Another busy week in Baytown


A Little Harassment 
While we were biking around our area trying to find some people to teach, this lady chewed us out, swearing, and threating us and said that she was a member for a while and that we have the worst morals and all of this other stuff, so we just pedalled away, it was pretty funny.
 
Stopping Fighting
We stopped kids from fighting each other because one kid stepped on this one kids glasses and he was really mad. we told him what would jesus christ do. He said he would not do it and become there friend something like that, then we biked away and came back later and they are best buds.
 
A Little Religious Confusion
This other time we were going to see a potential, Heidi, she has a little daughter and she is about to have another one, real nice lady. She just pulled in and said that her beliefs does not go with ours, and that she did some research, we were like oh no she looked up some anti mormon stuff. we asked her what did you find and she said one of them it says that you guys do not support the military, then we said oh we are not Jehovah Witnesses. then she asked then who are you? we are from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or other known as "Mormons" it is a nickname we get becasue of the book of mormon. She said man you guys are confusing me because there was some other people (the Jdubs) were going over there as well. We left here with a mormon.orgcard because she gets online a lot. We are going to go over there and to check up on how she is doing.
 
A Great Flat Tire
Oh yeah another miracle happened this past week. the baytown first ward elders were on there bikes and one of them got a flat tire, so they walked there bike back to there apartments and they heard this lady call after them saying Elders. She lives in our area so they gave us the referral. She moved from Tennesse nine months ago and has been trying to find elders ever since because in Tennesse She would always feed the missionaries and they would teach her but we found out that they did not teach her much becasue of all her questions she had like so Joseph Smith wrote the book of mormon. right? a bunch of other qustions about the plan of salvation, so we are going to have to teach her from the beginning. We gave her a book of mormon. She has three kids home with her and one or two that has moved out already. We are going to teach her tomorrow and invite her to baptism.
 
Working Towards Baptism
We are still working with Jo kole, she is supposed to get baptized this sunday but something came up that we have to figure it all out but she should still be good but we will see. we are working with the Garcias they have been readign but trying to get them to come to church. They feed us a ton of food, Baytown is doing really good at feeding us because I'm actually gaining weight. Hmm thats weird.
