Wolverine is one of the x-men

sorry no letter yesterday, it was not p-day, but today is! i hope everyone is doing way good! we have 4 baptisms set up for this coming weekend for the Benjamin family, and Keshona, Brother Smiths granddaughter! So that's exciting! Well yesterday we fasted as a companionship and as a district to find more people and to help the Benjamins get baptized.. fasting is tough, but we did it and it was funny how quickly the Lord blessed us.. an hour or so after we had ended our fast and ate some dinner, Elder Burrows felt inspired to go to a street we hadn't been to for awhile and just started knocking.. the very first house we knocked invited us in right away.. and that is weird.. we didn't even tell them what we were sharing just that it was a message about Jesus Christ.. we went in sat down and told this mother and her daughter what we share and taught them and extended a baptismal invitation.. after wards as we were way surprised by this blessing, we knocked 2-3 other houses, who were not interested and then came to another house, who likewise invited us in, and we taught a husband and wife and extended a baptismal invitation for them as well.. it was awesome how quickly we saw the fruits of our fast.. the Lord truly pays attention to all of His missionaries where ever they are! But moving on.. it SNOWED last night.. yup.. it wasn't very much or very special but it was cool, we had a sweet snowball fight as a district this morning.. i don't really have any good pictures though.. but if it snows again tonight ill get some grood ones! I am doing well.. Not sick anymore though my ear ache seems to still be there a little bit.. ear infections are horribly annoying!.. So i think there are about 3 more weeks left in this transfer.. I'm stoked to see what happens.. not that i particularly want to leave sumptown, But I am ready for some more missionary experiences! We did knock on this one door a few days ago.. and this man came out a little hesitant perhaps and we told him that we share a message about how our Savior Jesus Christ, has called another Prophet named Joseph Smith.. And man this guy almost acted scared to death, and became honestly pretty childish.. he quickly moved back into his house and said that "we don't believe the same thing we only believe that Jesus Christ was 'the only prophet' and you are teaching about Joseph Smith! We have a pizza to eat!" And quickly ran back inside of his house (why was he so.. afraid??) then as we walked away and laughed about the situation perhaps a little, he yelled out.. "We're praying for you!".. it was just weird.. I mean if he believed that Jesus Christ was the only prophet, who was Moses? who was Noah? what is Amos 3:7 talking about?... Anyway.. that was just a funny experience.. a lot of people may study and read the bible but... they skip the MOST IMPORTANT parts.. I'm not saying this guy was a bad guy, but not really a nice guy.. Welp.. I love you guys!! Keep drinking kool-aid!
