Batting Average Down!

Tuesday- We mowed a member's lawn, and talked to some people. That's kinda it.

Wednesday- We helped a non-member do some yardwork at the cinema that Bishop owns. We pulled up some bushes with  a truck. It was so sweet. We also got a little tour of the theater. There is something behind the movie screens. We checked. We went to another member's house and helped him get stuff ready for new carpet. We went to dinner with Brother Diettrich, then we went and helped a sister move some stuff. Our entire day was service.

Thursday- We went down to Rocky Mount to do a district weekly planning. Afterwards, I went on an exchange with Elder Dickerson. He's Mason Goold's cousin!!! We had a pretty good day. We had 2 appointments cancel, but a member did give us money for Cracker Barrel, and it was awesome!!! We did see a miracle. I forgot to fill something out online this week, so we were heading back to the church. On our way, we felt prompted to check on a less active. The member didn't live there anymore, but the guy who does now said he was looking for a church. We talked a bit about a modern prophets and he said we could come back next week. 

Friday- We had district meeting and stuff. We went and tried to contact a referral, but she wasn't home. We knocked a couple doors in the neighborhood, then we got to talking to a few boys. One of them led us to his house, and we were able to teach him and his brother about the Book of Mormon. He wanted us to come back when his dad was home. We had another appointment cancel. We had coordination and dinner at the Brletich's. We got a call from Thomas saying he wanted to talk to us. We didn't really teach anything, he just needed someone to talk to.

Saturday- Today was no bueno. We had 4 appointments cancel. We were able to do some street contacting. We also heard 4 gunshots not 2 blocks from where we were. That was pretty gnarly.

Sunday- We had 2 appointments cancel today. For some strange reason, we decided to go walk to our appointments, on fast sunday. We were walking around for about 2 hours. We were both exhausted haha. 

 Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;

With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.

Leave to thy God to order and provide;

In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.

Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav'nly Friend

Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

I testify that these words are true. When we bear our afflictions with patience and faith, God will lead us to that joyful end. Trials are temporary. God is forever.

Yeah, so we were 0-9 on appointments this week. We've had to drop several investigators. Satan's trying to discourage us. He's all like "Look at all those cancellations. You guys are failing," and we're all like, "That's cause you're tempting them silly Satan. Stop being such a bully," and then we punch him in the face cause he's mean and stuff. Satan can't stop the work from progressing cause he's Satan. We've begun Miracle May. Expect to hear some miracles next week. Love you all.
