I'm seeing more and more decorations here.  (Oh btw, Alabama won, yet people are like: psh I knew that was going to happen.  People are so prideful here)  One time Elder LaCour and I were tracting this one apartment complex.  I saw through a window that there was a bloody hand reaching through the blinds and I said "woah dude watch out!"  I saw Elder Lacour jump like 5 feet cuz he thought there was going to be a spider or something.  haha he was so mad.

  As far as finding new investigators, this week was not that eventful.  Most people focused on preparing for the game.  Last saturday was crazy.  People everywhere.  You'd feel like a fish swimming upstream.  I could not ride my bike that far without getting off and walking.  We really couldn't do any work.  We could have talked to people and gave them cards, but they most likely would have thrown them away.  So for the most part we were in our home, with the other missionaries in our area: Elder Osiemo (OCMO) and Elder Peters.

  We have been biking and walking alot this past week.  I became really exhausted.  It feels like my heels are no longer on my feet anymore.  The past couple weeks I wake up tired, feeling like sleep has not done that much to regain strength.  So one night I had a deep personal prayer, wishing to have the strength to gain my heels back.  I think this was friday night.  The next day it almost felt like a miracle.  Every muscle in my body felt like they got restored or something.  Personal prayer can be powerful.

  This week we will plan on tracting more. But for the most part try and contact the people we already visited that looks interested.  We do have quite a few.

Have a good week!

I have a lot of "favorite scriptures" but I guess the one I like a lot is 2 Corinthians 7: 10-11. (Godly sorrow vs. worldly sorrow).

blessings,

Elder Jacob Miklich
