Well this week was a whole lot more uneventful than last week. No car crashes, no broken heaters, no crazy experiences. I honestly don't even know what to tell you about. We knocked on a bunch of doors and nobody let us in. We went to Bible study last Wednesday and that was an interesting experience. Never been before and there wasn't much to it. Just reading from the Bible and then the pastor talking about it. After it was over, he walked up to us and was trying to bash with us and arguing about the Book of Mormon, so we just listened to what he had to say and then we had to leave to get home, so we did. And then since we went to bible study, our investigator Michael came to church on Sunday. He really wasn't there to learn or feel the Spirit, he even told us after that he was there to cause other people to doubt. We were teaching in gospel principles and it was quite an interesting experience to say the least. He's arguing with people and people are arguing back. Luckily, he left after that but there were some unhappy members there. It's okay though because at least he kept his word and came to church. Every time we meet with him it's the same way. It's rough.
Teaching Mirta is hitting a wall. We were over there yesterday and she has already been baptized before and so we were explaining about the Priesthood and the authority to baptize and she believes that her pastor has the Priesthood. And to make things worse, the pastor of the church she used to be going to is started to visit her again. Satan is working hard on her! And she said she won't come to church. I really thought that something good was going to happen with her. There's still time and lots to do with her, but it's getting tough.
We got to do more service last Saturday to help some non-members move. The husband recently had a stroke and he works with a member in our ward, so we jumped on over there to help. Really random, but one of the other guys that was there helping us works for movies to literally move trees and bushes around in the scenes, and he got to work on Captain America and the Avengers and the new Fast and Furious movie that's coming out this summer that were all apparently filmed in Cleveland. Who knew that getting a degree in horticulture would get you into movies to just chill with the avengers? Anyways, not that that really has anything to do with missionary work, just a cool bit of information.
Going to my favorite members house for dinner tonight, Don and Bessie Thompson. Coolest members ever and they came to church on Sunday because it was 60 degrees and good weather! It's also supposed to be 73 later this week, so who knows what's happening in February anymore. It sure makes biking nice now.
Still just knocking on doors and trying to find more people :)
Everything is going good here. Still alive and still biking. Sometimes really sore, but still alive.
Love you all,
Elder Woodward
