Hi! I mjss you guys a ton! I also wish i was back packing! I am gaining weight somehow and it stinks. Hopefully it's all muscle from actually working out everyday but I honestly can't tell... (-:
Our week wasn't super exciting. We do get to go play soccer ever Saturday morning now! And it's an awesome tool to talk to less actives and invite our investigators to! We have been doing a lot of work with members because you can't really tract in the city. Doormen would kick us out and have so we can't really knock doors. Member work is slow but it's cool to see how the wards are getting stoked to engage in more missionary work because of what we are doing! We've been getting referrals from members slowly but surely and they are so solid. We are meeting with a referral we got yesterday this upcoming week and I have never seen anyone get so excited about learning about the church! It's awesome. Oh and we are trying to reactivate less active members too and boy did we have an experience. So we schedule an appointment with a less active right, and then we show up and he's gay. He was a way good guy though. Then my companion asked why he left the church 😐 it was so obvious and I didn't know what to do. It ended up being ok and then it was my turn to talk and I just started talking about prayer! Didn't known where that came from but hey! It worked. My companion scheduled another meeting with him and we are all going to lunch on Saturday. Our investigator John didn't get baptized on Saturday and we were supposed to have a lesson with him last night but he didn't show up. We tried calling him a bunch but he didn't answer. Finally we called one of his fellowshippers in the ward and asked her to get a hold of him. She did and we are waiting for him to call us back. We had the elders quorum president with us for the lesson who cancelled so he took us to dinner and it was soooo good. It's this place called sweet greens and it's and it's all just kale salad with different ingredients. It's so good. My trainer leaves in a week so I'm a little scared that my new comp is going to make me lazy but hopefully I can keep up what we've been working on and follow through with this awesome missionary plan we've been coming up with. The members in the YSA ward are really the coolest! Thanks to all for the letters and packages!!! Have a great week!
