Second Week

Sooo This week hasn't been as note worthy I guess, since I've just been getting in the swing of things. No new stuff really so I guess I'll just talk about some smaller stuff.  I need to start writing down stuff that happened because now when I'm sitting here, I can't think of hardly anything.

We had a baptism set for this past Saturday. We filled up the baptismal font and had people show up. And the investigator was a no show. He didn't show up for his own baptism. They've been teaching this dude whose about 19 for a few months now and they say he doesn't keep commitments very well. But he quit smoking and chew and all that stuff so he could be baptized. This is the 3rd time he's bailed on (us) them on his baptism day and we thought he was progressing but I guess not. It's a really hard situation with him. I didn't explain it very good but were disappointed in him because he set up the times and everything for his baptism, interview and conformation date and then he didn't even come through. So we don't know what to do with him.  

And the guy I committed to baptism, we haven't been able to get into contact with him since. So yea. We have some new people that seem interested though. We have tons of names of potentials but not many progressing investigators at the moment.

The AP's (assistants to the president) even came down from Milwaukee for this guys baptism who didn't show, because Elder Stephens taught him when he was serving in Sun Prairie. They stayed the night in our apartment. There's a new AP named Elder Eyring (so its not Elder McKay and Elder Stephens anymore) and he is a clean freak.

This whole week we've been deep cleaning our apartment. Mom, you would be so proud of me to see how I took the initiative in cleaning our apartment... I deeeply scrubbed our shower, toilet, sink, kitchen and everything. They were yellow/black and now they're squeaky clean, white. I'm proud of it hahah. I also rearranged our furniture and made us have soo much more room. Then we found out the AP's were coming to stay the night and we were super relieved because this clean freak was coming to stay and we had just cleaned our apartment. He was very pleased with how clean our apartment was he told us.

We also made a whiteboard instead of buying one. Ingenuity. We have a whole wall just for whiteboards where we write our investigators names and stuff.

We found a Waldorf Ct. That's pretty funny.

I'ts been soooo cold, its snowed 2 of the days and I had to drive in it. I took it slow, but it was fun sliding around corners and stuff.  Tracting in negative degree weather is fun. Everyone is like "Why in the world are you outside in this weather!?"  Everyone's mostly nice though.

I cant really think of anything else. Love you guys!
