So this week was awesome... mostly because of General Conference. To the few people who aren't members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, General Conference is where we get to hear from the leaders of our church, Modern Abraham's and Moses's and Peter, James and John's! Literally learning what God has to say about the world at this time! Advice and commandments for now and not 2 or more thousand years ago. Not that scripture isn't important, but the world is always changing, so we need always need God's help.
Anyway. conference was amazing if you didn't get chance to watch it I would extremely encourage it. This week was good.
Tuesday we were able to teach alot of people. We taught Douglas ( I think I have mentioned him before) he is a super cool old southern guy... ok he is not that old ... but he is old. Anway... we asked him if he had read any of the book of mormon... and he was like "sorry guys I was only able to read up to chapter 10." And we were just sitting there like... "its ok... most people don't read the first ten words." hahah so that was awesome! We also taught Brad... he is doing well not much new there.
Wednesday was our only full day to proselytize.... and we were only able to teach one lesson :(
Thursday- we had missionary leadership council... basically like 6 hours of figuring out what the mission needs to do better... kinda long and dry and taking up a whole day because we have to go to the mission office for it.
Friday- planning the Zone meeting we have to give tomorrow.
We did teach a few recent converts so that was good.
Saturday- Conference!!!!!! and more Conference!!
today we hiked a mountain and that is what the pictures are of!

PS.
my verse is Mosiah 27:36. seemed appropriate for my current vocation.
I don't know what to tell you/ grandpa... where I am very few of my investigators actually work... so we can visit them whenever... and coincidentally not very many people work so we can just try people. However with a huge emphasis on families...I guess I would say that contacting at a park would be the best option. Typically it is a lot of moms which is perfect! You can find families... and then set up return appt for the evening when everyone is home.
