So this week was interesting. The reason I didnt write on
Monday is because transfers make P-day on Wednesday for some reason.....I didnt
get transfered. I'm still on a bike...Grrrr hate it. I get to keep Elder Southam which is good. So Sunday night me and Elder Strong stayed up too late
talking but the conversation turned into him telling me about all the success
he has had on his mission so far. That really got me thinking about my
investigators. So I woke up on Monday morning and told Elder Southam that we
needed to drop all of our investigators. So we did. They just weren't
Progressing or keeping commitments... so this week we will do some hardcore
finding. It wont be easy but it needs to be done. There was a night last week
when Elder Southam and I didnt have a dinner appointment so we went to a
restaurant and we had just barely sat down when this lady came over and handed
me a 20 dollar bill. So we ate dinner and when the check came this old guy came
up to us and said "Boy's how bout' you hand me them checks." so yeah
thats called faith dining haha so its like we got paid to eat dinner. Ummmmm OH
so we were calling one of our investigators ( to set up a time to drop him) but
his baby sitter answered the phone so we asked if there was anything we could
do for her and she said "you can teach me about your church!" so that
was awesome we went over and taught her and her son and just like that we have
two new investigators. That, to me, was just reassurance that we are doing the
right thing by dropping our investigators so we can focus on finding.
hmmm... oh yesterday my companion got bitten in the face by
a dog. It came over to me and let me pet it but then is spazzed out and tried
to bite me... luckily it was tethered.... so I just jumped back a few feet but
then it walked up to elder Southam (I guess he didnt see what had happened) and
the same thing happened but he got bitten in the face. It drew blood. but he is
okay.... geez that boy is accident prone.
So its owner (who is a member
that we were helping split wood) grabbed it by the nose and yelled at it for
like 12 minutes haha I thought of matt. "I bought you a new toy! AND YOU
DESTROYED IT?!?!" haha good stuff ......good stuff....
How are things? I like it here.
I want more letters..... MORE ummm Matt write me a letter so that I can have your
address..knuckle head. Hmmm Alexa is your baby a boy....hope not think girl
thoughts. How is work parents ... good? I like to make eggs for
breakfast. <---random. Hey Courtney you got my letter? Birthday. yeah that
one WRITE ME BACK. So College friends.... Write letters to me or I'll smite you
with a Rod. hmmmmm How is school for those who go to school? Missionary work
beats home work.
Observation of the week:
Although this doesn't apply to any of you. I have come to the realization that
every area goes through a baptism stage and a finding stage. It took me a whole
transfer to realize that I needed to focus more on finding than trying to
baptize people who weren't progressing. But hey now I know! And I will be
expecting baptisms soon. The field is ripe. #ThrustInThatSickle
