Last Week of the Transfer

Hey Ya'll

The title says it all, this is the last week of the transfer, and seeing that tomorrow is my 6 month mark I'm probably heading out. But, we'll get the call this Saturday and find out, so no promises yet! 
We had a lot of pretty cool things happen this week. Yesterday we had some investigators come to church! A family we've been teaching, Lesley, her husband Ricky, and their two grandbabies Makenzie and Payton. From what they said they really enjoyed it! We'll be visiting them this week, so we'll talk more about it then. On Wednesday we visited a First Baptist church. A guy named Tim has been visiting with us and invited us to go. It was just a youth activity, they had some hamburgers and hot dogs and they had a christian rock singer performing there. It was cool, this church is still the only true church on earth. I think he tried to convince us otherwise as we were leaving, he told me "You know, thanks so much for coming and just remember...Mormons make great Baptists." Haha, ain't gonna happ'n cap'n. 
We've been teaching a man named Thomas, he's agnostic, but really interested in our church. He's visited a lot of the churches around here, but because he knows they're all teaching false doctrine he has decided not to really believe in anything. One visit he had his kids over, so we got to talk to his 13 year old son and Sister Castagno and Thomas got into a debate of who could run faster. So, we settled it and decided to have a race. We walked to the end of the block and saw some street kids and invited them to join our race. Their names are Andrew and Logan. After we had the race, that Sister Castagno won, we had a lesson about prophets, and Andrew and Logan joined us! We asked each of them what they look for in a prophet. Thomas said that if he believed in prophets he'd want someone who doesn't get payed to preach the good word. We told them all that we in fact have a modern day prophet today and that we don't believe in payed ministry. When we visited Thomas again he told us that he'd looked up our prophet and asked some questions more about our church! Life sure isn't easy, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, but serving a mission down here in the south! We continue to keep moving the herd roughly west, and I will strive to be the steadfast disciple Heavenly Father wants me to be. All is well in Zion! 
Love ya'll!
