blessings of diligence

Hey all,

this week was great.  we had so many great things happen and we were able to see many blessings from parking the car and walking to places that are close.

Tuesday: we got in to see mike! we had a good lesson on faith and read Alma 32 with him, he asked a lot of good questions and we were able to help him progress a little bit further on the path.  on the way back from that appointment a woman asked us if we were selling something (which was a first for me, usually it is GO AWAY JEHOVA"S WITNESS) we told her no and ended up taking for a good few minutes and set up an appointment for this week.

Wednesday:  not much eventful happened and we ended up going to help get a couch for an active member that we ended up taking out after an hour because it had cat hair all over it and she was allergic....... so yeah.

thursday, we went out to ravenswood and were able to catch a few people before going to see Jeremy and Ashley, a part member couple, and reading the book of mormon with them.  it ended really well and he has really started to open up.

Friday: Zone meeting and Exchanges.  An interesting thing happened this week though, we didn't have to resort to tracting! it was awesome.  

Saturday: slow day nothing much happened...... sorry

Weather update: We are currently getting snow .........................

see y'all next week

Hey all,

another shortie this time because I have been down with something for the past six days and so not much got done.  I will endeavor to give you some highlights though.

Wednesday: we went into ravenswood to watch the Missionary broadcast at the church and it was a very good broadcast.  there were some good discussions on baptizing converts and teaching repentance.  

friday: we had Zone meeting and the discussion was focused on the missionary broadcast.  then I went up to spencer and we had a couple of good lessons and were able to talk with some of the people that we had planned and didn't need to go tracting, so that was good.  

other than that it was attempting to see people and only getting things set up for this week.

See y'all next week

info needed any replies would be welcome

hey all,

this week i'm going to try something different as there have been requests for a day to day breakdown of what happens around here.  I will do so, just to prove that I am not leaving out any information that would let you know how I am doing.

Tuesday: the town was still recovering from labor day weekend so most people (OK, every person) we went to see wasn't home we went over to a recent convert's house and did some service later in the evening,  (she reminds me a lot of myself, for reasons you will soon see) this started out as shoveling some dirt to make a flat area to put her pool on, and ended up with us expanding her dog pen..... (see what I mean?)

Wednesday: we had a great time out in the far reaches of our area trying (and failing) to see some of our farther out investigators, however we were able to catch one before he left for a fishing trip to D.C.  

Thursday: we went to try and catch some people and actually succeeded in seeing a few.  we taught a couple of review restorations, before heading out to a member's house to teach a part member family ( incidentally the one that we did service for earlier in the week)

Friday: we had Zone meeting and an oil change which took up most of the day.  we were able to see one or two people but that is about it.

Saturday: I had an impression to go and see one of our hard to catch investigators, and we did, and we caught him.  it was awesome, because he is working one job at three locals, going where they want him to go.

Sunday was stake conference. we had to get up at 5 and leave at six thirty to make it to a meeting at eight thirty.  then we had to sit on the hard chairs (not a recommended procedure if you are sore from working your butt off) for two hours.  The talks were good and we were all about famiry hishtory! ..... Not very helpful to me, owing to the fact that I am still bashing my brains against a brick wall doing mine... But all in all it was a good week.

and now for an explanation of the title: we have been getting some not so subtle hints that we might be getting I-pads in the near future.... anyone got an answer to that?  

anyway, see y'all next week
