08-09-2010 - Week 65

Well, this week went by really quickly! We taugh 6 times or so. An active member let us teach him (role play style). After hearing us teach and resolve his "concerns," he started getting really excited about missionary work. We met with a less-active sister who is starting to come back. We kinda taught her, but most of the time she spent telling us her conversion story and how much she loves the church and us. She has a rough go of things lately. She is Rocky's mother-in-law. We saw Rocky. That was the first time I have seen him for a couple months. He is so happy, now. Even though he does not want to continue meeting with us; us, the ward, and God helped pull him out of a pretty big rut. We taught a young Chinese guy, who never experienced religion. He froze up and shut down when we asked him to pray. The visit didn't last very long after that. Also, we met a young guy who was referred to us by missionaries in Taiwan (singles age, but steady dating. we will see. got an appointment on the 22nd). He is a law student and is very busy. He will read the Book of Mormon. We also taught the friend of one of the young men in the ward. It is a mess because he is atheist (Japenese heritage) and not investigating super strongly, we are meeting with him at the members home, we need to refer him to the singles Elders, he doesn't live in our stake, so we don't know how we are going to pull it off. Met with Bob. He is still not reading, so we will just meet occasionally to read with him (next appiontment is in 2 weeks). So what all of this means is: We don't really have anyone we are working with right now, but we have many good potentials, also awesome referrals we need to pass.

Our ward had a linger longer this past Sunday. The Sister we brought to Peggys lessons came up to us and told us she talked with her at the pool. Apparently, Peggy is really missing meeting with us. I feel the same.
