This week was a bit different than usual, we found a lot of success, although our numbers were down, and we definitely had our ups and downs. We had another lesson with our newest investigator, but we were interrupted by the lady he is living with. Holy cow there is a lot of tension there! The spirit left super quick, and we were not far behind! We basically established our purpose with them and arranged to teach them separately. We were not able to meet with him again this week, but I'm not too worried. He loves daily contact and is always super grateful to see us!
We went to Staunton on exchanges after district meeting on Tuesday, and had a successful exchange! Elder Burdette and I found a really cool new investigator for them just before the exchange ended!
Questions of the Soul are bomb! Some of them are found in chapter 5 of Preach My Gospel, and they work so well for finding! Everyone has some kind of deep soul-searching question that they haven't found answers to yet, and the book of Mormon answers many, if not all of them! We were also able to use that in our efforts in our own area, and tracting never feels better than when you are well prepared, have the spirit, and are optimistic!
We have also been working with the members more, starting family mission plans, offering our help with anything they need, and helping them see the endless possibilities and the great blessings that come from doing missionary work!
We went out to Nelson County (the boons) on Saturday with a member after helping unload the bishop's storehouse order, and got in contact with a recent convert and some other members who we are not usually able to visit. I have attached pictures of that as well.
All the bad news happened on Sunday of all days. Neither of the investigators that we were really counting on to come to church came! We also received news that our investigator who is closest to baptism will be moving out of the mission! That was tough to hear, but we will just try to help the transition from us to his new missionaries go smoothly.
To end on a good note though, we have zone conference tomorrow, where we will receive smart phones with a data plan! We will also have the Zone Leaders blitzing our area afterwards! Best of luck this week!
