Last Tuesday, one of our investigators named
Jerry got married. He is like 80 years old and he got married so that he
could get baptized this Saturday. He had a small wedding and he got
married to a member in the ward. He is from New Jersey and has super bad
hearing haha but he has a strong testimony of this Church and he asked
me to baptize him so I am pretty excited!
On
Wednesday we added the Perez family. 4 out of 5 of them are baptism age and they
are soo cool but they are super busy. We shared the Because He Lives video with them and they loved it! We committed them to read the Book of
Mormon as a family and pray about it!
After that lesson we tried to go visit a potential investigator named Amy. Amy lives a sketchy neighborhood and we went at like 8 pm haha. As we arrived, we pulled over across the street and sat in the car for a bit (I can't remember why). anyway,as we were waiting, we saw a dude come of the house at which we parked. Something about him seemed very strange. he seemed to be watching us, and that was alarming to Elder Kiser. As we were preparing to leave, I saw him begin walking to our car. Sensing that we were in danger, Elder Kiser keenly went to hit the lock button. He instead hit the window button first, then he moved over to the lock button in desperation. However, as it turned out, he actually ended up unlocking the car. The guy continued to walk to our car, and we were both freaking out as he opened up our rear door and poked his head in. I was like, "whoa, whoa, whoa brother what are you doing?". He proceeded to say, with a hint of confusion and uncertainty in his voice, "are you guys delivery?" With relief we both said, "no, no we are not!" he then replied, "oh man, I am sorry, I thought you weren't the same car that came last time, sorry about that." We later witnessed a girl get out of a car with a backpack, walked in, and walked out five seconds later. We were totally mistaken for drug dealers hahahaha. While she went inside two dudes that were with her came and walked into the yard that we were in. Elder Kiser is freaking out at this point. I see that he is wearing a Cleveland Indians hat on and asked him if he was from Ohio because I was. He told me no and kept smoking. We ended up just getting in the car and driving away. I'm pretty sure the reason he didnt beat us up is because he knew thatIi was a thug from Cleveland that shouldnt be messed with haha just kidding XD.

Last week we added
a guy named Keith Askerneese. He is a Methodist Minister and we were
kinda hesitant to teach him because we didn't know how sincere he was so
we invited a member to come with us and we had an amazing lesson with
him! He is so humble and sincere. He works at the jail and helps people
there.
We also added the Hada family! They are
so solid! They have a lot of good questions and really want to know the
truth. We added the parents on our first visit and the son on the
second visit and hopefully we can add the daughters soon.
On
Friday I had district meeting. I love preparing for district meeting. I
love praying and receiving revelation to how to help my district. After district meeting I had DLC, it's a meeting where all the district
leaders in the zone get together with the zone leaders and talk about
missionaries in the zone that are struggling.
Yesterday
I went on exchanges with Elder Arntsen! He is a pretty amazing
missionary. He has been struggling quite a bit recently though because
he and his companion haven't been getting along very well. I was able to
talk with him a lot about the situation and I gave him a blessing. We
had a really good day yesterday and I was able to seek revelation for a
missionary in my district that was struggling.
Well I gotta go! Love you all! Hope you had a good Easter!
Love,
Elder Chris LaRochelle
