Aye it's Pday again

Hey everyone, 
 
Hope u all have had a good week. These past 4 days since Thanksgiving have been pretty tight. Friday we had 5 lessons planned, and 5 cancels...and then we were supposed to have 5 investigators come to church on Sunday and they all said they were coming that morning, and then church came and a solid zero ended up coming. So that's a rip but you can't win em all. 

So we've been doing a lot of street contacting since we've been having little success with lessons. On Saturday we were stopping by to give this one lady a Bible she requested and some really ghetto looking guy with a huge goatee and a blunt in his hand answers and is like "what do you want" so we tell him we're here to give the girl her Bible, he says he will give it to her, so we're about to leave and I give him a Christmas pass along card, and he goes "oh u wanna talk about Christmas cuz we can talk for hours about that but you ain't gonna like it" now these are moments I really can't stand cuz I'm a missionary and cant just rail them in the head while they spew all this false doctrine at us, but my companion LOVES these moments, so he's like "yeah we have time tell us" so that proceeded into an hour and a half back and forth thing with this dude on his front porch while it's freezing. He's just going off about how we are going to hell because we believe in Jesus, and he says we shouldn't have Christ's name in our church because...i really don't know because halfway through I just completely zoned him out and started thinking about food. I wanted to knock that dudes teeth out, but however that probably wouldn't be best for anyone😂I wanted to just walk away so bad but my companion kept asking him questions because he loves this kinda stuff😂

Also guys! It's almost December, and our church is doing this thing called #LightTheWord because Jesus is the light of the world, it's basically 25 Days of December, and 25 days to do service. It's super dope, and we've been handing out a lot of those cards and advertising it a lot so go check it out at mormon.org, or lds.org. I know this church is true, and that with Christ we can overcome anything, and by giving service we are giving back a tiny fraction of what Christ did for us. Miss and love y'all!
