We had a very good week. Today we went and walked around the mountains around here called Mount Tabor. It's pretty fun, it was just a park that we walked around. We took some good pictures.
Tuesday was a very interesting day, we had a pretty open day so we tried to find some new investigators. We didn't have much success in the afternoon, we went around and tried to contact by a community college. They wanted nothing to do with us at the time and there were not very many people out at the college. Seems like we got there just as class was starting. Then we made the usual drive out to the Institute building. There's another community college out that way and we felt like we needed to go knock a little bit in an apartment complex. After a little bit we wanted to find one person there. Turns out we did! We found Vanessa. She said she usually doesn't open the door to missionaries but she felt like she needed to this time. She told us that she has a belief in God but feels like he is very distant. After talking to her for a little bit we shared a message with her about how she can come closer to her Heavenly Father. She was golden. That's what our story is been the last little bit - finding some people aren't YSA but are down for the cause. We are also getting poached a little bit this week meaning that other areas that we are over are teaching YSA people. So that is a little annoying.
Wednesday was zone conference. We learned a lot and had a very good meeting. We are starting to do those every transfer now. President taught us which group of people is most likely to stay active in the church and we learned better ways to go about finding some new investigators. Then we had a lesson with David. He is from Rwanda and he is a refugee. He speaks really good English. We are excited to teach him.
Thursday we were on exchanges. I want to the Portland ward with Elder Webb. (Mom note: Elder Webb’s mom was in my home ward in Arizona. Her family claims that my family was instrumental in the conversion of her family.) He is a good guy we had a hard working day. We biked and walked around all day. We talked to close to 40 people. We had a really good exchange.
Friday was our planning day and we had a lesson with a recently returned Marine. He was telling us all the things that he had going on in his life and that he needed some peace and comfort. It was a good talk - he'll fit in really well.
Saturday was a usual day - nothing special just working to build up the teaching pool.
That is all for us.
