Papa Smurf's Birthday Week

Alright Family well it is the week before the big trip...
Holy cow i cant believe it is already time for all the family to roll into lake powell.. well this week was really just awesome. me and my companion are getting to know our area and all the members and investigators that we get to teach and all that good stuff.. the area we now know pretty well and this week we had 21 lessons in total.. so that was cool.. we kept ourselves working hard searching for some more people to teach because the people we have right now all have just crazy problems and doubts that are more difficult than the normal.. things that they just cant accept happened or recognize that with a prayer, we can receive an answer.. it was just really annoying when we went and visited three different people and they all just said well i dont know if that actually happened, and i dont believe in prayer so you need to convince me it happened with more than you will feel good about something.. so we pulled out all the scriptures we could and i realized that this person really had no interest in the gospel.. she just wanted to listen to the scriptures and I really i dont know why.. she was just getting in my head i think or that is how i felt.. Well after that we had some awesome study sessions this week.. in my personal study i read in mormon, in the book of mormon.. it was really just amazing how much we can get out of just one book in the book of mormon.. i was reading and just soaking in the information.. it was awesome.. in chapter 7 and 9 it just talks about everything .. i dont know how else to explain it.. you should just go and read it.. next thing this week i am back in lima for today anyway because my companion has some bad knees so he is going to get those checked out here in the next little bit and that is why i cant write a ton today.. but i am doing awesome.. my area is coming to life slowly and i love it.. and well last thing i want to say is, happy birthday to my papa smurf this week.. on the sixteenth.. man pops i hadnt thought about it until right now but i wont see you until your sixty.. hahaha.. how funny is that. i hope you have a good one and i am thinking there is a good chance you will work right through it.. but i hope you enjoy every minute and well enjoy preparing for lake powell... oh and last thing again.... this goes out to all of you.. Be safe and dont do things like stab your hand or throw buckets at peoples faces and lastly dont do anything to sink the boat.. that is all i ask.. haha love you all so much and hope you have a great time at the lake..
