IT'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah so there is a ginourmous blizzard and all of the cars are grounded and they shut down school so winter is definitely back and it is a mean one. It's all good though because this morning for our workout me and the other 3 elders I stayed with went out side and had a snowball fight and snow wrestling match. When life gives you lemons right? Things took a pretty hard turn this last week with some of our investigators but there was still some silver lining too.
Elder Hardy and I met with P's husband and we asked him to tell about what life was like when he was in the war back in Laos to help open him up and he told us one of the saddest stories that I have ever heard. His own mother literally died on his back while he was carrying her across the border of Laos to Thailand. But in the end when we asked him about baptism for his wife and kids he said that his kids can get baptized but then he said, "my wife won't get baptized until the day I die." So that was really sad but his kids at least will be baptized this December. P was so cool though. After he left the room she just smiled and said," Don't worry, that's only the first time, we'll try again in a couple weeks." Her husband said that she can't come to church anymore either but this Sunday she showed up anyways. She really does have such great faith.
That was to bad but the good news is that the family that we have been teaching committed to Dec. 13th for baptism and we have another lesson set up with them tonight. The biggest miracle was that the father is all for it. In Hmong culture the father is basically like a god to them and whatever he says goes. The good news is that he is the most interested out of the whole family and keeps every commitment that we give him which is really cool.
But yeah all is well and keep up the sweet goodness everybody.
