A week of not so good luck

Well...we don't really have any investigators anymore. They all moved away. That actually is almost a true statement. You see, one person we found out wasn't in our area, so technically they didn't really move away. Ah man! It's painful! We don't really have anyone to teach anymore! Aargh! Well, this week was pretty goofy. Elder Murray and I are pretty goofy together. We should probably work on being more dignified, but we're mostly just goofy around the apartment and in the car. We are kinda like brothers, so we get along very well at times and then we get in some tussles as well, but they usually are goofy tussles anyway. Oh well, we'll work on it.

We're having a hard time with this Ward. We can tell the bishop doesn't really like us that much as well as our Ward mission leader. Considering this Ward hasn't baptized in over a year and the last person it baptized now avoids the church like a plague, I can see why there isn't much trust. We're trying the best we can to work better with the members and establish that trust again, but I feel like that trust will come when we baptize, but we have a hard time baptizing when we don't have great member support. Oh well, we'll figure it out.

We had zone meeting this week, and that was mostly good. The new senior couple, the Sagers,

gave a really good training on the doctrine and gospel of Jesus Christ and how any question an investigator or less active member asks can be answered by one of the principles of the doctrine of Christ. It was really good. They are good teachers. I played "Ye Elders of Israel" for a special musical number and that turned out well. The only part that kinda bugged me was the Guilford Sisters training and zoned in on obedience, and though they didn't say it, they basically targeted me. Not that I'm a disobedient missionary, they basically just don't like how I played James Bond [on the piano] in the church on P-Day. I didn't know that that was against the rules but I guess I do now. Oh well, they are good missionaries and maybe it's an indication to me that I need to look for more ways to be more obedient.

We gave a church tour this week! It went really well! We took Steve and his girlfriend Dana to

the church and gave them a tour! They were really interested! Then we went by their place two days later and they told us they are moving! Yay! Just as they were really moving forward! Yay! They don't know exactly when they are moving so hopefully we'll be able to get them to church before they go!😐 Other than having no one to teach, things are going pretty well. I'm excited to go and find new people to teach, we just have to find the right place to knock. We also have a new tool to find people this Easter season. #Hallelujah!  I love the church holiday initiatives and the times of year. People really love Jesus down here so hopefully we'll be able to share the video with a lot of people and baptize someone because of it! Only time will tell. Onward and Upward! Love y'all! Have a splendiferous week!
