This was a great week. Monday we went bowling. I found a cool Hawaiian shirt for like 2 bucks at DI, just to get into the bowling spirit.(mom note: this shirt... It’s UUUUGLY!) We also had a really cool miracle! We had a few members pray that we find a new investigator before 9 o'clock. When we had them pray, it was about 8 o'clock, and we needed to find somebody that night. We felt like we needed to go by a potential's house, but they didn't pan out. Then at 8:59 PM, we knocked on this guy named Behrans door. He seemed really interested and he said we could come back after we talked to him for a little bit. Talk about cool miracles! This one was really cool!
Tuesday we had a day. We were working really hard to trying contact some people. No luck for us really the whole day. Then later that day we had lesson with Jessica. She is doing well. Her lesson was centered on helping her share the gospel. She has a bunch of friends and the one she wants to share the gospel with was somebody who wasn't very supportive of her when she got baptized. We were helping her plan to share this message. Afterward we had institute. It was just a really good lesson on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We are really trying to get some of our people to come to this because it is so good.
Wednesday was a very interesting day. We went out to District meeting up in North Portland area. We had plans to stay up there to work in that area. Then I got a call from a less active who asked us if we could help him move some furniture into his place. So we changed our plans so we could help him out and then we taught him about how to do missionary work. It was sweet, but it kind of threw a whole wrench in our plans, but it worked. After we had all that happen, we had a lesson down at the very bottom of our area right after dinner which meant rush-hour traffic. So we were stuck in traffic for about an hour. We had a really awesome lesson after dinner. We had a lesson with somebody who wants to get back in the swing of things.
Thursday was such a breeze. We did some service at the bishop’s storehouse. Then after that, we headed over to a lesson for a less active guy. After, we tried to contact around there; for the most part, no luck.
Friday we had a really good planning session. We've been struggling to find some people who are solid who we can actually teach. Our problem is we find people aren't all too interested. So we have some really good plans on how are going to find some new investigators this week. Some of those are really out of the box.
Saturday was a very very busy day. We had a breakfast at the beginning of the day. We had a correlation meeting with our new Ward mission leader. It is kinda hard to communicate because he is Hispanic and there is a language barrier. After that we headed out to the institute building to have a lesson. It was a good lesson. Then we headed to a baptism in Longview for Elder Davenport.
Sunday was mostly just church. And we had a sweet miracle come to church. Just somebody who wanted to come that some other missionaries found. That was a bonus!
