the work goes on rain, snow, sleet, or hail! (though right now it is mostly just snow and rain)

Hey all,

this week has been an amazing one.  first off though I would like to thank everyone for the Christmas cards and the support that they bring.

ON TO THE WEEK!

Tuesday: we had a lesson with Nikki's husband Jason and that went really well.  we spent about a half an hour with him talking about the church in former times compared with the church in the present, working in the points of the restoration along the way.  then we went and tried a potential that we had knocked into about three weeks ago.  we were let in and actually were able to pick up two new invextigators from the effort.  

Wednesday: was an exchange with the zone leaders.  It was an amazing experience and we helped them pick up a few new investigators as well.  

Thursday: Zone Conference, we had an amazing meeting and discussed the power of repentance before getting the mission christmas present of watching on the lord's errand  the biography of Thomas S. Monson.  we then proceeded back to our area and had a meeting with a few other people, and then knocked some more.

Friday: we had dinner and a lesson with Nikki and also were able to go and try to see a few other potentials.  

Saturday we spent the day in Kitzmillerville, MD and tracted our hearts out.  met a few people and had a good time.

Once again thanks for all of the cards and I hope to see you all by the middle of next year!

See y'all next week

a random thought and a weekly update

hey all,  

  so I was thinking last night as I lay awake in-between position  change number 70 and 80 last night and had this thought: Rita Skeeter was super lucky that Krum was being gentle when he pulled her out of Hermione's hair, because he totally could have just squashed Rita and saved the whole wizarding world a lot of trouble...... random thought over

now for an update.

Tuesday: we went out to Kitzemiller and taught and older couple that are really nice.  we also were able to see a few people in the area and were able to ask referrals and got a few.

Wednesday: we went out to Terra Alta, WV and were able to see the Motes, a couple who have been investigating for a few months and are very hard to catch.  we had a good lesson on the Resurrection and got a referral from them for a friend that they have in Oakland.  

Thursday: we had Zone Meeting *cough cough*(murder) that ended up going about an forty-five minutes over and then we had to wait another thirty to forty five minutes while everything else got sorted so we ended up leaving a meeting that ended at twelve at one and didn't get back to the apartment for lunch until about 3:30-4 o'clock and that meant that we were extremely hungry.  we had a lesson with the niece of a recent convert and were able to teach with little to no interference from the childern that are usually causing chaos in the house.

Friday: we had a lesson with one of our most promising investigators and it went really well.  we were able to teach with two members there and went into some really great discussion.  we also contacted a the referral that we got from the Motes. she was really interested, which was cool.

Saturday: basic day of service that involved benches and paint.  we had a great time and were able to get out of the whites and into some normal clothes.  we had a lesson with our recent convert and were able to have a lesson with her son as well.

that's all folks, see y'all next week,
