One does not simply walk into Mordor

ok well not much to report sadly enough. but on a good news side we had corned beef and cabbage yesterday and guess what!!!!!!! I LOVED IT! it was the weirdest thing in the world because i like LOVED it and i've always not liked cabbage at all but now i love it! that was weird... 

so sadly we had yet another week of one massive ZERO to report to our leaders which makes me very sad but at the same time i know how much we've been working and that what we are doing sure isn't going to help us now but it will help to prepare the area and members for later. instead of actually having members do straight up missionary work (which they won't do) we've been challenging them to go out and meet three of their neighbors who they don't already know and then when we follow up with them for that, we challenge them to have one of those families over for dinner or game night and then when they do that we start over, this is what Elder Jackson and i came up with to help the members actually get to know the people around them. 

OH! BIG HUGE EARTH SHAKING NEWS!!!!! i have officially tracted every single street in the area! wow that was the most efficient use of time in which nothing got done! 

so needless to say we are refocusing our efforts to work with members and do our best to help them do missionary work. i have faith that once people start getting to know the people around them and they are able to make friends and build relationships then eventually the work will be able to pick up and this area will be great! 

we were sitting in ward council and they were working to get something done and it was amazing! the wards here once they have something to do are these giants at getting them done but the problem they have is they don't have any missionary work to do yet but we are all working on it.

well all in all I've been healthy happy and sleepy as usual. oh so funny story our zone leaders were pulling a prank on us and they set the alarm to 2:30 am and apparently we all got out of bed and started praying but then the others figured out that it was way too early and they went back to bed but i had fallen asleep while kneeling by my bed AND THEY LEFT ME THERE! so i woke up this morning with rather sore knees haha oh it was funny

any whom i love you all have a amaztastic (amazing fantastic) day/week/time
I love you!
