A Lot of Teaching

The past week had a lot of teaching as well as two exchanges.  To start off, on Tuesday we got to help Poppy work on her home again by putting up tarps to shield her home from the rain, and then we got to see an new investigator we found last week.  We found that her husband had died earlier in the day, but she was completely at peace with it.  Not only that, she told us that she had read from the Book of Mormon and wanted us to come back to teach her more.  The peace that she had, because of the plan of salvation, was awesome.

On Wednesday, we did more contacting, and then on Thursday we got to go on exchange.  I went with Elder Baker who is one of the zone leaders. We went tracting and managed to find a new investigator, some potentials, as well as accidentally running into several less actives that were not on our area book.  The day was very busy, but we got to teach a lot and share the Light the World video with a bunch of people.  The following day we then had district meeting which was followed up with a second exchange with one of the Spanish Elders who just recently entered the mission.  We once again got to teach a bunch of people and found an investigator who dropped off the radar for a long time.

Finally on Saturday we had a simple lesson about faith with a thirteen year old and his mom, and then ended the exchanges.  We then tried to find some more people and then celebrated the end of the week at a local pizza place.  Then on Sunday we had a good church meeting which was followed up with a very unsuccessful tracting session and then getting to give a priesthood blessing to an investigator who has been going through very rough times.

It has been a very busy week but we have been blessed for it.  I look forward to entering the final week of the transfer and to see what will happen next.  Thanks for reading,
