Finding and Teaching

Hello everyone, this past week has been a great week for finding new investigators as well as teaching.  To start off, on Monday we had three back to back lessons where we got to teach our next door neighbor who just recently moved in, as well as Dan who is on date, and a new young family.  All the lessons were nice and they went really well.  What we focused teaching people was "the why", which means eternal life.  It helped many people see why we ask them to do so much, as well as why we keep coming over.

On Tuesday we helped Poppy de-mold her home again and learn that she might move this year to avoid having to continue to repair her home.  We then taught the complete restoration lesson to an older lady and did a lot of Tracting and visiting formers.  Wednesday was more of the same.  Thursday we got to do the new kind of exchanges that Salt Lake has ordered, where all four of the missionaries on exchange come to the leaders area for the day and night.  The Elders that came over were the Spanish missionaries named Elder Ellis and Elder Elldredge.  One of us focused on Tracting Oakridge while the other did Westfir.  Because of it we found several new investigators, taught a bunch of lessons, and had a fun night at the apartment.

Friday I taught another district meeting and met with a less active couple, and Saturday was a regular day.  Finally, after two weeks of canceling, on Sunday we got to go to church again which was nice.  The final notable event that happened was a dinner appointment with a member who fed us his rabbits he killed the day before because they annoyed him.

Thanks for reading and for all of the support, and Elder Cluff says "Hi,"

We built "Frosty" last week.  He is Elder Cluff's first snowman.
