October 31, 2011 ( Halloween )

Well this week was definitely a crazy and busy week with a TON of stuff happening!!!!!!!!!!!! On tuesday we went on exchanges and Elder Calderwood came up to my area which was great!!!!!! We just went around princeton and went tracting and met a bunch of people!!!!!!!! We knocked on one houses door and as soon as i stopped knocking, this guy on the other side of the door started banging as hard as he could and started yelling not so Christlike phrases at us!!!!!!!! We just started laughing and put a card in the door and then we walked away and he came running outside because he thought we were going to try and mess with him but we didnt!!!!!!! Then that night we got to go and see Kailyn and she is still doing great and even better because she know has the gift of the Holy Ghost with her!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on wednesday we went and walked around East McKinney a little bit to go and contact some people in the streets!!!!!!!! We walked past a house and we heard barking and thats not always a good sign and we saw this HUGE snarling evil white dog jump over the gate and it came running after us and i started screaming at the top of my lungs and Elder Calderwood started sprinting so i started sprinting!!!!!!!! We lost the dog but the only bad part was that our car was parked right by the house with that dog and we had to get back down to Allen so we could exchange back!!!!!!! So we snuck down that street again and we were about 30 feet away from the car and we heard the barking and the dog came running back out so I jumped into the drivers seat and Elder Calderwood jumped into the back seat and the dog started ramming into the car so we drove away really fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am never going down that street again!!!!!!!!!!! Then on Thursday I got to go down to Allen again and do some work with Elder Mchardy and Elder Calderwood in their area!!!!!!!! It was great and we got to meet a ton of people and pass out a bunch of cards and teach lessons!!!!!!!!! Heres another story: We were riding our bikes past the highschool and it was around 3:30 and i love contacting high school age kids cause thats when I joined the church and some of them really want to learn more and a lot of them have mormon friends cause there are a ton of members in Allen!!!!!!! So we were riding our bikes past the high school and a car drove passed us and one of the kids yelled out the window "I love Satan" so as soon as he yelled that I got elder mchardy and elder calderwood to follow me and i followed that car and it stopped and i swerved up to the window and said "OH HEY!!!!! It sounds like you guys yelled out the window that you wanted to hear a message about Jesus Christ" and all the kids in the car looked so stunned and they did not know what to say because they didnt expect me to come up to them!!!!!! So we gave them a card and left, it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on thursday we had interviews with president Durrant and that was great!!!!!!! I love him so much and I am so glad that he is my mission president, he is such a nice guy!!!!!!!! Then On saturday we got to meet with some more investigators and William is getting baptized next saturday!!!!!!! I am so stoked for him and he is doing so great!!!!!!! And on saturday night we got to go to the Melissa Ward Chili cook off and trunk or treat which was awesome and we had some investigators there!!!!!!!!!! The gospel is so great!!!!!!! I love sharing it and I love seeing the chages in peoples eyes when I tell them about the church because I can totally tell when someone is feeling the spirit!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday we had a total of nine investigators at church, numbers dont matter but its still so great that our investgators are making the right choices and have the desire to be baptized!!!!!!!!!!! This week was awesome and I hope all of you are doing great!!!!!!!!!!! Let Jesus Christ be your light for this halloween night and remember to always be an example!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
