The church is true...still!

My Dearest Family,

Well, Things went pretty well last week. We were able to teach alot of people, but nobody came to church. We've been going to Langston University, in the edge of our area, once a week. There's a bunch of nothing there, but now that school's in, there are a bunch of students there. Its a really secluded University, so when we go there we usually stay most the day and try to talk to and teach as many students as we can. In between classes there is nowhere to go, so they just hang around campus to wait for their next class. So far there isn't anything real promising, but we'll keep working at it and soon enough the entire campus will no about the Mormon Missionaries on campus. We got some great new potential investigators last week too. One guy's name is Rod. He's a fireman and has a couple kids, I think. We went by to see if we could teach, but he was at the fire department, but his wife was home and we spoke with her for a while. Her name is heather...oh, that sounds familiar! Ha!One of the lessons we had wasn't so good. This guy wasn't going to accept anything we told him. My companion asked him a good question because the guy needs so much proof of the Book of Mormon, he said, if their was no proof of a man, Christ, that was crucified, would you beleive in the bible. The guy thought for a moment, and said, no....sign seekers drive me crazy. He says he knows the spirit works in his life and he feels it, but he must have never felt the spirit witness to him of Jesus Christ because he even needs physical proof of that. oh yeah, he's an Elder in the Evangelist church...False Faith. The spirit testifies to me of truth and they don't have it.So, the week was pretty eventfull, but not much progression came of it...yet.A renter in your own home? That seems strange. Is it a student or something? A litte extra income isn't so bad though to fix up those household projects.Hey, thanks for the package! It came a while ago, but because of the flood thing that occured in our appartment we were at a member's home for a while and I didn't find out about it until last week. I had to wait tell today to get it because it was at the post office and the post office is out of my area, so I haven't gotten to check it out yet. Thanks a bunch for all the love and support!

Love ya!-Elder Osness
