Called to Serve Elder Jeff Vance Marvin: January 21, 2013: Letter Home

So this week has been pretty good it was a rough start at the beginning because of a member who brought Elder Leithead down was very rude and was yelling at me because she misinterpreted the directions that were given. And when I told her the directions on the phone she said I was sassy and raised my voice. But I think I was trying to get the address through to her. I think I was insulting her intelligence because of the plainness of my directions. It was ridiculous and she told me she didn't like me and hopes I never serve in her ward. I kinda hope I do just to say Hi and to prove to her I'm not the person she drew me out to be. That was the crazy story for this week, and I imagine she's a great lady just caught her on a bad day.
So in missionary work this week we went around some members homes sharing messages specifically about missionary work and I hope and pray that with what we're doing and the ward council is doing that the work starts being pushed in the directions it needs to be.
So we are still meeting with Paul the buy raised Catholic who doesn't like Catholicism. He's slowly progressing he's reading the Book of Mormon and says he's praying about it so he's coming along very slowly, but nonetheless coming.
Still trying to get set official lessons with the part member family we've been working with, and I hope we can because they're an awesome family and they're coming to church quite regularly and the father who is the nonmember wants to help with a new move in, in the ward and it's like why aren't you baptized? But we're praying and working with them.
I've gotten over my cold, but I feel a sore throat beginning so I'm doing what I can to stop it. It seems like everyone has the flu now it's ridiculous! We knock on someone's door, "Sorry not a good time we're all sick. So we're hoping this flu epidemic comes to an end real soon and doesn't affect us in anyway.
So hows everything going in good old Utah? Cold I hear. So my new companion is a stud we both really want to work hard and so that's what we're doing. He played football so we've got some common ground. I'm excited about what's going on in the work. Its AWESOME!
