Most of our work out
here has really been looking for part member families and less actives.
We actually found a few of them when we got challenged to a basketball
game. The court we were playing on was nothing more than a piece of
metal on a tree. They all challenged us to game and we told them that if
we won, we could come back and teach a little bit. After playing for a
while, we learned that most of them (the adults) were actually baptized.
But, they are all inactive. Our goal is to get back to them this week
and teach them.
This week, we taught our most progressing
investigator. She was taught by the sisters for a few weeks before
Elders were put back into this area. But, we taught her a lesson on the
Plan of Salvation. She realized that she really wanted to do this with
her family. We tried to stress that because her husband has never been
interested. So, hopefully this next week, we will be able to teach both
of them with their 2 kids.
We did a couple of CSP's
(community service projects) with our branch. It was a good way to work
with some of the members and try to gain their trust. We spent a good
part of the day tearing down election posters and then cleaning up the
beach.
Me and my comp play a lot of basketball in proselyting
clothes as a way to start talking to people. We really don't have a lot
of investigators and we spend a lot of time finding every day. It is
sometimes hard to find motivation because we sweat all day and rarely
see a lot of lessons. But, it is good. God definitely prepares the
hearts of people to hear the gospel in their own time. Our job is to
simply find those that are prepared. The gospel is true and we are all a
part of the most important work that is happening in the world today.
Keep it up!!
