Finding
The Saturday morning session I watched it in Vidor at Bishop Moore's house and they have a huge flat screen TV with Elder Morgan. Becasue we were on exchanges. I watched all the other ones in Orange at the stake center and there was hardly anyone there because everyone was watching it at there house. After districtt meeting we exchanged and me and Elder Morgan went to start to tract and the first one we knocked on, a lady opened the door and said that two other missionaries had come by, so we talked to her and she just wanted to bible bash. she said that the other missionaries told her of what we believed and showed it in the bible and then she always had a comeback and the missionaries did not know what to say and got pretty upset and they came back with an answer and she stumped them again and the one missionary got frustrated. We gave her a Book of Mormon to read and told her to read it and to pray about it if it is true. with these kind of people the only thing you can do is bear your testimony and leave. we went to talk to some members. The other day we ran into this really nice lady and she asked us how many wives do mormons have? I said only one and then she said how many kids do you have? and I was confused and a few seconds I knew what she meant she thought I was married and asking how many kids I have and I said I am not married yet but after our missions we go to college and get married so we got all of that cleared up. They let us in and talked a little more and they gave us some cake and we fixed there freezer and they said it was a miracle. she said that we can come back if only we don't talk about politics, sports, or religion because she said they all cause contention but not our church.
Life in the mission
My companion is doing fine he has some struggling days because he is going home really soon. He goes home the beginning of December. The work with the inactives are going really great. we met with this one guy and he races really old cars like in the 30's. he said that one of these days he was going to take us on for a ride. we usually go see investigators that we are working with and go try to see less actives and get to know them and the stake wants all the members be taught the missionary lessons once a year so thats what we are doing.
Todd and Lois
They are doing really good. they talked with the bishop and he said that Todd has to move out of the house in order for Lois to get baptized but he said it is up to us and the mission president and we called him and he said that if they are living in seperate rooms in the house because Todd had no where to go and if they understand the law of chasity and keep the word of wisdom. they are keeping all there commitments, we have a member that is a nurse surgeon and he said that he taught people on his mission to stop smoking and when he got back he got people to stop smoking so he said that he would help them to stop smoking and chewing tobacco and then we are going to set a baptismal date with Lois. They wathced general conference and they loved it and was taking notes.
