Well this past week was kinda rough. we didnt teach any non-members until sunday night. but that whole week i was thinking if i want to baptized 1 more person i have to find them this week! i was praying really hard for the opportunity to help 1 more person and we put our heads down. there was adversity because we had meeting and service that people called us to do and i cant turn down LA members who need service. So some days it didnt feel like we got a lot accomplished. But i have faith that the no matter how much i work if its not the lords way it will be in vain. So i would rather have 2 hours of consecrated finding then working all day. So we kept at it. praying nd doing things we felt was right and the Lord provided. We got a referral from a bishop contacted it right when we got it and we picked up a new investigator and put him on date for the 23rd of august!! The lord provides. That was easily the highlight of the week. Well that and Preston got confirmed. Ordinances are soo nice. and we were asked to participate in a baby blessing for the strains. they are a family that we reactivated. They are a very good family and wants to do whats best for there kids and there kids love the gospel soo thats just what happens. the kids pull the parents into the gospel.
Today we have a Pday activity with the mission president so should be pretty fun. Last week we just did the usual, and then had a quiet pday. played speedball, shadow and elder northrop and i enjoy the hard rain that came down. it was pouring and everyone else left and we just went to a big hill and slid down on our backs in the half muddy grass. it kinda worked. He is also from washington so he loves the rain as much as i do. i find the august summers soooo weird here. its always cloudy and rains randomly with thunderstorms. i would toatlly take sammamish summers over here. atleast its not random.
We have a zone training meeting tomorrow, and we have been hitting the scriptures hard. We are going to teach out of numbers ch. 11 probably and talk about how we can get the investigators from on date to actually baptized. we have 18 people on date in the zone which is the best our zone has had in a long time! So we are working super hard to solidify the people on date.
Well gotta go.
Love Elder Salmon
