We’ve had an awesome week this week, so hopefully we’ll have an even better week by working with the people we met with this week.
Starting with this past Tuesday, we set a goal to pick up a family as investigators during weekly planning. After planning we set out to work and the following happened: “We were headed towards the apartment of a potential investigator, but we saw a guy we all felt impressed to OYM to. We taught him the Plan of Salvation, set up a return appointment, gave us his address and phone number, when to our utmost surprise, it matched perfectly to the potential we had determined to visit. That potential was his wife! Later he called us back to let us know that he checked with his wife and they wanted to move the appointment so they can both be present for the lesson.”
Wednesday, we had a packed day with doing MyPlan and Elder Clark had a chiropractor appointment. Afterwards, we had a super awesome day filled with a lot of finding activities even though we didn’t see many results.
Thursday, we helped a family in the ward move out of their house. After that, we had an awesome district meeting about being out among the people (walking and biking) to find people to teach. After KnockOut, we had an appointment with the person described above followed by a quick dinner at a members house followed by another lesson with some of our investigators.
Friday, we were going to have a pass-off lesson with our zone leaders, but the lesson got cancelled last minute. So, we did some hard-core planning for an upcoming Variety/Talent Show we want to put on with the ward. After that, we went to work and found a new investigator through visiting part members.
Saturday, we did a lot of service for some investigators and members in our ward. It was so nice to be able to help people out and put a smile on their face.
Sunday, we had missionary coordination meeting and ward council before Church. We had some great talks and lessons on the family and how the modern church is organized the same way as the primitive church.
