Week 72

Kia Ora!!

This week was a hot one for sure. We spent a lot of time out on the streets knocking those doors trying to find people to teach. We were able to find a few people to follow up with and that was good we hope to be teaching them soon.

Monday we team ups with President Walker and that was really good. We had 2 hours of door knocking with him and had some pretty good conversations with him and with other people so that was great!

Tuesday we had District Council and set some goals for the month of February it was good to see that there was big improvements not only in the district but in the whole zone in finding new people to teach and we hope to see that continue into people coming to Sacrament and getting baptized! We did some door knocking and got into a house and taught a man named Shaquille and hope to see him again.

Wednesday we had ZLC and set more goals but this time for the Zone and like I mentioned our zone took a huge step forward in the month of January we had a goal of finding 60 new people as a zone and found 75 so that was great. We Councilled on how to continue to improve and so on and it was great. We than started an exchange with some elders and I was in a trio for the day with Elder Morrill and Elder O'Halloran. We spent quite a bit of time doing some finding and just did some talking it was great.

Thursday we ended the exchange and Elder Yardley and I got back to it. We tried to visit some people and didn't have much luck. Even the set lesson we had planned for that night was canceled so things didn't quite end up the way we wanted but it's all good.

Friday we had weekly planning and started the day with a bit more finding. That has definitely been the theme of this area, knock knock knock haha. I feel like I've done more in this area than any of the others. We tried to visit some of the people that said we could come back and we didn't end up meeting with them or they were too busy at the moment. We did have a lesson with a part member family that night though and taught the whole family part of the Restoration and we hope to get the man of the house baptized in a few weeks if all goes to plan haha. He is a really good guy who wants the best for their small family. We will be seeing them on Tuesday and finishing the lesson with them.

Saturday we had heaps of door knocking and man it felt extra hot that day haha but we went out and had two really good conversations with some people and got to know them a bit and share a little with them. None of them wanted us back but it was good to get to share a little bit with them and plant those seeds. We had a rally nice Thai dinner with the stake president and his family and talked about how members can improve in doing missionary work and help us so that was good.

Sunday we had some time to go and do some door knocking and we visited a few members sharing some short messages with then trying to help the kids learn and stuff so that was fun. Nothing too crazy that day.

This week was good. We had so much time out on the streets but it was really good. It's weeks like this that make you feel like you are living the old missionary life of knocking all day everyday haha it was good. Hope you all had a great week!
