Oi!

Hello so this week has been a pretty good one, busy and lots of things happen!

So I got to have a funny Saturday morning. A member of our ward, well we were at his house and he asked randomly “hey elder do you know anything about cars? I said a little why? He said my car won't start.” It was just really funny the way he said it, so I looked at the car, and it looked like the starter was dead, so we tested it and it was. So I said. "hey your starter is dead". (random note they call it the small motor starter lol) then he asks do you know how to replace it? I said well I’ve done it before but not on your car, I can help you if you would like. Well long story short I got to replace a Starter Saturday morning and a plastic radiator house that he broke “trying to help” it was actually a lot of fun. (on a side note a “Alan Linford tool box” is better equipped then what I got to work with”)

It also rained a lot which was well... “wet” We found this really great family, all but their 12 year old son are baptized, but they are inactive, sealed in the temple, he was in the branch presidency 4 years ago, and she was Relief society pres. Its so crazy to think about it they all have testimony’s just lack the want or motivation to return to church (aka get up Sunday morning) and so Saturday when we talked to them I told them if they didn’t answer us when we came Sunday morning I was coming into the house, they said that was okay. So Sunday morning when they did not wake up to us knocking at their gate I jumped the gate and knocked on everyone’s window and woke them up, and they all went to church, and they weren’t even mad but thought I was joking however. It was really funny my companion was mad at me... because well he is as stubborn as me and he just lets stuff like that go, but they promised they would be up and if they weren’t I could do anything to wake them up. So it was really fun to wake them up and bring them to church just a few more weeks.
I really love the area I’m in but there is just a couple of things I don’t like about it.
1. Just about every house has an inactive member. Our ward list is 20 pages long with like 140 active people……

That’s about it well I have to go now were going to go to this weird thing in down town (my companion wants to go so whatever!)
