So this week seemed pretty long for some reason, nothing hard happened to make it seem that way just seemed like 2 weeks in one lol. So this week we had a lesson with the our new investigator family well he used to be a member of our church but it's so awesome. We had dinner and a lesson with him and his wife then played some basketball at the church with a few other people. It was nice because there are not to many young cool people in canon lol. On Thursday we went to "springs" (Colorado Springs) for interviews with the Mission President and I got my new camera! We finally got to eat at BBW(Big Burger World) after district meeting again lol.
This week was filled with a lot of appointments that fell through and people not being home when we do stop byes. On Saturday we did a blitz in our area so my companion and I, and the sisters got together and set goals for an hour and a half and we got some pretty good results of 8 copies of the book of mormon 3 new gators(Investigators) over 40 contacts and 4 potential gators. So that was productive and very awesome!
Then we met with a member who is in like an assisted living facility and I absolutely love getting to see and meet with him, we don't meet very long or share much but when we go we share a scripture and a hymn and his face just lights up every time and he really enjoys the company and the visits. Before my mission I couldn't stand being in those places but now I want to go to places like that and possibly volunteer when I come home I just love seeing the joy they have when we come to visit and give them company! Then last night we went to a fireside in springs and it was super good people who were recently baptized or came back to church after a long time bore their testimonies and shared their conversion stories. President shared somethings I want to share with you he said, in life we should ask these 2 questions that are found through out the scriptures. the first one is "what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life? And the second one is "what lack I yet?" we can always do things to improve and to grow and the straight and narrow path 2 conference talks from October talked about similar things one of them is from Jeffery R Holland and it's "be ye therefore perfect eventually" we cant beat our selves up because we aren't where we wanna be but we cant be comfortable with where we are either. There is always room for improvement especially on the path to eternal life I encourage all of you to pray and seek what you must do to continue to move and grow closer to your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I love you all and hope you all have a wonderful week.
