There is new missionary term I learned and that is "mowing the lawn." It
means to knock doors and find for long hours of the day because the
color on the area book is green. So it is like we are cutting the green
grass. Anyways, this week I went on two splits! One with the T-stat 2
Elders and the other was up in my old area with the APs. The first one
with the T-stat Elders went very well! I went with Elder Sanchez for
most of it and he is a very powerful testifier. He is also from
California and we knocked doors for a while. I got to eat dinner with
someone that Grandma J and Niel know. She absolutely loves Grandma J and
attributes a lot of her growth to her. It was very cool talking with
her. A lot of the members here know someone I know because most are from
Utah! Like yesterday I met a guy who is from Highland Utah and
graduated from Lone Peak in 2009 or something like that!
My second split with the APs was really fun! I went with Elder Rock and
we found 7 new investigators! That is the most I have ever found in one day.
Elder Rock is such a awesome dude! We had so much fun just mowing the
lawn all day. He taught me a lot about asking good questions and how to
be just gritty. It was also very funny because we taught a guy that
moved to a house that Elder Hamblin and I tracted so that was sick!
The baptismal dates we have are from Wednesday!
Keep them in your prayers. They are solid and I can't wait to see them
get dunked on Wednesday. It was pretty quick trying to get all the
things situated plus getting reports for the mission. It was a super
busy week but that made it go by that much faster.
As a missionary I have recommitted to just talking to every person we
see. Even if they are like a ways away. That is actually helped our area
a lot more with new investigators. We were headed on home for lunch on a
very busy road. Out of nowhere this woman came out to check her mail.
She stopped for us and started talking and she was super nice. She
starts tellings us how she stopped going to church because it was so
confusing. We taught her the great apostasy and she was down with us
coming back over! It was pretty cool. The Lord puts people in your path
if you are willing and ready to work.
That is about it. Have a blessed week y'all!
Love, Elder Q
