Happy Week!

Waiting for the bus!

Happy Week!!
Tuesday: I normally don't write anything about this day,
because generally nothing happens besides P-day stuff, however, this time something fun happened. After P-day, we wereboth contemplating on how we could get our hands on cigarettes, because we needed to get some to soak in milk and let dry for our investigator to smoke, that way he never wants to smoke again. When no later than 2 minutes, we walk into
a guy who is smoking!! I tell him what's up, "Hey!! We werejust talking about how we could get some cigarettes, and wecame across you! Can you give us a pack?" He looked kinda
shocked and said, "Wait, aren't you Mormons?" Haha, so we 

explained ourselves, had a good contact, then at the end, Ibartered with him for some cigs. He started off saying he 

wanted $5 for 4. Ended up buying 5 for $3.25.
Cigarettes are expensive!!!

Wednesday: We had DM (District Meeting) and we went 

tracting a lot. However, the grand finale of the day was 

Eric smoking those Milk/Mustard soaked cigs (He told us he wanted more than just milk.) He started to smoke one, whichhe felt super sick with that one, but being so dedicated hesmoked 3 at the same time. He threw up a couple of times. 

It was painful just to watch him.

Thursday: Eric didn't smoke all today!! It worked! He used to smoke 20 a day. We had a lesson with our other 

investigator Zac, who is trying to fight homosexuality. He has been lately talking how " Even if God came down and told him that homosexuality is wrong, he still wouldn't
believe it." We got him at the end of the lesson to say 

that he would be willing to change if he got an answer. It was a super spiritual lesson. However, he hasn't been 

keeping commitments. When an investigator doesn't keep 

commitments, it doesn't matter how great the lessons are, 

because they forget that moment, and go back to their old
ways. So we were worried he might not keep them again. So 

we text him everyday for a reminder.

Friday: Went on exchanges with our District Leader, Elder 

Norris, I've known Elder Norris since I was 'born' in the 

mission! SO it was super exciting and fun to be with him. 

He is a surfer dude from San Diego, California. Sadly, we 

didn't have a single lesson on this day, All we did was 

knock a ton of doors.

Saturday: We had 4 lessons scheduled, but only 1 happened, we were trying hard to fight the discouragement that was
coming along with that. And we are getting pretty sick of 

tracting. Just have to keep enduring till school starts up!

Sunday: I didn't do so well at planning the meetings that 

we had scheduled... So we were building hopping all
throughout church. And we were excited to this week becauseit is fast & testimony meetings, so it is a super good way to get our faces out there, and people know us. The first 

meeting we went to, a bishopric was getting released,
so no testimony meeting, then the 2nd was good, but then 

the 3rd was jam full of people baring their testimonies. Ohwell, that's a good problem.

Monday:
Elder Nielsen was told to go to MLC from 1-4pm, He didn't 

know why, and when he returned he didn't know either. Haha,however, I feel like that is a tale-tell sign that he is 

going to be in Leadership this next transfer. While he was
about doing that I was with a Member of the ward for a 

lesson in which I invited the investigator to be baptized 

the 5th of September, he said he would work towards it, but
he is moving to Roosevelt, UT. on Saturday... :( Happy for
him, sad for us! Later we met a girl from Brooklyn that 

doesn't know much about the church. She was a little stand-offish because she is black, and she thought because of 

that she is cursed. Once we hopped that barrier it went
well, and we set up a return appointment.

Love Elder Wrathall
