ey mom hows it going? not much to talk about this week! i havent had enought ime to really get to know my companion yet so i dont know! all i know that he is hilarious and he is crazy! he is like six five and really tall. yesterday we were tracting and we tracted into this house of this asian guy and he came outside and we introduced ourselves and hes told us that he has his own religion and that hes not interested. so elder richardson asked him if we could just give him a pamphlet to read and he accepted it, so i asked him if we could just go over the pictures and explain a couple things. and he agreed! so we started to teach him the restoration and his interest level went from like none to very and when we were at like the spiritual high point of the lesson his wife came out and you could tell she was not interested at all. so we were asking him if we could come by some other time to give him a book of mormon and he was just about to say yes but his wife just said "no we have our own bible and we dont need any more" so i asked if we could pray before we leave and the lady was just like no. shes the first lady that ive met on my mission who has denied a prayer!

hey mom sorry for the lack of emails. two weeks ago i had the email written out and everything i just forgot to hit send i guess. and last week the computers shut off and when they came back on the email website thingy wasnt working anymore! but this week was pretty good! we went on exchanges this week and during the exchange elder jensen and i went down to the very outskirts of our area to contact one of our referrals. as we were walking up to the house he was standing outside, so i thought to myself (because he looked a little white trash) that this guy wasnt really going to be interested. so we walk up to him and i asked him if his name was kevin and he said yea. so i introduced myself to him and told him that we raan out of bibles but we have a book of mormon for him and told him we would bring a bible back to him when we get more bibles. we eventually ended up having a great talk about the importance of families and moral values! i hope yall had a nice valentines day! for us it was pretty nice, we had a baptism in the branch! one of the primary kdis turned 8 so he got baptized. im really bad at taking pictures but im doing good! not much really to complain about. elder lisonbee is getting transfered out to a new area for his last one so that means i will be getting a new companion. its always stressful getting a new companion and especially if you are taking over an area! so pray that ill get a cool comp and that ill be able to know what to do! love yall! thanks for all the prays and crap! elder horrocks oh yeah also one of the members came up to me on church and told me that ive been one of the most real missionaries hes seen in a while! so thats pretty cool!
