Our investigators are doing good. We met with our investigator that really wants to get baptized but is on parole. He is probably our most solid investigator right now. He also asked if we could watch 17 Miracles, we told him that we would have to get permission from Pres. Ware. We did get permission to watch 17 Miracles so next time we meet with him we will watch it.
We also did some service this week with the guy who knows Elder Bednar and Pres. Uchtdorf. He mentioned that Elder Bednar would keep a football in his office so that he could go and throw it with random students during his lunch break.
Saturday my zone had breakfast at a member of the Stake presidency's house, so that was pretty cool. When we left there we went and saw one of our investigators. When we got there all he wanted to do was argue with us so we ended up dropping him. We then went to a less active members house to do service. While we were there we cleaned out a trailer for them to get ready to sale. He told us that he believes that 90% of any ones mission could be done by any missionary but 10% of it can only be done by you. He also told me that he is part of my 10% and that it would take someone like me to get him and his girlfriend to church and to reactivate him. He told me that I'm probably more effective as a missionary doing service than I am knocking on doors as far as making an impact on people. Every time we have left he told I'm making an impact on his whole family. So that made me feel good. He also said that there is a reason why he didn't have the other missionaries that come through the ward come over as much and spend time with him. He said to him there were just guys in white shirts and ties. I'll have to figure out how to manage my time to be effective in finding people and in helping him and his girlfriend.
That was a cool ending to my week.
I love you.
Love,
Scott
