Week 71

Kia Ora!

This week was good. We did quite a bit or finding and a few exchanges with some really good Elders made for a good week. It's really starting to heat up here in New Zealand and man does the ocean look tempting haha

Tuesday we had District Council and we received a pretty good training on helping people keep commitments. That is definitely one of the hardest things to do on the mission. People just don't want to do what we ask haha but we will make things work some how haha. We had quite a bit of time to do some tracting as well. Tried contacting some people but still kinda struggling to meet them when they are at home.

Wednesday morning we did some family History stuff and started our exchange with the missionaries that serve in the Samoan ward. They are both really good Elders and I went with Elder Roberts from Utah. I've been with a lot from Utah lately haha. We did heaps of tracting and had so many rude people that day but oh well it happens haha.

Thursday we ended our exchange with them and started another with some elders serving more south of us In Favona ward. I went with Elder Lee and he is from Hamilton. We did some more finding and trying to contact some people so that was good. No luck that day but it was good serving with a great Elder. We had dinner with a couple we are trying to teach and they have some concerns with the Book of Mormon and we were able to discuss a few things with them while eating so that was good. We set up a time to teach them about the restoration and hopefully that will really lick things off with them! They are a really nice couple from South Africa and I really want to see them accept the Gospel!

Friday we ended the exchange with some more finding and drove the Elders back to their area and did some weekly planning. Not too much happened on that day so I'll just carry on haha

Saturday we had the whole day pretty much just finding. It was really hot and no one was home but overall things were good. We made it through a difficult day and hope to see blessings from it in the future! We did have a unexpected little lesson with a guy that morning though and that was good. Progress with him will be very slow though as he only wants to meet once every other week haha we will try to get things to move quicker with him.

Sunday was pretty typical. Nothing too crazy went down. We had a couple say they would come to church but didn't so that was sad but we hope to see them come soon. We spent some more time doing some door knocking so that was cool. It's been really hot lately and makes finding a bit more hard but we push along haha

This week has been pretty good we've seen some pretty cool miracles. Hope you all had a great week as well! Love you all!
