Dear Family,
We kind of
had a sobering week. We didn't see a single one of our
investigators. They were all "too busy". We got a few
lessons as we tried to contact less actives who had moved but none of those we
taught were interested in a follow up visit. None of our people came to church
either. "I" had transportation but got called into work and "A" said
he was going to go to the family ward with his girlfriend but the Elders there
said that he didn't come.
We are kind of
afraid that we are going to be whitewashed out of here. President just
sent us an email telling us to make sure that our area book is up to date
because he is going to be making some changes.
He he. Funny
that the Elders in Manhattan have been worried about why I’m not in
church. We have tried to contact a couple people that turned out to be on
missions as well.
I seriously
can't remember most of what happened this week. It's kind of sad.
It probably means I need to write in my journal more often.
We talked
with a few people about their conversion stories this week. It was
interesting how they all seemed to join for different reasons. Some were
searching, others were happy where they were. They had different doctrines that appealed to each of them and rang true to them. We never know when someone
is prepared and we never know what will be the thing that touches them.
Only God knows. Any person we come in contact with could be ready, there
are no signs that mark a prepared person. The only way to know is to
invite. So we need to invite everyone. While we are inviting we
need to be sure to include God so that it will be for the welfare of, not only
our soul, but those we are in contact with.
Love
you,
Elder
Stapley
