A Crazy Sunday‏

So yesterday was quite the Sunday. Having three wards back to back to back is insane. The first one started at 8:00 in the morning and we didn't get home until about 3:30 in the afternoon. Plus we didn't really have a PEC's to go to so we'll probably end up getting to church around 7:00 or earlier. I love church but I like to sleep too. The maddness didn't end there either.

We've been teaching a woman named Valie this last week. She committed to baptism and she came to church on yesterday. She's older and in a wheelchair but luckily one of the members has a van that accomodates her wheelchair. The down side was she didn't tell any of her children where she was going so when they came over to visit her and she was gone, they called the cops to help look for her. Everything worked out and the children were more concerned than anything but it was still kind of crazy.

We've been trying to decide how accountable she really is. She seems to understand what we teach her and she comprehends the scriptures but how much she retains and whether or not she really understands is a different question.

We've also been teaching a man named Manny. He was in a car accident and is also in a wheelchair. He also suffered some brain damage. Manny is amazing and has also accepted a date to be baptized. We're kind of in the same boat with him as we are with Valie, not sure how much he is comprehending but we're still pressing forward with him. When we stopped by yesterday to see him we were talking to him about reading the scriptures, he turned to his son JR and asked him, "Hey JR, do you know where you came from?" He answered no and Manny began to teach him about how he lived with Heavenly Father. It was so awesome. Then after that his ex-wife (don't ask) came out and started cussing us out and told us to vacate the premises in more or less words.

To end the night we went to contact a potential investigator to find out she doesn't live there anymore. Jesse, a man that was currently living there, had gotten one of the pass-a-long cards we left and wanted a Book of Mormon. We were way excited and when he came out he preached to us, in a non-confrontational way, for about 40 min and we had to practically walk away from him to leave. We got home just in time to make the second curfew (9:30).

...I love the sabbath!

Hope you all are doing well.
