Hello! How are you
guys doing? Elder Schippers is making a
recording to send to his family. So I'm going to go into a different
room. Hang on. So, hopefully you are going to be able to listen
to this one this time.
Yea, this week's been good.
Moves Week. Moves weeks are
always interesting. There's something
about them that just makes them not as productive as every other week which is
too bad. So it wasn't our best week but we did get alot of
good things done. We celebrated with
F that she's completely off smoking this week which was a great, great
boost. We are really excited about her baptism
date Sept 5th. I hope we mentioned that last week but I'm not
sure if I did.
Our week was a little difficult because at the moment we're kind
of in a sticky spot because we've only
got F. She's the only person that we're
working with . Period. We're not working with any less actives,
we're not working with any recent converts unless you count H and I'll
get into that in a bit. Or any other
investigators, we're just working with F.
So there isn't much to do beyond finding. Doing finding day in and day out is very hard
sometimes. It's really grinding. But hey we need somebody to teach otherwise we'll
be doing more of it when Sept. 5 th comes around!
We've got a new district leader cause with moves week they
whitewashed the area where our district leaders were in which was called Newtonabbey. So they whitewashed those elders out. When I say whitewashed, that is just
missionary speak for they took both elders out of the area and are replacing
them with two brand new elders, not like brand new as in new training, just brand
new to the area. We got our new District
Leader which is Elder Harmon who was
actually in my group. He knows Inverness
well. I haven't seen him since the MTC but
he started out in Thursow, so he knows Inverness. After he left Thursow he went to Airdrie near
Cumbernauld. So both places he served,
he's quite familiar with where I served. It's just funny and interesting. I got to talk to him quite a bit this week. Elder
Schippers, because he served in Newtonabbey
before, we got to see him and show him the ropes. He's also training so I really feel bad for him. He's white washing, training and he's a district
leader - his first time as district
leader. He's probably got alot on his
hands!
So it's been a good week.
H.
So on Thursday we gave him a call asking him if we could meet with him
later this week and he said "Yes, I'll give you a text tomorrow before 12." He's told us similar things in the past and
he never does. Well he hasn't since he
got baptized. It's been really
frustrating and he didn't do it again and he didn't come to church today
either, so I'm really concerned about
him. So keep him in your prayers please
and I'll be doing the same.
Interesting story, so
today I gave a talk in church. I'm going
to try to see if I can include it and send it to you guys. I had to put the recorder in my jacket pocket
so it's a little muffled. I'm also trying everything with the new low quality
recording so hopefully you can still understand what I'm saying. I'll be able to send more to you. So let's see, yea, everything's been fine; I
can't complain. Nothing to brag
about. But yea, so hope all you guys had
a good week. Hope you guys got to do
some fun things and hope you guys are staying happy. Cause it's great when you're happy. It's really great! So I'm looking forward to talking to you more
tomorrow. We'll see you then. Bye!
