(Hello My name is Elder Stevens) in Hmong.. So I got a Hmong Name this week, They obviously don't have Stevens in Hmong so this Hmong lady had to give me a new name. Which is Pov Lauj, Which is the Hmong name for the Apostle Paul. Pretty neat!
Vince now has a job and just moved into a place in Chilton, right down the road from the church. So we were able to see him a few times. He is doing well, of course is taking it very hard but seems to be getting through it. He isn't crying as much as he was a few weeks ago so that's good..
John is doing great. We've been able to read the Book of Mormon over the phone with him every night and visit him on Saturday. We taught him the Word of Wisdom. He gets everything except the Coffee and Tea part but he is very open minded and is willing to try it out. He doesn't have a problem with the drinking or smoking part as he had already expressed he was against those. We're able to be completely open and honest with John. We joke around and have lots of fun with him as we have a really good relationship and then were able to buckle down and have a really good lesson with him. It's great.
We met with Granny again this week. We helped her out in her basement, cleaning and organizing stuff as she is planning to move in the next couple months. It was rainy that day so it was good to help out inside. We're re-doing all the lessons with her so we taught her the Plan of Salvation and she really enjoyed it. It was nice.
We visited a former investigator that was camping out by the campfire when we stopped by. He immediately welcomed us and invited us to sit down. He started talking about how he totally agrees with the Mormons and believe they're the true church and everything but he doesn't agree on the Word of Wisdom.. That is literally the only reason he hasn't been baptized and stopped coming to church.. Hes gold except for that.. That's why the previous missionaries stopped seeing him, because he won't budge on his beer.. So were gonna start working with him now.. His name is Todd.
Anyways. Those were the main points of the week. This week went super quick! I hope you are all doing great! I love and miss you all!
Elder Stevens.
