Splits and Unfixable lights

This has been a good week. Last Monday we played laser tag. It was really fun. We played using this special deal where you bring in 5 bottle caps of this one specific drink and then they let you play laser tag for free. It was really fun and today we are going to play again but this time we are going to play multiple rounds. 

This week went pretty good. We are still running into a lot of problems with our investigators only having Saturday free. We spend a lot of time during the week visiting members. We had a cool story in the middle of the week. We met with a less active member a few weeks ago and it turns out they work on Sunday and just can't really come to church. We left her with a commitment to introduce the gospel to her friends. So we left and then this week we called and set up another appointment. Then when she came to the place we set to meet at, she had a friend with her so we taught her friend and she was pretty good. Then as we were walking out of this shopping center she went and introduced her to two of her other friends. 

We also ate dinner at the Elders Quorum President’s house this week. It was really fun. We went there and he taught us how to make this Japanese curry. It was super fancy and tastes super good. 

We had a Zone training on Friday. That was pretty fun. They talked a lot about contacting people with love and really caring for that person. It was a good training because when you are just contacting in crowds of people it is easy to have your contact lose meaning.  

This Saturday we had to do a lot of stuff again. We had a lot of investigators to meet with, so we split off into two companionships. So Elder Ellis and I both went out with a different member and taught. it was a very good day. We also got to meet with the Bishop in the morning. it was fun. We walked in and he asked me, “Do you know how to do electric?” I replied with a ‘sort of’ and then he takes us over to his kitchen where he is trying to replace this light. It turns out there is more to the problem than originally thought so that didn't get fixed despite all my efforts to help. We ended up working on that for about an hour and a half before we got to actually start talking about the Ward. 

Our Investigator, Dan, is doing great. He is super prepared for the gospel and is progressing well towards his baptismal date (Sept 4). 

On Saturday I also had a good lesson with Brother Mote. He seemed like he was really excited to go to church yesterday, but he didn't come. It was a little sad because he said he was going to bring his family and everything. So that was a little bit of a let down yesterday.

Well, that is a good summary of our week. I hope I have some more interesting stuff next week.
