This past week has been pretty
good.
On Monday we had our
Preparation Day as a District, we played basketball with some members and
nonmembers at the church. It was a lot of fun. I went on an exchange to
Colebrook that night with Elder Roberts.
On Tuesday I was in Colebrook
and we had a pretty good exchange. We just did regular stuff up there.
On Wednesday we exchanged back.
We met in Groveton and then me and Elder Simmonds went to Lancaster for the
day. It was a pretty good day in Lancaster. Usually we dont get much done, but
we actually did this time.
We stopped by an active family,
but for some reason missionaries stopped by there very frequently in the past.
Now they expect missionaries to come by every week. We hadnt stopped by in
several weeks because we have been busy doing other things and they got mad at
us and told us to stop by.
We also went down to Whitefield
and contacted a referral there. It was a man about 24 years old and he has gone
hiking on just about every trail in the United States. He hiked the continental
divide and the Appalachian trail. While he was hiking the continental divide he
ran into a youth group from the church doing a pioneer trek reenactment with
handcarts. A lot of these groups of youth do this and go out into the Wyoming
desert for a few days pulling handcarts. He joined the group and learned a
little about the church. One of the guys that he met referred us to stop by
him. He wasnt interested in learning more but we had a good conversation with him.
We also met another less active
family. They seem really cool. We will probably be teaching them lessons here
soon. The dad said that he wants his family to be sealed in the temple.
On Thursday we taught Lu, CJ, Seth, and Ethan about Tithing. The lesson went really well and they all committed to pay tithing when they are baptized.
On Friday we had Zone Interviews with our Mission President in Plymouth NH. Then we went to Lancaster. We met with the less active family again
.
On Saturday it rained all day.
We taught Diane and her friend Paul. We visited with Danny. We taught Lu, CJ,
Seth, and Ethan about keeping the Sabbath day holy.
On Sunday we had more rain...
freezing rain. Church was shortened to only Sacrament meeting and that was only
45 minutes long.
Well thats about it. We gotta
go to Jefferson to have some dinner and a family home evening lesson with a
family.
See you on Wednesday! (with Skype)
