done for the day, we had a zone activity where we all hung out at a members house and just played some sports and had a fire, with a spiritual message about sacrifice. That kinda made up for no explosions. Kinda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9: I met my first weird Oregonian! We were tracting around our house, and this lady told us that we shouldn&#8217;t be handing out the book of Mormon, and the church wasn&#8217;t true. We were thinking &#8220;oh, is it because Joeseph Smith wrote the BoM, or are we brainwashed into following the devil, or something like that?&#8221; But she said that we shouldn&#8217;t be handing out the book of Mormon because it&#8217;s bad for the environment. Wat. Apparently the church isn&#8217;t true because you can&#8217;t totally recycle the BoM. That was weird. Even Elder Willits said that was a new one, and he&#8217;s been working with these people for 2 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8: After we found out that we didn&#8217;t have a dinner for Thursday, we decided to make one of the frozen pizzas that the relief society President gave us. We looked around for a baking sheet and found that we didn&#8217;t have one! (It was okay, the pizza turned out fine) But while we were at a members house for dinner, they asked if there&#8217;s anything we need. And we said &#8220;a baking sheet would be good, but if you don&#8217;t that&#8217;s fine&#8221; and the member had just bought a new set of baking sheets! So she gave us one of her old ones! #theLordprovides<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7: We were going out to talk to someone who hadn&#8217;t been contacted in a while, but as we were heading over to her trailer, we met a family sitting on their porch who had some questions about the weird Mormons walking around. She was nice, and chatted for an hour about religion. We gave her a book of Mormon and she said that she&#8217;d read it, and have lots of questions for us! Looking forward to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6: I am learning the book of Mormon really well! When we were talking with someone, I knew the right scripture that they needed! Who knew that reading every morning and listening to the spirit would actually work?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5: it is going to be way too hot later. Upwards of 105\u00b0 I am going to make sure that all we do is visit members and go straight from car to house. Yaaaay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4: I got the cool protein breakfast shakes, and am feeling great! You feel kinda hungry for the first couple days, but now I&#8217;m used to it! Gonna be HAWT pretty soon. That&#8217;s how ill bring people to the gospel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3: We met our first tweaker today, he was talking about how the mayor and the sheriff were going to burn everything he&#8217;s worked for down, and pointed at a port-a-potty. Then he tried to hand us a broken phone, and some other stuff. We told him where he could go to call a good sheriff. It was weird.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2: Sunday is great. I love being able to take the morning to read and focus more on the Lord. Or accidentally fall asleep. But I didn&#8217;t fall asleep in sacrament. Elder Willits did tho. Even though he says he didn&#8217;t. Church is so nice, because I don&#8217;t have to focus on teaching. Carlos and crystal came, along with another guy that we had taught the previous night!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1: Carlos and Crystal have committed to baptism and marriage! Wooo! They were do excited about it,\u00a0 and are going to start keeping up on commitments. Nice. I&#8217;m pumped! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello! It is a Monday!
