This week was better, mostly because we were busy. I was scared about getting a mini missionary because I didn't just want to tract the whole day with him, but we were really blessed with being really busy. We actually did not have much time for tracting, we could only do it for about half an hour because of all of the service we were doing. We also found out that getting kicked out of the caravan park ended up being a good thing. Now we are teaching the recent convert at her friend's house. Her friend was an investigator but told us she was not interested when we first got to the area. We had a short lesson last week with her and she said that we can teach at her house as long as she gets a lesson as well. We are pretty happy to be doing that. It was also good to be able to make her a new investigator because she is the first of this transfer. She also has one kid that is 10 and we think two others that are over 8 so we hopefully will be able to get them as investigators as well, which will be pretty sweet. It is funny how the Lord works in mysterious ways, but really cool to see that He is in control of everything.
I also really loved conference. I really liked Elder Ballard's talk and the other 70 who played football at BYU. I did not just like them because they talked about missionary work, but they put it really simply how to do it. Just inviting to an activity, or praying for someone, those are things that almost anyone can do. I also liked the praying for the missionaries by name as well as their investigators. There is a quote by President Hinckley about not just praying for missionaries world wide, but for the ones serving in your ward, as well as praying for ways you can help them. I also agree with what the mission president there said about missionaries being the teachers, and members being the finders. Missionaries are really good at teaching, that is what we love to do and practice every day. But we are horrible finders. Most people will not change their life because two men dressed weird knocked on their door. Some do and they are amazing, but most won't unless they have a friend introduce it to them.
