Hello family and friends!
This has been another great week in the Great Kentucky Louisville Mission!
The weather is picking up and the work is getting pretty hot as well, hopefully we can get some people to cool off in the font before the worst of summer gets here.
We really have been hitting the pavement pretty hard these last two weeks. We have found some pretty cool people. We taught one family last week who has never talked with missionaries before (several people have, and several confuse us with Jehovah's Witness, but that's another thing altogether). We started teaching this family and it was actually probably one of the better lessons so far on my mission. One thing I really appreciate is the unity Elder Baker and I already have and the rate at which it is developing. This family is open to everything and very clearly sees us as representatives of Christ.
There are a few situations like that, so I am excited for the work here in Clarksville.
We had an awesome Stake Conference yesterday as well. All the missionaries in the Stake joined the Stake Choir for a rendition of Called to Serve, it was pretty cool. The whole conference was about missionary work and the temple. President and Sister Woodbury were there and both spoke, so it was a pretty cool conference.
We have been in a challenge the last two weeks to see who could find the most new investigators. It was split up by district and and companionship. The winning district gets a pizookie party and a pizza party, and the winning companionship gets their car cleaned, a day to blitz with the Zone Leaders, so you can cover twice as much ground, and since Fort Knox is in our mission, a set of Army scriptures with a way cool Army scripture case. So, that challenge plus the fact that this area has been SO slow really got us started off hot. I am proud to say that Elder Baker and I beat out our whole zone and Clarksville Spanish just got some pride back. Plus, our district won as well, so it is safe to say we will be having a pretty fun District Meeting soon with all of our prizes. That challenge really helped our zone as well, more new investigators were found these last two weeks than during any other two weeks in this zone.
It is weeks like this that will ensure the work is progressing well here, we don't have it super hard here, but it isn't the easiest either, so I love to see things like this happening.
There is a saying around here, DWFTB, Don't Wait For The Bishop. But, we are changing it.
DWFTB, that's what Clarksville Spanish's new motto is, Do Work, Find, Teach, Baptize.
