August 4th, 2014- Groundver? Beavhog?

Hello! 
This week has been a really good one! Monday night we dropped in on this guy who had met missionaries before and even went to church before but didn't come back because he thought church was super boring haha.  Really cool guy though!  He had the craziest animal ever in his garage.  He must have just found it and it was injured or something.  None of us knew if it was like a groundhog or a beaver or what....  Tuesday and Wednesday were super fun!  I went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders and went with Elder Zundel to Scottsboro.  I went with him to teach this kid in their area who is getting baptized so that's pretty sweet.  After that Elder Zundel and I headed to Guntersville and played basketball there with the Guntersville Elders and ward members.  Doesn't sound like the most effective thing but there were a bunch of nonmembers and less actives there too so it was awesome!  That night we stayed the night in Guntersville and exchanged back there at district meeting.  Thursday night was great because we saw a less active member who usually does not want to have a gospel discussion.  That night he actually brought up gospel topics.  Friday night we saw a family we have been working with for a while. A grandmother and her grandson.  They are both members but the grandson hasn't been super active.  He is a Deacon but didn't really want/care much to come to church.  Well that night he asked us to give him a blessing since he was nervous about school starting.  He is starting to understand the importance of the priesthood. 
Sunday was so good too!  Another less active we have been working with made it to church and even bore her testimony.  She is super cool and I think she will be a big strength to the branch!  Then Sunday night we were tracting and met the coolest guy!  He is Baptist but told us how much respect he has for Mormons and how he wishes Baptist churches would be more like us.  We don't meet too many people like that haha.  Anyways we are going to start teaching him!!  The Lord really blessed us this week!  Well I hope yalls week was awesome!  I love yall!
