So this week started off super slow...the reason being because we went door knocking the first three days, and we literally found almost no success. We went to a place where missionaries had never been and it was for good reason...pretty much only hindu and muslim homes...but we were diligent in continuing so we found some potentials.
Then in the second half of the week, we exploded with
awesome stuff. We found 10 new investigators again! We found a new family
of 5 that is awesome, thanks to Rithik who introduced them to us, because they
are his family. we found a guy who recently moved here and is looking for a
church to go to, and another guy who is having a leadership position in his
church, and then a few part members and stragglers. It was awesome!
We also had 5 investigators come to church this week. Bavitha didn't come,
but her son and daughter came with was awesome as well as Rithik, and a new guy
named Anish and also sister Reena the Hindi sister.
As far as hindi goes i am still learning but slowly...it is
hard...but what might help is i began teaching an english class which
could get us more new investigators. And also most of the people that
attended only speak hindi, so i will learn hindi as i teach English, so it is
pretty cool.
Other than that this week was pretty routine. We ended
up having some pretty good success. We taught a couple skype lessons, and
those investigators are doing really well so that is great. We taught the
Ramesh Babu family once, but they didn't come to church because they went out of
town to Chennai, but they said next week for sure they are coming. so next week
we could have like 10 investigators at church...how awesome would that
be?
So yeah, my comp can be frustrating at times, but i try to
have as much fun and roll with it as much as possible and it helps.
Sometimes i have to take over a portion of the lesson and help him out, so because of that I am improving my teaching as well. but we
are improving hopefully and our lessons have been pretty effective lately. It is pretty fun being with
the assistants also, because president berrett expects their area and our area
to be the best two in the mission to give an example to the rest of the mission.
We really have to improve on teaching less actives though, as we didn't
teach any this week which was a bummer, so we are going to try and work better with
the less actives and the members.
Sounds like a great week for you guys as well which is
awesome! Glad you are doing so well! My emails are also getting a tad short
haha, but that is because i don't know what to say anymore! i hear this happens
to pretty much every missionary who has been out for almost a year and half...
Love you guys!!!
