Investigators

Elder Whitaker is counting down the days (speaking of which, did you ever get a response from his mom to my message?) until he goes home. Two of the elders in my zone, including my zone leader will be going home this transfer with him so our whole zone is getting shaken up. Everyone says i´m going to train but we´ll see what happens. I´d be content to train, since it can´t be much more work than being District Leader is which isn´t as hard as I thought it would be.

Did you ever look through some pictures of the brotherhood to send to me? I got that picture of kyle and darth vader which was awesome. the sooner the better though, with the others. because i´ll probably only have one more week with elder oakeson and i need to use his card reader to put pictures on my memory card.
an interesting story for the week. So there is a family in the branch and one of their sons got baptized right before i got moved over here. The mom used to be lds but she changed to Evangelica a ways back, yeah lame. But we were teaching her and her "husband" and they were both getting excited about the church and they actually went to church once and they loved it. Then their pastor got to them and convinced them to drop us which was kind of disappointing. The pastor obviously lied to them about us because she asked us one day, "so who do you guys believe Christ is?" The pastor probably told them that we don´t believe in christ and all the old lies like that. But, during divisions this week, elder oakeson and a member went by them to see Brian, the son who got baptized. When he wasn´t there, they planned on sharing a quick scripture and then leaving, but the mom started to tell them about a dream she had...so apparently in this dream, she was at the judgement or the last days or whatever, but either way, christ had come again and everything was set. Then two guys came up to her, she never said if they were missionaries or what they looked like but they told her that the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints in the only true church on the earth and that she was messing up big time. and that was the dream. pretty straight forward if you ask me. It obviously got on her mind though because she can´t stop thinking about it and now we have another "in" to start teaching them again. I´ll keep you posted on what happens.
about your question on whether i´ll have time here, if i do end up training here, i´ll be here for at least the next three months and there is no way i´m leaving this transfer since elder oakeson has been here for three already so yeah i´ll have plenty of time here.
did adam get the picture i sent him? i thought he would like it. anyway, i think that´s everything for now. if i missed any questions, well...let me know next week haha. Love you!
