This week has been a good one. Nothing to absolutely crazy but it was good. We got to go on an exchange with some elders and found a few more potential people. Things are starting to pick up after the long Christmas holiday.
So Tuesday we had District Council and then went off to go and teach a recent convert who had been struggling a bit but now she is doing so much better and we are continuing her follow up lessons. We also went to go contact a referral but she wasn't there but we ended up sharing the restoration with the husband and hopefully we will be able to go back and see him again sometime.
Wednesday we had our exchange and did quite a bit of finding still trying to get as many people in our teaching pool as possible. The work is so much better when you are teaching rather than walking in the sun haha. But we stick it out and also did some contacting and met the daughter of someone we are trying to teach and asked if she would be interested as well but sadly no. Hopefully someday the whole family will accept the gospel!
Thursday we had heaps of tracting and we also had a district blitz in our area and we were able to get 1 or 2 referrals from that so that was good. We also went and had dinner with a family that just moved out of the ward so it was kinda sad seeing them leave. Typically the missionary leaves first but not in this case.
Friday we had weekly planning and also had interviews with President Walker. I love interviews getting to catch up with President Walker is one of the best parts of the transfer. We talked about a lot of stuff and it's so sad that he will be leaving us in the beginning of July. Definitely an amazing person and a spiritual giant! Later that day we tried to contact some people that we planned to teach but they rescheduled and then we went finding again. One couple we did teach though had an amazing experience with the Book of Mormon! We asked the husband to read chapter 4 of 1 Nephi before we come back and he did! But the crazy part is he just kept on reading. And he finally stopped at chapter 12 because he had to go to work. He said it was so interesting and wanted to keep going. We invited them to come to church this next week! Things are looking really really good for them!
Saturday was pretty cool. We went to go help out with a YSA missionary camp out at Henderson stake. That was my first stake out here and I got to see a few members from out there especially one from West Harbour who is preparing to go on his mission soon! Pretty good day. Did some tracting with one of the members I knew so that was cool.
Sunday we had stake conference and that was a really good meeting. The talks were all focused on the area goals and stuff so that was cool. We then did all our studies and did heaps more tracting. It was a pretty good day though.
Overall this week was really cool we saw some miracles with people reading the Book of Mormon and helping them progress. We are seeing things pick up and it's great! I hope you all are enjoying the Winter!
Ofa atu!
