This week we were able to teach a lot of
people, but we’re starting to see the same people over and over again. A lot of
the same less actives every week. We’re working with some 15+ less actives and
we’re starting to see a lot of them on a regular basis. Which I good, but at
the same time can be boring. But we’re excited to be seeing them and hoping
that we can bring one of them back to church! We have been trying hard to
get the Fullmer’s back. That one has been a little difficult! But we are still
trying hard. Once her husband leaves then we will really put an emphasis on
getting to church. He will be leaving later this week.
We have also been having another less active,
that was having ride problems, come to church each week, now that we have her a
ride each week! So we are working on getting her to the temple now! So that's
exciting! We also picked up a new investigator this week, we will see how long
that last. She lives in the housing projects and seems like it could go
somewhere, but I have never had anyone in the projects progress any further
than like 3 lessons. But we shall see! We also stopped by a less active whose boyfriend
was taking the lessons and got over whelmed by some very excited missionaries,
and we were able to stop by and see her and we played very oblivious to the
situation. She was very nice and we set up an appointment with her and her
sister in law, who is not a member either! So that is very exciting!
haha So to answer your questions. Transfers are next week, on the 5th I
believe. Transfer calls are this week on Saturday. The biggest struggle about
this area has been just trying to find people that are solid to teach. We can
teach lessons all day, but no one would progress to baptism. So finding those
who are ready to be baptized is really difficult… The biggest success is how
much the members are willing to help and how much work there is to do with less
actives! We have 20+ less actives that we know about that would let us teach
them but they flake appointments. But being able to have that many people to
try and teach is wonderful! haha Although it may not be baptism numbers it is
still doing missionary work! That's pretty much our week! I hope all is well
back home! haha love you!
