Dear Everyone I love so much!

So this week was pretty rough everyone we had planned to teach fell through and we were left with no one to teach. So every day for hours we would knock on doors day in and day out; just knocking and nobody was ever interested! It was pretty frustrating but we kept pushing on and trusting Heavenly Father, and we eventually found some promising investigators Leeman and Loren!

Leeman is super cool and really loves god! We taught him the restorationand he really liked it! We are meeting him again this week and we are hopefully going to put him on a baptismal date! Things are looking up!

Loren was super good for about a lesson… but then she gave us back the Book of Mormon and told us she just wanted to stay Catholic, and that she did not want us to see her again. So that kind of stunk but it is okay! We planted a seed with her that future missionaries can harvest! She just is not ready yet!

Aleisha also asked a while ago about my investigator Austin. In short we do not see him anymore. We went to his house one day and his Mom came out and threw the Book of Mormon at us and started to yell and scream telling us to stop confusing her son and filling his head with non-sense! She also told us never to come near her house or her son again. So that was kind of awkward but we just smiled and said okay hope you have a great day! It is so frustrating when the agency of others gets in the way of a person’s salvation! But it is okay I know Austin will come to the gospel one day.

Genesis’s baptism is this Saturday so we are really praying that he will be ready! He has come to church every Sunday that we have been teaching him and he loves it! He cannot wait to be baptized so he can come out teaching with us; and be a part of Christ’s true gospel! Ha ha he is awesome!

We also put Genesis’s daughter Destiny on a baptismal date for the 26th and taught her the restoration! She is so excited to be baptized and she always comes to church with Genesis! Ugh I just love that family! We are hoping that Genesis can be baptized and receive the priesthood so he could baptize Destiny! That would be Awesome!

Anyway that should do it for my week! Hope all is well at home!

I love you ALL! (Mostly Robin!)

Keep carrying on! 94 weeks left crazy! Got so much to do!

Love, Elder Shelden… BAZINGA!!! … I mean Elder Rupp
