Hey Guys!

So this week has been pretty good.  On Tuesday, we had interviews with President Harris.  It was great.  We mostly just talked about the sector and things that we should do to find more people and help the branch.  He is such a great guy.  He gave me a lot of good ideas of things to start doing, so we’re going hard with that.  He also showed a ton of support for us, and he is really willing to help us.  It’s awesome.

We’ve also been kicking it up a notch on the service, as well as talking with everyone.  We have decided that every person we see working, we’re just going to go and help without asking.  It’s working well!  We have chopped firewood, cut grass, trimmed bushes, etc.  It’s giving us a lot of opportunities to introduce ourselves to the people, and also so that they can see us as nice people instead of just annoying people knocking on doors.

Overall, though, we are doing really good.  It’s tough work, the people are pretty hard and not really receptive (at least the ones we have met) but we’re going to keep going and trust that the Lord is preparing his children.

Have a great week!
