The work is picking up!

What a great week it was. On tuesday we drove an hour to Junction a small town in the ward. We went with the High Priest Group Leader and visited with several less actives in the area. It took up the whole day. We had a fun time. We were also able to give the sacrament to an elderly lady there which was a neat experience.

On Thursday we had Zone Conference in San Antonio. Elder Cornish of the 70 came and spoke with us on how we can work differently with the active members of the ward. We are excited to apply the different things that he talked about. These were five things that he had a focused on.



1. Earn the Trust of the members/Know them
2. Set goals together/train together/find together
3. Teach with members
4. Cottage meetings
5. “Friends Sunday”

After conference we visited with an active family the Adams and they told us of a family that they want to share the gospel with. This non member family has the perfect questions that an investigator should have. They asked the Adams "why God doesn't speak with us anymore" and they also mentioned how there are many churches that seem to teach some truth but they want to find a church that teaches all the truth. We have a family home evening set up for next Monday evening with a
BBQ and a message. We are excited to teach this family next week. We had several investigators come to church yesterday. One of are investigators Sindy wants to be baptized but before she does she wants to learn more. There is also a part member family that came to church and want us to start to teach them. The work is really starting to pick up in this area. there should be several baptisms in the near future.
