Monday was a pretty relaxed day, we went bowling and did some shopping, so that's about it. Elder Smith and I also bought matching suits! Elder Tabler will be buying his soon, so we will all be matching haha.
Tuesday we tried doing some finding, since we didn't have any lessons with our investigators. We didn't have much luck, but a couple people said we could come back later.
Wednesday, was a great day. We had a zone training, from our zone leaders, about real intent. They talked a lot about how we have to give our whole effort, having faith that we will find that people will listen to our message. It was powerful training, that we all took a lot from it. Afterward, we had a couple hours to find, but no luck.
Thursday, we had district leader training from President and Sister Jaggi, that was also super good. They talked a lot about the importance of the book of Mormon, and how Jesus Christ is the foundation that we need to build upon. It was a super long meeting, that took most of the day, so I'm definitely just summarizing it haha, but it was great. That night we had an amazing lesson with Manuel, and put him on date for baptism for the 14th of October!
Friday we had a lot of service, and some more finding. I also got to provide Manuel with some service, and mow his lawn for him! We also went around trying to find ways into the apartments that we cover, so we could knock them. We found some members willing to buzz us in, so that was good!
Saturday was amazing! Our entire zone got together in our area for a Zone Blitz! Basically we went to all different spots in our stake, and just knocked doors for 3 hours. We had quite a bit of success! We found 2 new potential investigators, and had like 4 return appointments! We also had another lesson with Manuel that night, teaching him about the Word of Wisdom. We brought Elder Delgado with us, who has been serving an addiction recovery mission for over 10 years. He was very receptive to the lesson, and committed to following it to prepare for his baptism.
Sunday, Manuel came to church! We were super nervous he wasn't going to make it, because of his health problems, and not being able to leave his home, but he said he was willing to do whatever, so he came! He enjoyed it a lot, and he's super prepared.
That's all I have for this week! It's going super well here in Ogden. I'm starting to love my new area a lot, and we're finding those that are prepared for the restored gospel! I hope you all have a good week, love you!
