4.21.14

So, this week was kind of terrible (in terms of results). We worked hard on finding a bunch of people and inviting them to church, but by the end of the week, nobody who we wanted to see at church showed up. This is the first area where the people have just not gone to church at all. A couple of less active members went, and we had a ward baptism (which was awesome), but out of the 16 investigators that we met this week, nobody went. People are fine with talking to us and they love having us in their house, but for some reason, attending church is the last thing they want to do. It’s not like they have excuses... all of them have like 3 cars to use and they have enough gas money to make the short drive. People here also think that because I love playing with little kids that they can just leave their insane children in our hands during Sacrament meeting… so I just didn't have a good Sunday. We did, however, have a meeting with our bishop and have a huge plan on how we're going to bring the gospel to every family. We have to get to know every person in our area and write their information on a massive map. It’s pretty cool and we're supposed to be receiving help with it so, we'll see.  They changed the rules to where we have to be in our proselyting clothes all day on P-Day. Which means if you're going to play a sport, you have to bring your clothes, change and then change back when you're drenched in sweat which makes it a punishment to do the thing I love… so yeah... I haven’t been able to play soccer for a while and that sucks. But I feel like things will start getting better. I just want to start seeing results or at least understand why we aren't. Hope Easter was fun, we watched a talk from Holland about Easter and it was awesome.
