I am doing pretty well. The Zoo was
pretty fun last week. Spending 15 bucks to look at animals was a little
much for a missionary but whatever I figured it was something I should
do at least once on a mission. The gorilla was awesome though.
The work
is getting better slowly but surely. The lesson with Robert the atheist
alright. We got a return appointment for tomorrow so something good must
have happened. It was hard though because he didn't have any questions
or anything. But whatever we'll be seeing him tomorrow so hopefully he's
thought about what we told him.
Anyways the kid I arm wrestled. He
lives in the Bellevue 1st boundaries so we don't get to teach him :( I
was excited. But things will work out I'm sure. His name is Joshua but
he's native so I guess it's pronounced or maybe even spelled Jesooah. I
have no idea.
But things are going well with Dan. He is in his 40's
maybe 50's and we read with him out of the Book of Mormon on Friday. And
this Thursday we're going to see him and we're probably going to teach
him the Plan of Salvation. He has a lot of questions about seeing loved
ones again and it's hard to show him scripturally because it's not
mentioned often.
Speaking of scriptures I am now in Moroni. I'll be
finished by next week.
Anyways I think Dan could have some great
potential. I think his wife is Catholic and isn't too fond of Mormons
but she's nice to us and everything but she doesn't sit in on lessons.
But maybe that'll change. I don't understand how Catholics can say they
believe in the Bible when their doctrine has so many contradicting
things with it. But whatever people who are religious by tradition
probably don't care.
Oh and we also started teaching this Sudanese guy
named Chan Wol Majok. He is super nice but a bit hard to understand.
There are a lot of Sudanese people in Nebraska. Chan has been taught
before but he kind of fell off the map but we got in touch with him and
retaught the Restoration. We also soft set him for baptism so we'll see
how that works out.
And about the guy who we gave the blessing. His name
is Robert. He is probably in his 50's and he's awesome. On the night we
gave him a blessing he talked to us for like 2 hours haha. He's pretty
funny. Anyways he told his Sister who is a member that he really enjoyed
and I mean REALLY enjoyed talking to us and wants to talk to us again.
So he's coming back to Nebraska (he's doesn't live here I don't think)
and is going to see us.
And Mom thanks for the offer with money and
everything. Maybe I'll go buy a soundtrack today if that's alright with
you. So just keep an eye out for that. Hopefully there is something good
at Walmart haha. I already got the Man of Steel soundtrack so don't you
worry about that haha. Well I hope you guys are doing great.
Things are
getting better and I'm definitely getting more comfortable with
everything. I love you guys! I'm going to play basketball today so I'm
excited! Take care and have a great week everybody!
Love,
Elder Ballif
