Well this week was awesome! Still pretty hot and humid, but hey thats the south!
So we don't really have a ton of new investigators this week but we have a few potential investigators. Because since we don't have a ton of investigators we decided we're just gonna work until we drop! So what we do is plan a whole bunch of members to see and we knock around them until we teach someone. Then we keep moving!
I also decided that we're going to get our church in the newspaper like every other church does. A newspaper goes to every resident in hartsville on tuesday and they might as well have one good ad in there. Just kidding theres other good ads in there, like the taco bell one! Also I'm thinking about setting up a big get together at the church where people will invite their friends to play games and have food, i'll possibly just do it on july 24th so that i can celebrate pioneer day too!
I just feel like i got a jump start! Because as i've explained the last few weeks haven't been the easiest weeks of my mission. Things started out slow because the agency of others chose not to accept the gospel, when that happened it affected my agency and my efforts. I have a bit of regret for not working my hardest the past little while, but i've repented for it and have told myself that I WILL do it. Because my faith doesn't rely on the agency of others. I've decided that I'm going to work really hard and I'm going to have fun doing it. Because i chose to do this, so i'm going to have fun with it!
I'm really gonna have to start writing down notes for the week when something exciting happens and bring it to the computer with me. Because i feel bad when i sit down start typing and go, duhhhhhh.... yup can't remember what happened. I just remember hot and humid and doors, lots and lots of doors.
Well there is a family that i may have mentioned before. There name is the Johnsons and they are a referral from a member. Well I've met the father a couple times, but they like going on a lot of vacations during the summer so they're really hard to catch. Well a little while ago we were at the members house and he said, I saw the Johnsons the other day and they're interested. I just kind of accepted it and was like "that great!" But then the member said, "no, they're Really interested." Then i started getting really excited! So i called the Johnsons and... they're on a vacation.... But we'll get them eventually!
It's pretty crazy but when i write y'all next time i'll get to report about transfers! Yup another six weeks has gone by. So I'll let you know if i'm staying or going next week.
Love ya!
