Hey Yall!!!
This week was pretty good for the most part if I remember correctly haha. We were hoping and praying for a fantastic weekend here in the Florence Team, im kinda sad to say that it was nowhere near what it should have been. In the Zone we had about 8 baptisms all lined up for this last Saturday so that we could hit the goal which we
had set of 11 baptisms. Things were looking pretty good except for the devil was really working hard on a lot of people because 6 out of those 8 people fell off the wagon. So were really bummed about that. But as a zone we were able to see 6 baptisms for the month of August which is a lot better than what has been happening in the past few months so were happy for that and at the same time bummed those others weren’t baptized. But the good news is they should be baptized in the month of September. We are really hoping and working for a “September to Remember” we just finished up with our “August Rush” so we are moving onward and upward. Haha and yes we did come up with those ourselves haha.

We have been trying to work with the members a lot more lately. The mission has come up with a pilot program where we go and teach the members the doctrine of Christ and then we help them to know how to answer questions that they get from their friends by role playing with them how to easily answer their questions and relate it back to the book of Mormon introducing them to us in a non threatening way. So we have been really trying to get this new program started by teaching the members. It has been a little bit of a slow start because we still have to teach all of our other investigators and find new investigators and then on top of all that to teach the members. But it has been really good. We had the opportunity yesterday being the fifth Sunday of the month we actually taught the combined class of everybody haha it was pretty much a second sacrament meeting it was pretty big. But it went really well we were able to watch a short movie about members sharing the gospel and talk about how important it is that every member is a missionary then we role played. Lots of people said that it went really good. I hope that it go them excited and less nervous to share the gospel with those around them. We are also working on another good way to get their friends neighbors etc… So on the 19th of September we are doing a big movie night where we will meet at the church that Sunday night and watch joseph smith the prophet of the restoration and then have a church tour. I think it will be a great time for the members to bring their friends and family and us to bring our investigators and have a good time learning about the church without all the pressure and what not of inviting us over to teach and stuff of course it will lead to that so we are excited!
We are working with some really cool people right not that we found this last week. Patrick is a roommate and friend of a member and he is a really cool guy we have taught him a little bit and he came to church and really liked it. We had a linger longer with a lot of food haha I think that we should have food every week we would get a lot more people there. We also got a less active family with some unbaptized children and non member friends there and I think they really liked it they should be back next week and hopefully we can baptize the kids and it will lead to more and more people joining the church. I love it when members share the gospel it brings more joy and happiness to the investigator and to the member there is no better way EVERY MEMBER A MISSIONARY!!!! So look for every opportunity to share the gospel to fellowship a less active anything pray for those oppoutunities and you will love what happens. I know I sure do. Well I think that’s all for this week folks, just a reminder my mailbox was really really lonely this week and would love some mail in itJ
