mom and dad

So this has been the longest week of my life. I really never thought that this week was going to end.

Right now the only investigators that we have are Elizabeth and Mildred Phillips. I am not really sure what to do to help them. They have had all the lessons twice and have come to church three times in a row in the past week but Im not sure how to help them. I know that at some point they will enter into the waters of baptism but it all in the lords hands. I know that it will happen one day. We also have some really good potentials its just getting into the doors. Im not going to lie it is hard not having people to teach it makes for long days but no effort wasted right. I know that this area is just ready to burst and i feel so very strong but i will trust in the lords time and not mine.

Sister Hatch and I are doing well. I wish that there was something that i could do to help her relax, I hear that it is illegal to own a tranquilizer gun but i not going to lie if i could get me hand on one i might use it on her. Just Joking! Last week our tracting hours were poor but that is going to get better too.

So this last week i have felt that something was missing and am still not sure what it is. At first i thought that maybe my mind was stuck on home... but i know that i am 100% here. So i started to go through the white hand book to see if there is something that i not being obedient to. I mean... come on i know that i am not perfect if i was i would be translated. I just could not find anything that i was really having a hard time with being disobedient. Then my thought went to maybe its not me.... maybe its sister hatch but that would mean that im not being a 100 % responsible for what is going on... so it can't been her. I still do not know what it is but i got to thinking about the hymn. "More Holiness give me" and one of the last few lines states "More fit for the kingdom, more use would i be". That is the kind of missionary that i want to be. one that my Father in Heaven can say that he can use me for more things and more situations. Oh man do i have a long way to go.

Im not going to lie i am so sick of the rain and then on top of it every time it rains it has to hail. and i would like to thank the hail and rain for making my right knee look like it has been through a chess grader. Im not sure is you have seen the movie with jim carry "how the Grinch stole Christmas" There is this one seen in it where he is reading names out of a phone book and expressing how much he dislikes people and then he gets to one name and state " Loath entirely" That is how i feel about the rain "I loath it Entirely!!!!".
So on friday we were out tracting and things were going great. Everything was wait of course (its Oregon). so we start to head down this down sloped drive way. That's when it happened. legs flying over here and arms over there. Because of gravity and that lovely slop i just did not stop. All i have to say is thank goodness that there was not one a round. My back and well basically my whole body was in a lot of pain. But i was deturmend to finish the street. so i get up and head to the next door. About that time we see the blood gushing down my left leg. Thanks to sister..i mean nurse Hatch me and my leg survived the crash. Im just going to wrap my body in bubble wrap. it was really funny and i am gratefull that i lived to tell the story.

love sister Goetz
