It's been a good week. It must still be
planting/nurturing season though, because we haven't started
harvesting yet.
Tuesday, we have been breaking up
our area into sections and will try by everyone in that area, and
that's what we did Tuesday morning. Then after lunch we went
tracting, and we started a game, that another missionary taught me,
well we did it. Tracting Ball. You knock up to three doors and if
someone answers, even if they don't accept our message, you get a
point and it's the next persons turn. If no one answers you "strike
out" and then it's the next persons turn. It adds some
excitement to our long days, the only problem is Elder Peterson is
far too lucky at it for my liking and he beats me almost every time.
We then did our service at the Salvation Army. Afterwards we had
dinner with a member, took some cookies to some less actives, then
tried by others to finish off the day. Oh we also had a few snow
flurries.
Wednesday, we had interviews. It's
always good to see President and Sister Brough, but you know you
don't have much time when President starts making trunky jokes at
you. He said "Elder Durrant! I can barely see you, you have so
little time left." Thanks President. At least Sister Brough
hasn't yet, because when that happens you know you're doomed. Anyway,
we had a good chat and I got my temple recommend renewed. Afterwards,
we had lunch and then had a "Three Dragon Tsunami Blitz".
The whole district went to Greenville to work the area to help them
out. Elder Peterson and Elder Matealu stayed in Greenville tracting
and contacting. Elder Pryor and Stuart took the Greenville car and
worked in one side of the area. Then Elder Lundgreen and myself took
the Madisonville car and worked a different part of the area, and I
was able to drive because Elder Lundgreen didn't have his car login
yet. Afterwards we all met at a members home and reviewed how it went
for everyone then had dinner.
Thursday, we did our service at
the park, and that's always a ton of fun. Later we saw the less
active that we read with, but before we could get started his
grandkids came by. We then worked the area close by and again I lost
at "tracting ball". Then that evening we had coordination.
Friday, we had our weekly
planning, continued to work and tract, had dinner with a member, then
tracted some more. But I actually won, so that was ok.
Saturday, we did service with the
branch picking up trash in one of the nearby towns and since we don't
get out there much we also took our proselyting clothes, found
somewhere to change, then worked the area for a little bit. Then went
home, had lunch, planned for the rest of the day then had our
personal study since we weren't able to do it in the morning. After,
we tried by some people, did our service at the Salvation Army and
spent the rest of the day trying to find people.
Sunday, we had branch conference,
and I was able to see some people from the Newburgh ward. Then
afterwards we had a potluck, that was really good and we got
leftovers! Afterwards we were planning on trying by a ton of people
but this unholy ritual was going on on TV. But we were able to get in
with one member a visit with them for a little. It always makes for a
long day when UK is playing a game. Later we went on splits with some
members and visited some less active members, and we did that for
most of the evening. Lastly we had received a referral from a member
to one of her friends, but unfortunately they were not yet ready.
That's been my week. I hope everyone
had a good one.
Love,
Elder Durrant
