We had some ups and downs this past week. This last Thursday was pretty event-packed with another mission meeting and later the church open-house. We had our Zone Conference from 10 a.m.-4p.m. with Elder Zwick from the Seventy again. All of the training was great and I pulled a lot away from it. However, we did not expect it to go as long as it did. As soon as it was over, we drove back to the church as quickly as we could for the open house that started at 6p.m. We were suppose to be tour guides for the groups. We arrived at 6:30p.m and we saw that only about 6 people had showed up. Our Ward Mission Leader's wife and the Bishop had taken them on a tour and all that was left to do was basically stand in the gym to talk to them and answer any questions. A few of the people who took the tour seemed to show some interest in learning more, so we will see what happens with them.
The rest of the week following Thursday was extremely slow for us. From Thursday to Saturday, we managed to teach one lesson. For some reason all of our appointments kept falling through and we had to drop just about every one of our investigators because they were not progressing.
Today we have an appointment scheduled with someone that we met at Dairy Queen a few weeks ago. We are going to be showing her around the church building and having a lesson with her. We are going to try and set a date for baptism with her, so I hope that it goes well.
This weekend we have the ward's annual "hog roast", and I am going to see if we can help with the butchering of the hog. I did it last year when I was in Port Charlotte, but we had to leave early because the sisters crashed the car and we had to go help. I don't think that Elder Baumgartner is too thrilled to do it, but we will see.
Love,
Elder A. Whaley
