Week 71: Tired

Wow!  I just got back from a 2-hour workout at a member's home. His name is Jake and he has been working the missionaries to the bone for the last couple of years! Here is a picture of the crew post workout:

Elder Simonson and I have been working our tails off! We actually had a super awesome experience last night.  We went and contacted a couple of potential investigators in the Areabook and we showed up to a house full of 8 people! They invited us in to eat tacos with them and of course we couldn't refuse that since it was around 7:30 at night and we hadn't eaten since 12:00 and it was like a bowl of cereal or something. Anyways, we chatted for a while and it turns out the house owner and his mom who was there are from Canada! They are Maple Leaf fans and it took every bit of willpower in my body to not hate on the Leafs. We ended up sharing the Restoration with them and had a very long Q&A block at the end of it where all of them were asking very sincere questions. We placed 3 copies of the Book of Mormon with 3 of the people there and a few others said they would just share with someone who got one.

All in all, this Johnson City place is pretty cool! 2 of my previous companions have served here, Elder Goldsberry and Elder Farnsworth, although they are both home now :'(

I'm actually feeling the effects of the workout just typing up this email. My arms are so sore I don't know if I'll be able to hold a basketball, but that's what we are about to go play so I gotta sign off now!

Love and Miss all of you!
