Week 12-The Land of Many Stop Signs

 Hello Everyone

Short Version: Another great week in Northwest Indiana. Hammond is filled with so people interested in hearing our message. We've been doing a lot more Facebook finding which us working really well. Its a bit brain numbing if I'm being honest thought. Contacting people in person is so much more enjoyable for me, but its so much more convenient for people to answer a video call than their door. We actually got to baptize someone this week that we found over Facebook. Yay!

Long Version: Well this week was my first week driving which was very....interesting. Whoever designed the cities in Indiana must have LOVED stop signs because they are at basically every intersection. Sometime for no reason at all, poof there's a stop sign. First day driving and I was not expecting to see a stop sign and going very speedy when I finally sad it. I didn't run the stop sign and I when I came to a stop I was in the middle of the intersection. 

     Me and my companions taught a lesson to a group of new members in our ward to solidfy basic church doctrines and answers questions they have. We taught about the creation this week. "And I God, said unto man, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree in the which shall be the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you shall it be for meat" (Moses 2:29) At the very end of our lesson somebody brought up this scripture, and boy did it really blow up in our face. They told everyone how if God made all the herbs, especially if they were created spiritually before they created physically like it talks about in Moses 3:5, that means its okay to use Marijuana. We tried explaining that the scripture is not justifying Marijuana but it was to no avail. 2 guys were setting up a time to hit the blunt later that day, so we're definitely gonna have to clarify that with them soon. Fun times though, everyday is a good day in the mission.

   There were two different times this week people threatened to call the cops on us. One was justified but the other one, we just knocked on their door and the guy was very upset with us. It spices things up though. If everything was fun and dandy all the time, I'd never realize how good the good times actually were. God is Good:)
