Week 54

So, this week we did a lot of Less Active work, which is great because we have a ton of them in this ward.

We have had 2 inactive's coming to church the past couple weeks, well we actually found out that they are both excommunicated and are looking to rejoin!  So BOOM, 2 progressing right der.

The other day we were at wallyworld picking up something for Elder Lofthouse since it was his birthday, and we find a member who recentlyish moved into the ward but doesn't want to come because she thinks she'll be judged by the people.  (She has tons of tattoos and piercings) Well her name is Nancy.

We have another person in the ward named Wade who has aspergers disease. Well his conversion story involves an investigator from 5 years ago. Which goes as follows. 

The missionaries left a sticky note for an investigator named nancy on her door which was supposed to be a couple houses down from this guys house, but somehow it stuck to a missionary and fell off on his porch, well long story short that led to his baptism...

So we are on exchanges with him and we tell him about how we find a lady at walmart who's a less active named Nancy, and he freaks out and says that "ITS THE SAME NANCY AS THE ONE FROM THE STICKY NOTE!!!!" 

now because we know she just moved to cumberland furnace 1 year ago and she was from hopkinsville about an hour and a half away where she was Active, we know for a fact its not the same nancy...

but he wont be dissuaded!  So he changes his story to say that she didn't live a few houses down but that she lived in cumberland furnace (after we tell him that's where she lives) so then we tell him that she's been a member her whole life.  So He changes his story to say that the missionaries 5 years ago told him that she was a less active.  

But he is So happy that this person is the same person whose sticky note he got, ( which it most definitely is not) and he wont accept the truth and he even went up in testimony meeting yesterday and talked about it...  We don't know what we should do, like we don't want to crush his dreams of meeting this girl but at the same time we know that he wont.  Haha... just something funny that's been going down on the side here.

WELP 

Love Ya'll!
