Wednesday we had a full night at Book of Mormon class! Brother Eldredge, Brother Rainey and Sister Wallace came! It was super great! We've actually done lots of tracting this week.. that's what our goal has been as a district! All of the goals that we have are pretty much dependent on one key factor...having people to teach...which seems to be a struggle for our district so we're always trying to make our goal for the week something that might help us with our goal to find new investigators.... we know they're out there! just got to find them somehow! maybe tracting is the way! Many people have said that tracting is counterproductive and so we usually try to do other things but we're trying this and we know miracles are on the way! We've talked to some great people...they're just so stubborn and set in there ways... but we'll find the ones that are prepared! :) So that has been most of our week! Tracting and trying to find people!
We have three referrals - one that I was telling you about last week that goes to Bowdoin College that we haven't been able to contact yet...this week though! and two others that we just got! So that is promising! :) I know that we are being blessed for our efforts and hopefully these referrals are prepared and we can teach them! But you know..if not...more seeds to plant! :) Yesterday was a really good day! Church was good and we were so lucky we got to teach sharing time! Oh I love primary!! We were thinkin' of how we could make it a fun lesson...it was supposed to be on missionary work... so what genius idea came to mind?? glow sticks. yup!! another deLIGHTful lesson with glow sticks! haha it was so fun! I had one glow stick and gave it to one of the kids and told them how if only one had the light then it wasn't very bright in the room...then we gave them all glow sticks and lit up the whole primary room and talked about how they need to let their light shine and be examples! It was so fun! :) We can all be missionaries just by our example!
I might have already shared this with you but I heard a quote that said "you may be the only scripture that anybody ever reads" I really like that because it's so true! People see our examples and it's as simple as that! Don't go out of your way to do missionary work! Do it on the way! :) After church we went and saw Brother Hersom! They moved in with the Rainey's so we just went over there for a while and sung hymns! :) Then we had a lesson with Greg (the eternigator) that went really well! We're still just not sure what to do with him... patience is the key...it's all about timing I think! Not sure when he'll be ready but it will come! And then after that we went and saw Chris who I told you about last week! She is a former and potential investigator and we taught her again yesterday so we're counting her as a new investigator! Woo!! So that's pretty exciting! We were able to teach her a little about the plan of salvation and she just has no real knowledge or religious background so it's all new to her... I love teaching the primary kids and it's cool to think that that's what we're doing with all these people! they are young in the gospel! But I know that we're not teaching anything new..we're teaching things she already knew! She knew this stuff before...now we just have to remind her and help her realize that! I'm excited to be able to teach her more! Hopefully she will continue to let us come! :) So again lots of good things are happening! Thanks for all of your prayers! I know that they really do make a difference! I love you all so much!!! Have a wonderful week!! LOVE YOU!! :)
p.s. here's some pictures!! :) the ones in the pitch black dark are from yesterday tracting...at 4:30!!! and it's pitch black dark outside!! we knocked on doors and people said we woke them up they had been in bed!!! what the?!?!? oh great... what do we do it gets dark at 4:30... thanks daylight savings!.... well! we'll figure it out! haha
Love,
Sister Tait
