The Ward Technique

Dr. King and I

I'm trying something new this week. This is how Elder Ward sends his emails. Without further a do (yes I'm aware that's not how you say write that) the Elder Ward technique.

The Work

     Things just blew up last week. With a trio, we can go into any house, even if it's a single female. We were able to teach more lessons than I've taught in nearly a year. We also found a lot of new investigators. At least one of them is going to be baptized. The struggle now is getting people to commit to appointments. Two of our new investigators are that couple (Thomas and Joyce) that Elder Lewis and I did service for a few weeks ago. We set another one for baptism on August 1st.

The Weather

     It was a very wet week. Nothing like tracting in the rain, oh yeah!!!

The 4th

     The 4th was such a great day. No parades, I guess they don't believe in parades in the south, and to that I say boo. There were fireworks though. We went early so we could contact people and found a lot of success. We came away with 140 I/O's and a funnel cake (so yummy)!!! The fireworks were pretty sweet, but during the finale, a truck stopped right in front of us, so we could only see the really high ones. If I wasn't a missionary, I would have grabbed a random egg, and hucked it into a frying pan, and the cooked it to perfection, then offered some to the guy, but instead of giving it to him, I would have ate the egg right in front of his face. What did you think I was going to do? Egging people is just mean.

The Testimonies

     Elder Ward got up to bear his testimony, so Elder Lewis and I followed him. I could not get through it, I was crying so much. Just so we're clear, I don't cry except on very special occasions, like when Mufasa died, or when my ice cream cone topples over. I bore testimony about the Love that God has for e'rebody. Sorta random but...yeah.

The Nap

     Elder Lewis started his fast early, so he took a lunch hour. Elder Ward and I were still fasting, so we took a Sunday nap. It was the best nap I've ever had. We woke up pumped to go do work.

I'm kinda hyper today, so sorry about the total randomness. On second thought, I'm not sorry. That email was sweet. Love you all. Have a great week. Bardledoo my friends. Bardledoo.

Love,

Elder Dumont
