We had interviews with president this week. It was good. It was very good. President told us that he put two clydesdales in an open field so we could start plowing it and...were not doing as he thoguht we would. He kind of chewed us out a little saying that he thought we would have much better results and told us exactly what he wants of us. So we are starting to work. We really started working harder this last week and saw many blessings from it! We started contacting people. Found some old investigators from sister that progressed great but didn't continue and were able to set up appointments with them. It was good. As well we contacted a guy who agreed to let us come by and share with him. So we went and he read all the pamphlet all the definitions and the additional study as well. He was completely prepared to talk about everything and accepted everything we shared. He had no objections and wanted us to come back and share more. It was great! I Loved it!
AS well we are working with a family right now and have tried many times. Many Many Many times to set a baptismal date! They just wouldn't accept. Just kept saying "we will pray and see" so finally we just gave up trying. we just taught them. Then this last week we had a cita with them and had everything planned to share. We got there and for the first time he excitedly told us that he read. So we went over the chapter Alma 32 and asked him what he could do to keep strengthening his Gospel "tree" and explained to him. He turned around and said to his wife. "these guys are smart That is a great example to show with a tree it totally makes sense" Then my companion asked him about baptism. he said you know what. We need to get baptized. we need to keep our trees strong. He chose to be baptized on the 31 of october. =) We were way excited. We still have a few more tings to teach them but they are finally getting somewhere. I was so happy.
This week was good. President really just gave us the wakeup call we needed. and things are turning around.
I wasn't horrible disobedient. But the fact is just wasn't Making my L's look straight like that instead making them a little curved like l that
thats the way president explained it we are trying and will hopefully be seeing the blessings come from being obedient. again i keep all of the big rules no problem. There are tons of things that a missionary just doesn't do. The small ones that don't seem important at times are the ones i have problems with. Going to bed on time. Starting studies on time. (i never sleep in. never have and never will....that one for me is a big one) But things are going to be different this transfer.
