Ninja Moves, Stinky House, & New Investigators

I really have learned to love so many people out here in NY but about 80% of all the houses we go in stink so bad like dogs and cats and smoke. My suits are still nice but are going to have a permanent stench to them when I return. My shoes are still doing good. We were tracting the other day and it has been really wet and cold lately and all the leaves on the ground make things slippery... so as I had just come off some steps, I took a step or two and almost fell on my back cuz of this mossy slick stuff (there is moss everywhere cuz it's so dang moist out here) but lucky I'm a Ninja and have good reflexes and caught my self before I ruined my suit. This last week was a really good week. We had 2 investigators at church, we found 3 new investigators, and taught 20 lessons which has been hard to do in this area because of the small teaching pool. But now that our teaching pool is growing we should be able to reach 20 much easier. The Lord really blesses you when you are diligent in trying to follow his commandments and the "mission rules." Some days I don't even want to get out of bed I'm so tired but I know that when I just do it and start putting one foot in front of the other it will work out. I have to read Matt 11:28-30 so often cuz if I don't I wouldn't make it out here some days.
