Week 30 - When we get iPads it is going to CHANGE mission work.

Whaaaaaat's going on ya'll!
 
We have some sweet rumors about the...ipads and FAcebook and all that...one of our Zone Leader's this morning at a District Leader deal told us that one of his buddies in another mission already has an ipad...and he said that there's a good chance we can even use our FAMILY'S for lessons as "member present" lessons. HOLY CRAP. Who knows, but man, when we get ipads, it is going to CHANGE mission work. They don't want us tracting as much, but people are always on social media...twitter, Insta G, FB, all that junk, so we will be too :D Crazy.
 
Last week at our District meeting, one of our AP's Elder Hansen showed up. His dad works with my dad sometimes....small world. Our other AP is from Spanish Fork. GO UTARD.
We did another appointment with the Lord last week and felt prompted to go to a certain street. There we tracted like 2 houses. The first house were nice...but said no, then we felt to go to the house on the end... we found James, who is a die-hard UoA fan (but his bro is a huge ASU fan!) so we talked to him and he accepted talking to us. Guidance is a blessing.
One of our progressing investigators, a big black dude who's AWESOME came to church last week and in Elder quorum said, "Now I'm a latter-day Saint." BOSS! He also fed us lunch last week. He's so awesome and is ready to get dunked.
We contacted this guy by playing ball with him. He won hehe
One night after appointments fell through, we decided to talk to everyone. We talked to a lady who struggled and basically was mad at God...we introduced a brief 'Atonement' message and she seemed to feel better. She then went on about how her daughter sees "Shadow people" and will always say there's someone looking at her or something like that. SKETCH.  Didn't get a good feeling.
The YW 'heart attacked' our door. It was awesome.
More comp. quotes:
What if in the pre-mortal world, you were friends with Justin Bieber?"
hahah
There's a police helicopter always flying around our apartments.
 
The Elder sitting next to me had his bike stolen this morning.
 
Yesterday we went to the temple with our whole zone. It was awesome and we took the transfer van up there. YEAH!
So this past week was a great week. It was a humbling experience as well. I've been praying to find people to teach. We spent a good solid 3 days of a ton of finding type deals and we found 0 new investigators for our area...but we did find 5 or 6 referrals for other missionaries. It was a neat experience. One day we did an 'appointment with the Lord' so we went to the spot we felt we should...but there was NO one there...after sitting on our bikes for a good solid 10 mins..a member came up to us randomly and gave us two referrals......awesome. Then we biked crossed the parking lot where a Jamaican dude talked to us and wanted to know more, then we felt we should go inside the store, so we did and came across two girls (that were strippers) that basically said they just got out of rehab and wanted to bring God into their life. Just like that we contacted 4 people or so, it was awesome. The church is true!
Well I'm not sure how much time I have left, but it can't be much! I love you all and the church is true. Keep reaching out to others and serve people lots! If not....meh.

D&C 50:22->Mosiah 18:22. When we receive some sort of spiritual inspiration, it's when our spirit becomes edified with the Holy Spirit.
 
Stay real.  :D
