hey
all,
this week has been quite the amazing week (even if most of it was tracting...)
we had a whole bunch of neat experiences and put a few miles on our shoes.
A few things about our area. It is centered around Galax Virginia
(pronounced Gae-lax) and covers a fair bit of land. it is a more rural
area and we count it as basically a walking area as our miles only go so far...
it doesn't help that they left us with about 400-ish miles and we are not
even half way through the month.
my
new comp is Elder larson. he has been out four months and it is an
interesting relationship. he has just finished training and is kind of a
pharisee when it comes to the rules. he is a nice guy however and is easy
to get along with.
and
now for the other part of the title 12 NEW INVESTIGATORS! this week we did do a
lot of walking and we saw miracles from it as we picked up 3 families and a
couple of single individuals (one family speaks Spanish though so it is
kind of hard for me) Anyway as we were tracting the other day we knocked
on a door and a man answered and asked us how we were and what we wanted.
after stumbling through a door approach I asked of it was something he
and his family would be interested in and he nodded and asked us to come in
where we met his wife Kirsten (or something to that effect) and her dad Donald
(called duggie, or duckie I can't remember exactly) and as we talked with
Andrew and his family they seemed interested and we shared a thirty minute
lesson with them. a day later we were looking for a less active member
and had the general area of her residence and felt prompted to stop and ask for
directions at a house. (keep in mind that it was dumping buckets on us at
the time.) and a nice mexican family answered the door. Pres. Nielson,
the member who was with us spoke to them in spanish and quickly got us
directions, though at that point it had started to rain fairly hard so they
invited us in, as we talked they invited us to share our message and we
did, opening with a word of prayer. Pres. Nielson served as our
translator and we had a great lesson.
see
y'all next week
