Mission Week 3 - first week in Willsonville, OR

Hey everyone.

Hope you all had a great week. The mission field is pretty awesome. The work is hard up here in Portland but I think it makes us work harder.  Last week we tracted 10 hours and only 6 people actually answered their doors.  Almost half of the doors say NO soliciting and under it they write that includes religion. The members are really good at feeding us every night. They have us scheduled out for the next 2 months.  We are hoping they will find us some new referrals. Almost half the people we knock don’t believe in a god and the other half seem to think they have it figured out.

We do have some good progressing investigators and two have committed to baptism. One of them is named Suzie and she seems hopeful. She came to church and loves the gospel. She even quit taking drugs cold turkey this week. The other investigator is probably a month or more out but I think he will get there.  It’s hard to see how much of a grasp Satan has on this world. It’s extremely sad and heart breaking. People wonder why the world is so wicked, and why god hasn’t stopped it. I want to tell them that it is because people like them use their agency to make it that way…but I don’t. J

 Anyway my comp Elder Bishop is from Chicago. He has graduated from college. It’s crazy that he is almost ten years older than me. I am glad though because he is training me good and putting us in situations to succeed. The zone is pretty amazing.  Except today one Elder totally kicked a Sister in the face today when we were playing soccer that wasn’t good.  Some funny news, I guess this last week some Elders went on a hot air balloon ride for Pday and got in some pretty big trouble with the mission president. Our mission president is a stud though I love him.
 I love all you at home.
