Something that stinks is sister hatch and I are sharing a car with some elders in another area. so they have it sunday, monday, tuesday, and we have it for the rest of the week. So yeah, I'm learning how to work the bus system, and how to walk long distances. I now have some lovely blisters and from yesterday! We must have walked at least 10 miles. Ugh. The pain. Also, on Sunday we lost our phone!! We think the last place we had it was at the bus stop, but we searched there and our apartment, and it is no where to be found. :( So we'll get a new one on Wednesday! But since Sunday afternoon, we've been without a car and a phone! It makes things very difficult. However, on Wednesday we will be getting our car back, a phone and Ipads!! It's going to make our lives much much easier.

I'm really hoping that we are able to find more people who want to be taught! This is a very slow process, and it can get very discouraging when are numbers are zeroes at the end of the day. However, D&C 68:6 is what's been keeping us going!

I miss the utah bubble!! This place is so crazy!! Like... it's great, but it's crazy.

So we were going around knocking on doors of former investigators (oh, we're whitewashing the area too, so that's rough) and we knocked on this door and a woman answered who seemed a bit confused, but then her especially special daughter walked up to the door behind her and as soon as she saw us she sort of squealed and bowed down to us!! It was the funniest thing!! Sister Hatch said she thinks they were on some sort of drugs, but I can't tell the difference between mentally ill and drugged up. Either way they were super weird.

Haha it doesn't feel like I'm in a different country. Like at all. It feels just like the ghetto of utah! And people are NOT nice!! The members are great, but the normal humans without any knowledge of Christ are uhh... rude. to say the least. I've gotten doors slammed in my face, that is... if they answer their doors. Haha. This one time, we knocked on a door and it had a glass window so you could see right inside! And we see this woman come up... she folded her arms and stared at us for a little while... so we waved awkwardly... and then she locked the door and went back to folding her arms and staring at us! My companion and I just walked away and laughed it off. But Cedar City peeps are by far the nicest people I've ever met! I miss cedar so much!! 

Allow me to tell you a little story about Brian! Sister Hatch and I were going to contact a referral, but she wasn't home. So we were left with nothing to do, but maybe tracting? Which isn't the best idea in the book. So we were walking back to our car, and we saw this man washing his car. I was like okay... we should talk to him. We waved at him and he smiled and waved back, which is very uncommon! So we walked on up to him! Small talk at first, but then he just started talking about how he's no christian man, because he smokes and drinks, and doesn't go to church. But he said he believes in Christ and God and he is a single father so he tries to be good to his children and he just kept talking and talking! Sister hatch and I didn't even bring up the topic of religion! But he started saying things like "where do we go when we die? no one knows for sure, eh? How do we know what the right things to do are all the time? no one knows for sure, eh?" Anyways, he kept saying things like that. And then I remembered that as we were walking out of our apartment that day i felt like I should go grab a plan of salvation pamphlet! So I was like BINGO! Yes!! And we ended up giving that to him and a book of mormon :) he looked at it and was like "Book of.... Whatever" haha. it was funny. We're not sure if we'll see any success with him, but we will definitely check up on him this week!
