My week has been pretty good mom. It for sure has been really sad with everything that went on, but I have had some great things to help me through it. I mean i got to call you guys and talk to you for awhile, that was amazing. It really helped too, i loved getting any chance to talk to anyone from the family. I was bummed though that i didn't get a chance to talk to sammy. But it was so nice, you seemed so happy on the phone. Haha and jess is a goof as always, and i loved talking to joel. I miss my brothers, they are so awesome. And then I had an interview with president christianson, and he called megan and let me talk to her for a minute. That was really cool. He is so amazing. I wasn't really expecting that to happen, and it was really nice to say hi to megan and tell her that i love her and try to say something that might make her feel better you know? I'm really glad too that Dennis's service went so well, I wish i could have been there. That really would have been nice. Dennis really was a wonderful man, he was always so fun and nice to me, I love him.
So besides the sad stuff from this last week, it had really been the best week elder anderson and I have had together with the work. We found another 2 investigators, and we taught a ton of lessons. I loved it. Not that numbers really matter at all, but we were leading the zone this last week in just about everything. Haha its fun to see that after such a time of not the best results. But everything is coming together and going really well. We are teaching this guy named eric, and he is a funny weird guy. He loves computer games like world of warcraft and all the other sorts i use to play at home so it has been really easy for me to connect with him, because i know what he is talking about. So that's been really good. His aunt is a less active, and that how we heard about him, because he just moved here from missouri. We met him on friday and he already came to church with us yesterday! Wow that was sweet, and the best part is that he loved it, and told us that he really wants to come again. So we are planning on setting a baptismal date with him for within the next 3 weeks. he is great. Haha our investigator kerri i was talking about last week is officially insane, we had to stop teaching her she was so crazy. Haha sooo funny because she seemed so solid, then she lost her brain somewhere. Then there is this other girl Casandra we are starting to teach now too. She is really cool. She just moved form north carolina. And she loves the book of mormon, she reads it like crazy. She has already made it to 3 nephi, and she has talked about how the book has just lifted this huge load of guilt and anger she has had on her shoulders. So she is super solid, and really cool. The only trouble is that she works on sundays, but we have faith and she and elder anderson and I are praying that she will be able to get sundays off so she can come to church and be baptized.
And Elder anderson and I had a really cool finding experience this week. We were just walking around Buff State, and it was a warm day so we didn't have to wear our stupid coats. So many more people recognize us in our white shirts and ties, i love it. So we were just saying hi to everyone we saw that day and everyone was so friendly. And we came by some little old lady and said hi to her. She asked us if we had time to talk with her, and of course we said we did. She told us how much she loves our church and the people from it, and especially the missionaries. She had met with them before but lost contact with them, because after her boyfriend died she had some really bad depression for 2 years and was at a psychiatric hospital. But she finally has just been released from there and we found her again. And it was amazing because i told her how Megan's dad just died, relating to the pain for her boyfriend, and we taught about the plan of salvation and she loved it. We met with her again, and we are seeing her again soon. She loves the plan of salvation because she wants a chance to be with her family again and to see her boyfriend again. its soo cool to know that she can. So its been good talking with her.
Then for pday today we are just going to play some more basketball. We were all going to head to the falls but is raining, and we dont want to be up there in the rain. And don't worry mom, you have been the perfect missionary mom. I can't wait to see what you guys are going to put together for me. its going to be sweet. And keep praying and you'll find the help you need to with finding a job, and if you haven't made it to the temple yet, that would still be the best place to go for some guidance. I love you momma, and transfers are happening not this tuesday but next tuesday. So i'll be letting you know whats going on next monday. Love you guys, have a good week. And take care of megan for me. :) Invite her over if she has the time.
Love,
Elder Ingram
