Well Elder Straga and I have changed up our finding techniques this
week. Some Missionaries managed to get 40 Member referrals in one week
with their ward and we’ve been trying to replicate that. It hasn't
been going so well to be honest. This has also been the first week
doing it this way, and I’ve spent my whole mission doing missionary
work another way so I just need some time to figure it out
hopefully...
I did have a couple cool experiences this week, even though it wasn’t
too successful. The first was when our Bishop took us out to visit
some families. There was a recent move in for our ward that hasn’t
been to church yet so our Bishop thought it was a good idea to go over
and introduce ourselves. We went over and knocked on their door. When
the Mom opened the door you could tell she looked panicked when she saw
who we were. She started giving us a hard time because apparently she
didn’t want to be found and she didn’t understand how no matter where
she went the missionaries always found her. Our Bishop is a really
loving guy and simply explained how the Lord loved her and wasn’t
going to give up on her. This member just started to
cry. She understands God’s love for her and I think she believes it
too. Hopefully we can start working with her or she’ll come back again
someday.
We were also at another less active members house sharing a message
when one of her friends came over to her house. He was kinda
disrespectful and wanted to disrupt our message so he began to pour
shots for everyone in the room even for us. While we were there, I
could see the people had felt the spirit. Even though the environment
wasn’t the best at that time, everybody’s demeanor had changed. They
calmed down and listened to us.
