Hey family,
Well another week has passed away....
Nothing funny to tell sorry, just a plain ole week :)
Sister Lyman and I did tract into a man whom we both thought was...i feel weird saying the word but........gay. Our area covers quite a few cities spread out. Bedford and Maple Heights are where past sisters have spent the majority of there time in. So we decided to branch out a little and tract in Solon. Now Solon is a pretty wealthy area, not very fun to tract in. Giant houses, a large population of jews, and we found that not very many people want to talk to ya. After hiking, yes literally hiking through 2 feet of snow to get to the door, Bob answered and invited us right in. Bob frightened sister lyman and i a little....his response to us was "yeah come on in. you want to know what I know? i'll tell ya what I know." hmmmm....ok....silly bob. We had an interesting conversation with him. His wife didn't want to talk to us and it turned out that when Bob's kids were younger he wrote a book all about religion. He has some strange beliefs about God and also believes that when we do something good it sends some kind of signal wave out to others....yeah, way to smart for my tiny little brain to understand and a little to strange if ya ask me. We did get to share with Bob a scripture from the Book of Mormon and Pray with him before we left. There has been a handful of times tracting where i've felt the spirit....this being one. He wasn't interested in us coming back, but hopefully someday Bob or someone in his family will want to learn.
We did get to finally meet with Dwain and Desiree again. Yahoo! Things are not exactly where Sister Lyman and i would like them to be, but they are at least still wanting to meet with us. There priorities right now are wrestling, yes wrestling! Over Church Come on!!! heehee Apparently wrestling is quite a huge deal for this family and all there kids. Thats there reason for not coming to church. At least thats what they say any way. I've been realizing that alot of people taught understand with there minds the things we are teaching, some more then others of course, but 99% of them don't understand with there hearts. How do we help people feel this is true with there heart? Thats what Dwain and Desiree need. Once they feel it, then i think everything will fall into place. Hopefully!
Well i love you family and miss you a ton! i hope that everything back home is fabulous for you all! Im doing great. The mission is moving along quickly and I'm growing in more ways then i ever expected. I'll make sure to try and have a funny story to tell ya next week :)
Talk to soon!!!
LOVE,
Sister Houston
