This week has been a great week. At first it didn't seem
like it though. We didn't have many appointments this week, so we went
and visited many potential and former investigators. We burned through names in
the area book and miles in the car, but our efforts were rewarded with 5 new investigators which is a lot. We currently have 13
investigators! Some of them are starting to keep their
commitments and the members are starting to trust us and work with us more now too.
Our district is very compact. There is only 2 wards in it
and each ward has a set of Elders, Sisters and a senior couple. That's three
set of missionaries in each ward!
We eat breakfast and lunch by ourselves. I usually don't
cook things, I try to keep things simple and fast. Dinners are sometimes with
members, but usually not. But, when they feed us it is amazing food.
Just last week I had Hawaiian barbeque and Philippian
food.
I did receive the package, thanks for the
food and music it was exactly what I wanted. Don't worry about the clothes I
bought myself a jacket that should work with my personal debit card.
That's nice to hear about your break. Today is Columbus day here and I guess it's a pretty big holiday in North Carolina. That is great to hear that stake conference is coming up and that President Reed is still the Stake President. You will have to tell me how Stake Conference goes. It is good to hear about home.
I love that quote, something that I study a lot on since I
got here is trying to understand people. They have something in the mission
called OLDS. Observe, listen, discern and speak. It says in Preach My Gospel
that listening is more important than speaking. We cannot help people if we
don't listen to the spirit to know how to help them.
Love, Elder Lakey
