The Baddest in Town

Due to popular demand I'm now going to tell you about Bobby Brown the baddest in town. So one day when we were walking around trying to talk to people we get this guy who comes out of our house and starts yelling at us "Hey I need you to answer me something What's the deal with the God guy?!?" We were confused about this but we were like what can go wrong? So we get over there and he starts to tell us that Science rules God like Science was a guy. We looked at each other after it happened and said to each other "was he talking about science like he was a guy?" But he started telling us that science ruled God and how because he was raised in the hood and because he was poor he can prove it. He then said at this point "you guys are going around preaching and stuff(censored) and now I'm preaching to you" He also said that we as humans were the supreme creature on the earth and how there's "ants and spiders and stuff(censored)" and how we were better than them so science is better than God. Halfway through the conversation we asked him his name and he got all serious and said "my names Bobby Brown the baddest in town, you can ask anybody you can ask the neighbors across the street and ask them about Bobby Brown and they'll say yeah I know Bobby Brown he's the baddest in town" and after that he said "but I like you guys I got your back you don't need to worry" He then started telling us that we shouldn't take this stuff so seriously going from house to house and stuff(censored) that we should just get online and get 10 people over to our house and give them a bowl of soup cause they're hungry just get like 10 followers. It was uplifting to talk to him because at the end he started telling us to not get down about this stuff and that we're good guys. Also during this whole thing he was asking us if we thought he was crazy and saying stuff like "be honest with me am I crazy I hope I don't sound crazy" Also when we first got there his drinking buddy started yelling and screaming at us to stop especially when we mentioned God. It was scary but after a while he just came and slammed the door shut. Overall I rate this experience a 5 out of 5 it was truly a masterpiece :)

This week though we found out that our calculations on how many ks (kilometers on our car) we had left was wrong. So we successfully did not put a single k on our car for two days this last week. But, in doing so we walked quite the distance in 4 hours. From North Battleford to Battleford. For those of you not familiar with the geography of Saskatchewan There is a river between these two cities. In all it's about 7.5 kilometers from our apartment to the church. It was quite a walk for someone like me who hasn't hiked in ages. It did make me want to get into shape for when I get back and actually can go on hikes in real mountains :) But, from that I think I strained my left hamstring and both of our feet were rekt from that walk. I think the scariest part about all of it is that the only place that there is a sidewalk on this road from North town to south town was on the bridge. On our way back up there was this car that came rocketing down the hill from North Battleford and came busting right past us. It was crazy. We could hear it from way across the river valley. 

So I was also wanting to talk about what we learned at Zone conference from last week. In essence we talked about drawing down the powers of heaven and how to do that. One of the things that really stuck out to me was differentiating Faith as a principle of action and as a principle of power. Another thing that we've been doing was training our thoughts because we learned that thoughts are the beginning of desires. So over the past week we've been asking each other and the meadow lake elders where are thoughts were to try and help us learn how to control our thoughts. It's come up with some interesting things but overall it's been helping :) It was such a good experience and I felt like the entire thing was geared towards helping me. It was so good :) 

I think that's all I have time for but I love you all and next week I'm going to be finding out transfer calls. It's crazy that it's so soon even though it's a 7 week transfer. Love you all. Potatoes gonna potate ;) I hope you all had a wondrous Easter

(I asked him what ways they use to find people.)

 

Right now the main things we do to find people to teach are go around street contacting and getting referrals. It's worked fairly decently but this last week has been slow for that. We did the most finding we've done for ages but we didn't do so well or something because we really didn't talk to many people. 

This has been a pretty good Easter. The videos that the church put out, mainly the #Hallelujah and the virtual Hallelujah Chorus really hit me at this time. I love the message that it brings about how those people who passed away we can see again and they will be resurrected. The Hallelujah Chorus really helped me feel the worship of Jesus as our Lord and Savior and that he will one day come again and reign over us. I absolutely loved it.
