5 new investigators!

2/11/2013

So this week was really good, we found 5 new investigators this week, 4 of them is a family, there is 3 kids and a grandma, the grandma has guardianship over the kids, and they know there bible pretty well for a 7,8 and 9 yr old, we showed them the tea bag lesson, its when we empty a tea bag and stand it up on someones hand and light it on fire,and near the end the tea bag floats off there hand, so we use that with faith and enduring to the end,so they thought that was way cool, oh and get this, we would have never had found them if I didn' have a brother named Roscoe, cause we found a street name that was named Roscoe so i wanted to get a picture with it, so the first door we knocked on was that family, so that was pretty Awesome.
And the other investigators are some formers that elder Jensen contacted while we where on exchanges with the zone leaders.
So that was the highlight of the week, pretty cool huh?
There isn't any thing that I want you guys to pray for specifically, just pray that the Holy Ghost well touch their hearts,
So I did email Jessica today, and the email worked this time so I don't know why it didn"t work the first time.
So if you could can you give me more updates on how the family is doing?, I fell like I'm in the dark out here, how is Roscoe's progress on the mission papers?
Well I hope you all have a good week and I hope that dad can get a interview soon.
Love you all

New area

Hey family so this week was pretty good so this was has been pretty good, my new companion is Elder Jensen from Price Utah, he is almost done with his mission, and I'm going to be his last companion, so i get to kill him off( missionary lingo for last area and stuff) but he started his mission in Sullivan and now he is ending it here, so allot of the branch member know him pretty well.
So Sullivan is a smaller town than Columbia, there is about 7000 people here.
the branch has about 150 active members out of 300, so there is allot of less actives mainly because they live farther away and not a whole lot of people out here have jobs either so the people here are allot more humble than most people back in Columbia, but the branch is awesome they are all funny and have a good spirit about them, most of them are rednecks and they don't deny it either, and i love it!! :) because i get to talk about guns with them so that's always something that makes me happy :D.
So I am so excited that Jessica got her mission call!!! that is so crazy, can you send me her Email address so that i can con-graduate her.

so I was actually happy to be able to pack up my stuff and move to a new area, i feel like its a fresh start. cause being stuck in a area for 7 1/2 months gets kinda boring and repetitive.
So I am so excited to hear that Jessica got her mission call, she is going to do great there, I can't wait to tell Dayan and Devin we got permission to email each other so I've been emailing them lately .

So I'm glad that dad was able to use that gift card that i got him, i almost forgot about it,
So I'm sorry that Roscoe clipped the car, i know how you feel Roscoe cause i backed up into Jason's car at one point and put the first dent into his car, so try not to beat your self up about it, OK
So it sounds like every one is doing great
I hope you guys are well.
Love you all Elder Dixon
PS HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
