It has been a good week here in Carlsbad New Mexico.
We are doing a lot of finding here. Which is a lot of work. We have not had a lot of luck finding people who are ready to hear of the Gospel. The Lord is aware and we will find those who are prepared as we keep working.
On Tuesday we were supposed to have district meeting but our district leader was sick so it was cancelled. We ended up finding for a while. We tried by a less active who wants to come back to church. He was super awesome and nice. We were not aloud to go in to teach a lesson because there were no other females in his house. That rule makes things hard sometimes. I also had to do online training for 3 hours it was awful. They had the cheesiest videos ever. I am now done with them and never have to watch them again.
On Wednesday we had our district meeting. It was a really good one and we talked about how to seek and learn by the spirit. Sister Hunt wasn't feeling well so she rested and I read the book Saints. If you have not read that book yet you are missing out. It is so good. I encourage you to all read it.
On Thursday we went to Faith, Hope, Love and folded clothes. Then we went finding that night and got eaten alive by mosquito's. They are so bad here. I have never been bitten so much in my entire life. We have found that family history is a good way to have people listen to us. Not many people care to hear about the Gospel but a lot are interested in knowing about where they came from. We have had a lot of success using that.
On Friday we did service at the soup kitchen in the morning. Then it was our planning day so we planned for the next week. Weekly planning takes a lot of effort. We then had a lesson with some recent converts the Perez Family. They are so awesome and their testimonies are so strong. They have been through a lot and come along way. They seem so happy.
Saturday we started the day off early and went and helped paint at a life house for women and children. That was a lot of fun. We saw one of our investigators there. We also went to a heritage festival to find people we found a couple with family history. That was effective. Then we finished weekly planning and went knocking. Sometimes when people have things come up that are supposed to feed us they give us money. We went to McAllisters it was so good! Then Sunday we actually talked in church. We were asked to talk about how the ward can help in missionary efforts. It went really well and hopefully we can get more help from members. Member missionary work is so important. The members know the people in their towns way better than the missionaries. We really encouraged our members to get out there able to help us find people to teach. We also went to a family dinner with members in our ward. We taught family home evening and there was a nonmember there. We taught the restoration. The spirit was so strong and hopefully we can continue to teach him.
Thank you everyone for the love and support I receive. I am so grateful to be sharing the Gospel. I am grateful for the things I am learning and will continue to learn. I love you all!
