I'm officailly 21. It's funny how if you tell anyone that it's your 21st birthday outside of the church they assume that you are going to be partying hard that night. I'm happy to say I still haven't drunk a drop of alchohol. I've seen the effects that it can have on some people and it's sad.
My birthday felt like just about any other day. We had a zone huddle and then ate at Double Daves, a pizza buffett. Then we knocked doors, taught people and worked hard. I didn't tell anyone about it because I don't like the attention, so my companion was happy to tell everyone. I heard from grandma and grandpa and they sent me a tie.
The work had slowed down there for a bit, but it is beginning to pick back up. A lot of the people we had been teaching had recieved anti from a couple of sources. We stopped by one of them, and he let us know that he was still interested. He said that he is trying really hard to stay sober right now and trying not to deal with too much else. I wish he understood the role the atonement could play in his life. He is doing well and we will probably stop by every couple of weeks to see if he is ready.
We also started teaching a young man who is the grandson of a member in the ward. He is excited to learn. He loves to read and is willing to pray. I know that if he will do those two things with an open mind he will recieve an answer to his prays. I love how simple it is.
We had the Assistants to the President come and visit us on Monday evening. We went and visited with a few of our investigators. I sometimes get frusterated at how number focused the AP's can be. They are great teachers but a lot of the time they will get in and scare away investigators by trying to set dates. Luckily they didn't scare anyone this time. They spent the night and then in the morning did studies with us. They had us role play with them and commented that we were the best companionship they had seen in their travels.
Other than that nothing too new is going on.
I love y'all
Love Elder Rindlisbacher
