We are so happy that our two good friends were baptized, but this also means to of our best investigators have become recent converts that and both of our other investigators couldn't meet this week. So what does that mean? Finding! And lots of it! But really, tons of finding activities this week. I think this is the most concentrated finding I've done in a really long time. But, it went way better than I expected it to. We came up with a lot of different ways so we wouldn't get bored or too tired. It went better than expected because it was fun, but also not as well as hoped(for the first half of the week anyway) because no one was interested in learning more about the gospel. By the end of the week, the numbers of lessons we had were still in the single digits. I had just about resigned myself to the idea, that we just weren't going to really have any lessons with people for the week, but we didn't give up! We kept the fire going! And lo and behold, the miracles came. By Saturday night, we had a full day of lessons set up for Sunday. And the biggest miracle is all of them actually happened! Not a single no-show and they were all great. I don't know if all of them will become progressing investigators, but all the lessons we had were guided by the spirit and helped to to more fully understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. I say a success.
What have I learned from this experience? When times get tough and you feel like there is no winning, go just a little bit further and put in just a bit more effort, and after the trial of faith and our faith is turned into action, the Lord is prepared to shower us with blessings.
Just Do It. Haha.
Other than this amazing stuff, we were also able to do some service this week for a member who went out of town. We went to her home and fed her cat and played with him for a little while (at her request) so he doesn't get too antsy. It was fun. I love animals. :)
