Last week was pretty crazy - For P-day we went to Wilmington for our district activity and it was super fun. We played basketball and soccer and had just a super good time. Then guess what??? We got stuck in traffic for 3 hours!!! We didn't get home until 7 it was sooooo dumb but not bad at the same time because I was so tired.
So Tuesday we did what was called a blitz and we tracted for 6 hours straight and it totally paid off!!! We now have 3 new investigators so that was cool and I was so happy. They are the first investigators that I have found. We found Ishmon who is an older guy in his 70's and he is pretty lonely. Holland is a lady in her 20's she was super nice and very open to the gospel. The last one was Danielle she is in her 30's I think. We taught them a little and then set up a time to teach them this week. It will be fun and I am very excited about it. One more thing I do know is that they all have a background with Jehovahs witness . I did have one guy that put a curse on us!!! We walked up to this older gentlemans home and he came out and was oh mormon boys so we were ok cool he knows who we are and he started talking about the spirit and how yall are false prophets and then he said I curse you to know by the spirit that tonight your car will break down and that you will get sick so that you know that you are false prophets. So yeah that was awesome and the car works great and I feel fine - we made sure we prayed for that man last night!!! It's kind of funny how many people here really don't like mormons and how no one really knows anything about us. While we were talking to a new investigator her mom told us that we don't read the bible and she slammed a bible on the window because we were outside. My companion and I both looked at the bibles in our hands. I was tempted to put my bible back in the window from the outside but then again I don't want to get shot so it was all cool!!!
We visited with Bro Malpass who is a super cool guy and really funny and we visited with the Evonkos. Jack is the husband who is a recent convert also. One of the recent converts told us the other day that other then Sunday the day they look forward to in the week is the day we come over and visit with them. That is so awesome.
On Sunday we had an area 70's at our ward - it was great he got me out of the talk that I was suppose to give!!! LOL!!!
The people here in Leland are super awesome and taking very good care of us. One of the families who loves us fed us steak the other night!!! We also visited with Randal and had a super awesome talk with and he made us some delicious sandwiches.
We are going to do another exchange with another set of elders tomorrow. I get to take over my area which is kind of scary but it will be great and I get to drive!! I can't do anything to bad because the car monitors you and tells you if your doing anything wrong gotta love it!!
love yall and miss yall
Elder Hutchings
