Hey everyone this week was great! We are teaching a whole lot more and we have a lot more investigators! When we first got to the area we were barely teaching 10 lessons a week and now this past week we taught 25 so things are definitely picking up for sure!
Last Wednesday we had exchanges and Elder Schroeder came to my area and we had An awesome day and saw lots of miracles.
We made it a goal to talk to 20 people that day, we talked to 17 and got two potentials out of it and added two new investigators named Mike and Nancy! How we met Mike and Nancy was actually really cool. We went to a less active family's house and the male wasn't home but the wife said he should be back soon so we told her we would come back in 15 minutes. So we walked away and we were debating on knocking on some doors because it was 7:30 which is kinda late for Ramona, everyone usually shuts down at like 6pm. But we prayed about it and we were like eh what the heck the worst that will happen is that they will yell at us. So the first door we knocked on we met Mike and we asked if we could share a message and he was like sure! So he let us in and it was crazy because his wife walked in the room and didn't ask any questions and sat down and listened to it was pretty awesome!
Thursday was pretty awesome. We started the day by meeting as a zone to play football at 6:30 am. After that we had studies and then we had a zone thanksgiving lunch. The funny thing is that we set our zone lunch like it was a fancy thanksgiving dinner. We even had one of the elders play piano as everyone else walked in haha.
After that we had dinner with a recent convert and his family. Then we went and visited with some people that were spending the holidays by themselves.
Saturday we had a really good day we stopped by the Burns family to have a lesson with them and they told us that they couldn't do it today because he had to go fill sand bags because of recent flooding that happened here. So we offered to help him and we ended up filling like 100 sand bags which was A LOT haha. Afterwards we were able to have a lesson with them too!
On Sunday the new video for the church came out called A Savior is Born. The mission office gave us special pass along cards for it and we brought them all to church to try and invite members to hand them out. They took pretty much all of them haha. It was awesome!
That's pretty much it for this week! Things are going well here in Ramona! Love you guys!
Love,
Elder Chris LaRochelle
