Serving Others

"Hey you bunch of fart buckets, how are ya?" (oh...makes me miss my silly boy)

The weeks are starting to blurr to Jaydan. They go by quick with lots happening. This week they had a meeting with their recent convert, Clair. She is seriously one of the best converts that you could have. Jaydan was having a hard time talking to her and kept wondering what he was doing wrong not to be blessed with the ability to communicate. (remember his deal with the Lord) It really made him stop and reflect but isn't quite sure. It still is just frustrating when he doesn't get it.

They stopped by Daniels house. Jaydan really likes Daniel and thinks he is awesome. Daniel moved back home with his mom though in Montevideo and is in the other mission now. Jaydan feels good about giving the other missionaries a great guy to teach. He is sure that Daniel will be baptized. Jaydan and his comp gave Daniel a Book of Mormon to read on the was ride home. (to Montevideo). They exchanged addresses so they could keep in touch. They really like each other. (It is Daniel in the picture)

Saturday the missionaries played football and Jaydan was quite proud of the way he played. He was doing stuff that even surprised himself. He had a great time and left feeling pretty good about himself.

Sunday was quite a day...but good. The missionaries tried picking people up for church but didn't have much success. Elida, a super good investigator does everything but attend church. She quit all her bad habits and does everything the missionaries ask except attend church. She keeps promising that she will come but she never shows up and it bugs Jaydan that she out right lies to them. They want to find out what the real reason is and work with her.

They found a lady out pulling her weeds. The missionaries stopped to see if they could help her but the lady told them No. They started talking about Eternal Families and the lady started tearing up but also saying that was impossible. She told them all about the people in her life that had passed away. Then Jaydan's comp bore his testimony as families being together forever. She must have listened because Jaydan said they got her respect. She finally agreed to let the missionaries help her weed and they are even going to help her paint her house. Jaydan loves serving other people and feels like that's what a mission is all about.
