Hey Family.
This week was pretty slow again. The less actives aren't
progressing, the investigators aren't progressing and the members don't
help which is actually the most important part of missionary work. When
the members don't help the missionary work goes stagnant.
We are still working with Daniel. He is just not
ready to quit chewing tobacco. He had is baptismal interview and the
DL Elder Hawkins (who is awesome) caught him with a can of chew in his
pocket and called him out but he made excuses about needing the weight
in his pants and some other bs. And then 2 days later me and Elder
Crozier stopped by for an unexpected visit and he was chewing and when
Elder Crozier asked why he had it in and he said "I didn't know you guys
were going to stop by" So at church Elder Crozier asked him what we
needed to do to help him stop chewing and he said "Stop pushing me so
hard" and we literally haven't pushed him hard at all. All we have said
is you need to quit by this date to get baptized on this date. So yeah. We are not too thrilled with his behavior.
Oh and I got in a car accident on Saturday. That was fun.
It wasn't my fault though so yeah I'm not too worried about it but I
still feel bad. Nebraska has a lot of "4 way go's" which is a 4 way
intersection with no lights or yields or stop signs. Yeah pretty
retarded since the drivers here have a hard enough time handling green
means go and red means stop. Or and they don't know what a turn signal
is used for I don't think. Yeah sarcasm but there is some truth.
Anyways 4 way goes are yield to the rights so this old lady stopped and
so yeah I thought she was yielding so yeah by law I wouldn't have to
stop anyway and as I was starting to go through the intersection she
pulled out and broadsided the car. Yeah she was driving a Buick tank so
not really any damage on her car (it was an elderly woman) but the
driver's door of the fusion is pretty messed up. So yeah I'm filling out
church paperwork for that so it's just a lot of fun. But on the
brightside no one got hurt.
I
hoping this week will improve. I had an individual fast yesterday for
some help on some things and I hope it works out. I love you guys! Stay
safe!
Love,
Elder Ballif
