Things that are new and noteworthy

We weren’t able to teach Julian this week and are pushing his baptism back… again. Hopefully we can get everyone on board this ship and get some stuff figured out.

Saturday was designated in our mission as a “finding day”, a day to focus all of our efforts on contacting and tracting and doing other things to find new investigators. However, since we don’t really have any investigators and no appointments during the day, it wasn’t very different for Elder Thomas and I. However, during some tracting, we did have a neat experience. We knocked on a door and the man who answered immediately invited us in. He was very nice and offered us water and some food. We made small talk for a while and were eventually able to place a Book of Mormon with him. His name was John and he seemed fairly interested so we will definitely be following up on him.

Last night, we had a missionary fireside at the church that went really well. Bart Oats, former NFL player and three-time Super Bowl champion, came and spoke. It was really interesting. There were quite a few non-members there and we were able to talk to lots of people about the Church and give away a few Books of Mormon. Unfortunately, I think everyone we talked to came from outside our mission boundaries but we were still able to plant a lot of seeds.

That is all for this week and if there is anything else, I can’t think of it. I hope you all are doing well. Thanks for everything! Much love!!
