weekly update 7/19 /2011

Hello Family and Friends

These last few days have been pretty good. It has been nice and wet. Despite the wet weather the finding has been alright we managed to set up some good appointments with people. They seem pretty solid.

This week and last weeks "weekly focus" was on committing and recommitting investigators to sacrament meeting, at the beginning of every lesson. I have seen the fruits of this weekly focus. We were able to get two investigators to church and one non member who we are not teaching at the moment. That non member has expressed that she would like to be taught the lessons. I know that each of the weekly focuses we have are inspired, and that as we diligently follow them, the lord will bless us with great abundance

Something I learnt this week was that we need to try early in the week to get investigators a lift for church. I learnt it the hard way. This week Sunday came around and we had forgotten to get mike a lift to church. So in the morning we were stressing out trying to get a lift on such short notice, unfortunately we were unable to get him to church and he miss out this week. I am quite positive that it was because we waited to long to get a lift for him. If we would have tried earlier am sure we would have been able to get someone.
Thanks for everything!
