We had a good week. A week for building faith, but a good week. We decided that we need to do more, we need to find new people, we need to stop teaching these people who aren't progressing. So we set out with good plans. We decided to stop focusing so much on people who were always busy and we were going to go find new people. We talked to everyone... Everyone I swear! Door to Door, people on the streets! Everyone! Man ... times have changed...people really don't care. But God is preparing and we had some success talking to people. We decided to find New Less Actives to teach.. yep they are all dead or gone. But God is preparing... In the end... we looked at the numbers and it was a little sad to see how we probably had the worst numbers. But I know that God is preparing. My point to all this is God comes in his own time. I think I had to learn this lesson this week that Faith sometimes takes a little bit of trials. But I feel like I have never worked this hard. Also I look back and think, God really is working with us. I looked back, we had our Less Actives starting to come to church... they missed sadly but that is just a funny story because why, but they really were like at the gates! The guard wouldn't let them in and they got in a fight with him... haha Also another one woke up late and went to another ward! So that was good. We found new investigators and opend up our teaching pool some more. We saw the Ward who seemed to be uninterested in helping us now giving us an hour after church to coordinate with us and help us. This truly was a good week and I am excited for next week. This church is true and this work is important. It takes time and patience and really in its not easy. But we all need to do our part. I am happy to be a missionary and this year is off to a good start!
