Thank you sooooo much for the package!! That was the coolest package in the whole wide world!!! The Shirt is amazing!!! I'm wearing it today during basketball! And the magic tricks are so legit. We're going to baptize with those tricks!!! And I loved the warm fuzzies! . The only thing is... I threw away the candy in the package. It was hard to do but this transfer I'm 100% off desserts and sweets. It's tough but hey gotta stay fit. Elder Andrew and I ran 3 miles every morning this past week. Booya! I weighed myself yesterday and I was 145. which would mean I've gained 10 lbs. But i Think their scale was off. It was a cheap one. But I have grown half an inch since I left. Good news eh?! THe harder you work the taller you grow right?! Uncle Jeff must have worked super hard to grow an entire foot!
So one thing you never talk about in Mission Prep is Finding. These past two weeks we've been putting all our efforts into finding new people to teach. It's been a lot of hard work that doesn't seem too rewarding because the results are all later down the road but we've found about 15 potential investigators. But there is always the trial before the triumph so a big miracle is coming soon I know it!
Elder Andrew and I started what we call the "rejection book" since we've been knocking on so many doors and meeting so many new people we get a lot of rejections haha some of them include....
"Keep on movin boys, Just keep movin"
Man: Did you leave anything on my porch?
Us: No
Man: Good then you won't have to come back and get it.
"If I was a religious man I'd b a mormon. I've been Jack mormon for the last 70 years!!! Not interested."
"Yeah I know Mormons, you guys aren't allowed to eat pepper... or even have it in your house!"
"Sorry I don't agree with some of your beliefs, like how lizards can talk" hahaha never heard that one before!
"Not interested" Slam!
"Have a good day!" Slam!
There are also alot more colorful rejections of which I have chosen not to share.
Anyway being a missionary is so amazing!!! I love it with all my heart! I'll have some good stories next week! I'm so excited for Alex's baptism!!!! I can't wait! I have it written all over my planner and my calendar!!!
Love you so much family! Keep sharing the gospel with everyone you can!
Love, Elder Whiting
