The Hobbit hole

Warsaw is a pretty awesome place. It's a country area with a few small towns. Elder Steed and I got right to work when I got here. Our area book was empty when I got her except on new investigator. 

The apartment here has been nicknamed the hobbit hole by the mission. We are moving out of it this transfer though. Elder Steed and I are a pretty calm companionship. Most dogs seem to stay away from us because we just walk past them silently and it seems to scare them a little bit. 

We found 5 new investigators this week. They are all super prepared and it's cool to see.

Denise and Mike are a older couple. We taught Denise on her doorstep for about 40 mins one night. Even though it was about 20 degrees she stood there and spoke with us. She had never seen a book of Mormon or heard of our message. She is already ready the book. Her and her husband are both really sick now though. Splendid lady.

Jerry is an old fellow who let us in and spoke to us for a bit. He said he would have never done it when he was younger but now he is older and wants to look deeper into religion. His wife is against organized religion so he said that might be a problem.

Jim was a awesome find. We tracked into him and he seemed interested in talking about politics and religion but not to learn. He wasn't interested in hearing our message so we left. After we finished the road when we were walking back he waved us over and told us to come in. He is a old man (we seem to be out here for old people) who has a incredible testimony of God's hand in his life. He wants nothing more then to be with his God and His deceased wife but he doesn't believe that we have our identities after this life. This is something that most if not all religions teach. He broke down a little during the lesson about it. His son is a minister and lives next to him. We spoke with him too while we were knocking and he seems nice. Jim is a super awesome family guy.

Gary and Dave are the two others and also Les but I might talk about them later if it goes anywhere. 



To be a servant of the Lord is to be as meek as a lamb and bold as a lion.

Oh ya Becky Wilcox down in Cattaraugus was baptized a few weeks ago. Her divorce finally went through.
