Meetings

Hey everyone, I hope that you are doing well.  Overall, this week had a lot of service and contacting.  The first three days were pretty normal, with us doing service at Saint Vincet Depaul's, helping serve homeless people.  We then got to talk to several less active members, help an investigator from another ward move, and talk to the excommunicated member again. We also got to teach Taylie, the girl who is currently on a baptismal date.  We taught her the Plan of Salvation and got to make a fun puzzle of the plan as a teaching aid.   Beyond that, honestly, these three days were pretty hard to remember and blurred together.

On Friday we got to do a zone training meeting.  The meeting was good, we learned new pointers in how to effectively plan, and several other good things.  On Saturday we got to talk to a bible basher who was definitely not ready to hear the Gospel at this time, and do Stake Conference.  We were invited to attend the leadership session about missionary work, adult session, and the main session in the morning.  They were good meetings and we were able to feel the Spirit strongly.  Finally, we also spent a bit of time helping an investigator out with some personal challenges he has, which resulted in him taking us out to an all you can eat Chinese buffet today.

Overall, the past week blurred by and the time has been going fast.  Hopefully the next week we will be able to meet with more people and teach more lessons.

Thanks for reading,

One thing I forgot to mention is that we got to talk to people at a city wide garage sell on Friday.  There were hundreds of people, but no one was interested in listening to us.
