Missionary Emails

Back to Biking

Not much to report this week. We kind of got wrecked all week. Nobody was responding to us or keeping their appointments. We were able to have a couple good lessons though.

     

We found this guy named Leroy who we didn't think was that solid, but we gave him a Book of Mormon and invited him to read it. Then this week we went by and he had read it like we had asked. We ended up teaching him the whole restoration and he understood it. He could be pretty solid if he keeps reading.

     

We also found a few new people this week, but they are new so we don't know really how interested they are. They seem solid from what we've seen though.

     

Hopefully this week we will have more lessons and see some progression from the people we teach. It's just been kind of slow recently. The recent converts, Mark and the Smith family, are doing super well. Things are good in general here, just not too much stuff that is interesting enough to write down. 

     

Anyway, hopefully this week I will have some crazy stories to share. I'm going to be on bike this week for my first time in six months, so that will be interesting for sure.

Happy Tuesday

Hey guys, our p-day got moved to Tuesday for the next three weeks, hence the Tuesday email. Yesterday felt really off because it was a totally normal work day on our day off. This last week was good. We had a few good lessons and we had zone conference. It was actually pretty fun biking as well. 

We had a really good lesson with Leroy this week! He has been reading the Book of Mormon and understands the things we taught him about the plan of salvation. We are having a member come to this week's lesson, so it should be good. 

We also taught Karen and Ethan. They have met with missionaries a lot in the past, but never really progressed. They like going real deep with things and skipping the basics. I told them you have to build the base before you put the roof on the house, meaning you need the basic building blocks first. Then she said she wants the roof first in case it rains. Smh. We ended the lesson with her starting to understand why the Book of Mormon is so important though. She committed to read and pray about it. So that was good at least. Lessons with them will be interesting. 

We had zone conference this week as well. That's always good. I had a lot of takeaways from it. We have some high goals as a mission that they brought forth to us. Hopefully we can accomplish them. 

We've also been biking this week. It'll be good. Our area is huge too. My legs boutta get huge. I'm excited. It's an average of a thirty minute bike ride to every appointment. It's been fun. 

Anyway, that's it for me. I'll catch you all next Tuesday.
