Man we had a tough week, we went from like 9
investigators to 3 in a couple days cause some people dropped us and we dropped
a couple because they weren’t keeping commitments, its the worst when you have
to drop investigators because you know what they need to do and either they
won’t answer the phone or they won’t keep commitments. we had marlaina who was
the really cool girl who moved from Tucson, Arizona,
she has been going through a lot of stuff and told us that she can’t do this right
now. We haven't been able to contact ashley but we went to her door at like
8:30 at night and she peeked through the blinds and texted us and said she had
company over so we text her back and said we can’t keep coming by if you
aren’t going to show up at appointments and she never responded. So its been
pretty rough, cause we really did the best we could with what happened and we
biked a lot this week so finding extra time to tract was harder. With
the BRP thing we are doing where the members
send letters to nonmember and less active friends it has been really hard
to get the members to actually sit down and write their
letters that they commit to write and we keep following up with them
but they still don’t do them and we got a letter from an awesome family the
mcarthurs he is the second counselor in the bishopric and he and his wife are
awesome they have like 5 kids all under 7 years old haha but they are awesome.
sister mcarthur got a us a letter so we are gonna send it off tomorrow. We
have a really awesome lady named MaryAnn
and she is still doing good her health kind of keeps her from doing much
physical stuff but we went over and saw her and gave her a book of mormon
finally and she promised she will read it, we tried to get her to
church yesterday but she really doubts in her health she wants to come but
since she never knows how she is gonna feel the next day she just
says I'll suprise you so we need to get a member over with us to help
give her some confidence and pick her up for church. I really feel if she comes to church that she
will want to be baptized for sure, haha she told us that her daughter found out
that we were coming over and her daughter got mad at her and anti-d her but she
said i don’t care what you think, I know this is what want to do and I am
going to listen to them so that was cool to hear. We also last sunday went to
go see a member and apparently the address was wrong but the door we knocked on
opened and the guy invited us back and so we took a young man with us who is preparing
to go on his mission and he took us out to see this guy again his name is
brandon and we taught brandon and gave him a reading assignment and so our next
appointment we went back with john who is the young man and brandon said he
and his girlfreind who he lives with read the assigned chapter and also
read 6 other random chapters and he kept telling us about other stuff and
we were like wait how do you know that cause that was not in the chapter we
assigned, so that was really sweet to find out they just liked what they were
reading so they decided to read more they are pretty cool an hopefully
they have read more when we go back on wednesday.
I was talking to elder law and found out that wanda is
going through the temple soon we don’t know when yet but she will be going
before he goes home so I’m excited to go do that with her and she
moved out of her smelly trailer and into the country somewhere but still in the
boiling springs ward boundaries and I also found out the georrianna who i baptized here moved out of boiling springs
and she is now in Gilbert, SC which is the area that elder seaver is serving in
right now think she is living with her parents.
well super SAD to here about the coyotes mannnnn!! i
was really hoping they would win this year, man its always someone
who cheap shots our teams the spurs, red wings and now the kings.
well thats all the time I have this week so I hope you
guys have a great week and yeah dad you keep buying the elders lunch, I would do the same if i was back home.
Love Elder Harper :)
