None of you will know me in the year 2017

Hi Everyone! I hope everyone had a great New Year's and you all made some awesome resulutions! 

This week was kind of blahh... We tracted most of the time which for some reason I love doing (probably because I feel productive even if we don't talk to very many people). We met one kid named Eric who seemed interested but we haven't gotten ahold of him since because we asked him to talk to his parents about meeting with us. We went knocking down this one street and knocked on one door and the lady looked out the window and said something but I didn't understand what she said so I knocked again. Then she banged on the door and yelled, "GO AWAY!! WE DON'T WANT ANY!!!" Whoops... The next house was Diane. She is a Born Again Christian and she travels around the world to bring others unto Christ. She invited us in and we talked for like an hour. She has an incredible testimony and so much faith, she just is scared of the Book of Mormon. Oh well, maybe later in life her heart will soften. Then we met Chris who also is a Born Again and we are going to take him a Book of Mormon later this week. Last night we were struggling so we decided to pray for a miracle. Then the next door we knocked on was Alex. He is kind of weird, like he believes in conspiracy theories, aliens, and reincarnation but he wanted to hear our message about Christ so I am hopeful he will become our new investigator. 

Yesterday Sister Cragun and I had to lead Singing Time in primary and there was only like 7 kids there which is so weird to me. I guess I have just lived in the west too long. 

Sister Cragun hit a curb this week but we popped the bumper back in place mostly... and we went to Aldis this week!!! #greatestplaceever #dontforgetyourquarter

Not a super fun week but hopefully this week will be better! I love you all and I love hearing from some of you! I know that the New Year is a great place to repent and start anew. I know that through Christ we can be forgiven of all our sins and that should be something to rejoice in. 

Lots of Love!

Sister Van Buskirk
