Hello everyone -
So far, this week it feels like the week went by like so fast haha. Everyday is comprised of going around our area talking to people on the street and visiting the member homes in the area. We get to talk to alot of people but not many people are interested, and since it is summer a lot of people are not home, so it is hard to use up our time out here since we don't have any investigators yet. The elders before us didn't leave us much information and we are still trying to pick up where they left off. All the members here are great. Almost all are young families and have moved here recently, so it is a really young ward. This week we tried to meet with this lady that we had a really good discussion with on the street, but we always would show up at the worst times. Hopefully, we will be able to talk to her this week and go from there. We were walking down the street meeting members at their homes when this guy yells at us to come over. He was on his porch dead drunk with a cigarette and a beer in his hand haha. He really wanted to talk with us though, so we sat down with him in his garage. Turns out he is a member of the church and has been inactive for over 20 years. He had actually went on a mission when he was young and knew almost everything about the church. We talked to the Ward mission leader, and he said that they haven't been able to contact him in years. So we were the first to break through that barrier. We will be going over to his house on Thursday for ribs haha. That will be great and maybe we can find out more. We also got to talk to this other inactive guy who hasn't been coming to church because of work. He also went on a mission and is a great guy as well, hopefully we can figure something out for them. I also slipped in while talking to him that we would like to come by some time and maybe have a lesson, so that will be good. We ate at Chipotle this week with a member family for dinner and it was really good. I couldn't finish the whole thing though haha. We are still working hard, but Im not sure if the work will pick up anytime soon. We are just going to try and work with the members as much as we can. That's about all we can do at this point. Miss you guys a ton but I'm in the right place right now. I actually read the entire book of Helamen and 3rd and 4th Nephi yesterday!! I haven't felt the spirit so strong in my entire life. I know I am in the right place and that the spirit is guiding me in all that I do. I hope as I am gone that y'all will increase in faith and continue to study the scriptures and pray. Acting and being diligent is so important in increasing your faith. I promise that you can do the same. Love you guys and see you soon.
