This week was alright.  I seem to get stressed towards the end of the day when I get tired and my companion wants to go way out in the boonies and find an old farmer.  It has paid off though.  We have found 5 new investigators this week.  Two are 7th Day Adventist (there are a lot of them here) and the others just go to  a non denominal church.

The part member family we tracted into came to church yesterday but only stayed for Sacrament meeting.  They did say they enjoyed it and want to come again next week.  We also had another investigator at church this week.  She made some friends after church.  She also said that she wants to come back.

We had a lesson with a guy that we have been teaching, we taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ, lesson 3 in Preach My Gospel.  He took the lesson really well.  We put him on date to be baptized but then he called us during the week to tell us that we are moving to fast for him and that he wanted more time to think about it.  I found out that his cats have a thing for me.  We teach him outside and while we  were teaching him a cat keeps trying to crawl up my leg and was getting pretty close to my crotch.  I think I have a few claw marks up and down my leg from the cat.  =(.

I have exchanges this week with a greenie.  I think I have found some service that I can go and do with him.  The family we had dinner with last night said they could use some help splitting some wood.  I've been wanting to do that for a while now.

Elder Burgess and I have decided to get up and go for a run in the mornings 3 times a week.  We only run for about a mile.  I can tell that I am out of shape.  I've been able to run farther without stopping and having to breathe real hard, so maybe I will be able to loose some weight.

I can't think of anything else at the moment.

I love you,

Elder Poling
