One Day More . . . Bring Him Home!!!!!

Hey Everybody,

Guess this is it, the end of the road. I can't believe that this is the end if my two years, but it was a really amazing experience for me. I'm so grateful for this experience I had and the way my mission has shaped me.

Anyway we had a pretty awesome week. We got two really awesome, solid, member referrals and one of them is on date for baptism! So we had a dinner with a member and they invited their neighbor, whom we have taught before. After dinner we had a really awesome lesson and set up a church tour, where on the church tour we put him on date. The other referral is from the local LDS chaplain, who is in our ward. While he can't proselyte, he can answer questions which led to him inviting this guy to church, we have a return appointment with him tomorrow. So there is a lot of things going on here in Manhattan. 

My ankle is still pretty banged up, the doctor said I may have fractured my heel. So that's exciting. 

I really have loved my time in Kansas and will miss it a lot.

See y'all soon.

Hey everyone!

So this was a great week, well for the most part, I kinda got injured playing basketball I'll attach pictures.

Not a lot to talk about this week. We did a lot of tracting, we met a guy named John. John said he knew Mormons from college, he said that Mormons were the guys who would go on two year missions then school you in basketball. John was nice, he had a good restoration lesson with him. But when invited to continue learning, he declined and said he wasn't looking to change religions.

It got pretty cold this week, but it'll be warning up a little this week, before it drops back down. Kansas is strange like that.

Sorry I don't have much to say, but I did have my departing interview with my mission president on Wednesday. It took almost the entire day, but it was good and I received a lot of advice. 

My last full week as a missionary, so it'll be a good one. Love you all!!

Hey everyone!

It was a good week! 

Early on in the week we got a referral for a guy who was a former youth pastor. So we gave him a call and set up a time to see him. So we go to the institute with the ward mission leader, didn't think he'd show up,  but he actually did. So we spent the first little bit figuring out what he knew, everything he knew was from the Book of Mormon Musical. So not a lot. Then we go in and teach the restoration, he had lots of questions throughout. Good thing we had our ward mission leader to help us with the harder questions. Afterwards he said, "well you guys didn't convince me" we explained that we aren't trying to convince, he just had to read from the Book and pray about it. 

We did some tracting in a nicer part of town and it was really good! We didn't get a lot of investigators from it, but the people we did meet have really awesome potential! 

We met this lady, Lori, who just left the Catholic religion. She said she was on the subway in Chicago and met a lady who read to her from the Book of Alma, and she told us she recently watched Meet the Mormons! We're really working at getting back into contact with her, cause she would be a definite kingdom builder! 

There was a lady we met and said, "I didn't think millennials still believed in God" she said she went to Catholic school for 13 years and said that religion closes your mind. Elder Bassett asked her if she wanted to expand her mind/knowledge and learn more, she said no. We had a good laugh about it.

We taught a guy from China, he doesn't really believe in God. We taught the plan of salvation and he said he really liked it. He said he liked it more than what other religions taught. When asked if we could meet again he said he was okay with what we taught him then, and if he wanted to know more he would call us. 

We have interviews this week, it'll be my departing interview. So that'll be weird. 

All is well, love you all!
