February 1

This week has been going aight. Most of our scheduled appointments didn't go through so we had to do a lot of trackting this week, I don't really mind trakting that much and it is kind of fun to meet some of the people here and there responses to missionaries. We finally ran into a kid named Israel who we have been trying to find for the last 3 weeks that I have been here, we had a pretty short lesson about the POS and he told us that he would put some "sick rims" on our new corolla. We had the commandments lesson with Tanya yesterday and she said that she is already following all of them so she is ready to be baptized this coming saturday. One cool thing is that her son who was just baptized a month ago just got the aaronic priesthood and is going to be able to baptize her. We had a world wide mission broadcast a little while ago, they had some of the general authorities like David A. Bednar talk to the missionaries in the ogden mission, it was kind of funny watching this one kid who answered a lot of the questions get completely destroyed by David A Bednar. We weren't able to talk to one of our other on dates because she wants to have her entire family to be talking to us too, (She has 5 kids) and it is really hard because they all do wrestling for the highschool here and they make them practice everyday including sunday. She said that she read part of the book of mormon and prayed about it and said that she got an answer that she knew that it was true, so she is really solid. Yesterday after church they had all of the youth over the age of 12 go to our ward mission leaders house and had us teach them a lesson about missionary work and then bear our testimonies at the end. After this we had a pretty good lesson with a kid that we met on the street and we were able to go to his house and it turns out that we have already talked to his older brother before and we were able to teach both of them. Their mom also sat in on the lesson and she seemed like she was really interested and she said that she would ask her brother a bunch of questions about it (He is a baptist minister) so hopefully she comes back with a lot of questions that we can answer about our church. The only really exciting thing that happened this week is when we went to the car wash we found a painting of a tiger and now it is hanging above my bed in our apartment.
