Missionary Work

November 12, 2013

Hello Everyone! (A day late due to the holiday and the library being closed)

    This week Elder Rodriguez has been away on his assignment of traveling from companionship to companionship in multiple zones and training them on becoming Master Teachers. So Elder Kharazi and I have been living it up in the Two Rivers Ward and Cascade Branch. 

This past week I did have to take a missionary to Helena and pick one up there for a mid transfer adjustment but other then that we worked hard this week! We have been doing a lot of tracting and service tracting to find new investigators. We now have many quality potentials because of that and look forward to following up and hopefully getting some new investigators. We taught a lot of lessons this week which was really good and hope to teach many more this week.
    

David, the guy we met 2 weeks ago and taught and he seemed so golden... Well he dropped us this week which was a total bummer. 

We taught Earl twice this week who is a recent convert's husband and he came to church for all three hours. We invited him to be baptized and he said "Not going to commit to anything right now, want to simply learn" so we have been praying and thinking a lot about how we can help Earl progress to the waters of baptism. 

We have not had a baptism in this area for 2 months now and so we are really striving and putting our faith into finding the prepared and meeting our goal of 2 baptisms this month. We have many we feel can be baptized this month, just have to teach them in the Lord's way and trust in Him.
      

I mentioned service tracting... Well some may not realize what that is. We go out with rakes and offer to rake peoples leaves. It is awesome, it takes down barriers when people and the community see the Mormon missionaries out serving people. 

So I have some pictures attached of when we were having some fun in the leaves we had raked and also some pics of the first snow that happened a couple weeks ago. Oh and a picture of me and Elder Kharazi.
   

I have been pretty sick with the a flu bug since Saturday, hopefully I will get over that soon, its no fun having to sit out on the Lord's work. I love being a missionary. Thank you for all your love and support, it means the world to me! 

Love all of you!
