Car Restoration

April 4^th, 2016

Dear Family, and friends,

I am doing well, I hope you all got to see General Conference, I would first like to ask what was your favorite talk given and why, and what was something that the spirit taught you?  For me when listening to the talks, I learned more about the family, and its importance, and how we (the missionaries) need to teach this more to our investigators, so that they gain a more solid understanding of what we believe.

 

This past week has been slow we were only able to meet with 2 people and they were more of a follow up, making sure that they were keeping the commitments, and one of them probably dropped us.  We don't know, we are going to go back and see if he did, if not, GREAT we continue on and teach him, if so we get to do some more finding in the area. We were running low on miles in the last day of the month, we had about 20 miles and it is a 6 mile round trip to go anywhere in our area and get back to the apartment, and we are the unofficial designated drivers for the missionaries that don't have a car and only have 5 minutes to bike 3 miles up the mesa, hence why we’re low on miles but we felt good doing it.  We aren't having much success in our area but we get to help them out with their area and they get to have greater success. We stopped by an investigator family that we found 2 months ago, the reason why we didn't get to teach them is that their house flooded and they are doing the rework and they are barely getting it done, because the insurance doesn't want to pay for it, so they told to come back later, but they are still interested in meeting with us, Fingers crossed, :D. Oh... something that I have noticed out here if you get people talking about their car they will talk for hours about restoring it. We tie in the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and how it is like a car that has been restored to its former glory, and it is AWESOME when we get a return appointment to go visit them or another way to get people talking is asking about food in particular Cake (in our area if there is a birthday party in the park) and we make the comparison that the plan of Salvation is like the making of a cake.

 

Love you all
