Hello Everyone!
I cannot believe I
will only be sending home 3 more letters after this. SO CRAZY. i cant
believe it!!! XP so surreal. Am i ready to go home? Heck no! But i am
excited to see my wonderful family who i just love oh so much.
Well, this week was great! what even happened.... uhmmmm....
My
area is doing great! We have somehow managed to get a good number of
contacts even though we have been teaching sooo many people! We are
still really working on "filling the pipeline", as President Baird
says. We are working on improving planning because we have a lot going
on so we have to plan very effectively to make everything work. We have
this thing in our apartment called the "lamchi list" which is just a
list of all of the investigators that we have talked with, with their
numbers, and we have been calling everyone every time we get the chance!
That has really been helping us follow up! We are working very hard and
we are trying to be as diligent as possible, working through every yawn
we have haha!
Amanda dropped us! It was
sad honestly because she said we bring her so much peace into her
depressed life. Anyway, on our way out she asked if we could come and do
service for her so we did. Then she asked if we could come next week
and have a mini lesson before and then do service after. She doesn't
want to let go! That must be the spirit. Pray for her!
We
had 6 new investigators! we don't know what to do with all of these
people! We had FIVE in one day! And they are all pretty cool!
Craziness! We are working hard though! Thats a FACT! We are teaching
Juancarlos! He was one of the contacts that we made when we made a ton
one Sunday evening. HE IS SUPER COOL and soooo sincere! He is brand
new so we will see where that goes, but i am excited!
I
went on exchanges with sister Garcia and it was so awesome! She is a
great sister and I really love her. It was fun being with her again :)
During
exchanges we actually had a really cool experience. We ran into a
really old investigator named Argenis that we both used to teach! bHe
used to come to church all the time and he was just really cool! Well,
he kind of disappeared for a really long time and we all just assumed he
moved or got deported or something. Turns out he was still here and he
was even living in the same place! We reconnected with him and invited
him to come to church that Sunday (we saw him on Tuesday night), and he
actually came! God places us in the path of those who are searching! I
know that if we follow the spirit we really will be able to meet those
who need God most in this time in their lives. God is good and I love
Him so much!
I had lots of others things i
wanted to talk about but there just isn't enough time! I hope you all
have a wonderful week! KEEP GOING IN THE BOM CHALLENGE! I just found out
that i forgot to put September 5th on the schedule so you all have an
extra day to catch up if you are behind! Have a wonderful week!
