Hey y'alls
I hope you all are doing good. Mom thanks for the package and the e-mails and the letters. Sorry this is coming on Wednesday our preperation day got moved to Wednesday this week because of the fact my zone had a large service project helping assemble IKEA furniture all morning and till the early afternoon. That was fun and uplifting. The new furniture is there for all of the new missionaries and the apartments thathey have to find for them. We are receiving 37 new missionaries this coming transfer and by this summer i believe we are supposed to be at 250 missionaries from 180. So the areas and zones are up in the works for all these boundry changes. The only sure thing is that i will get a new companion because my current one is going home at the end of this transfer, which by the way ends next week.
Something else that is new and cool is that we have started in conjunction with the new chinese program a English class in our area to use it as a finding tool. We are hoping that this will help us find these people beacuse they tend to be scattered about and not centralized like other places. It is going well we have had some success. This being our first actual week of it We have had a few non-members and members show up. not much but a few.
Yesterday was an amazing day we had two tendermercies from God because we followed the plan and really tried to follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost. First was our plan was to go and contact members for their birthdays (which we had been doing already) but this time we were going to sit down and actually talk to them about who they knew who would benefit from learning and hearing our message and we got some good refferrals because of that. Ones we will be able to follow up on and hopefully pursue. The second is that we went to contact a Less Active. For some reaon my companion who has been here in the area for a really long time and know it fairly well got turned around and we endedup at her house first instead of going to someone else. She wasn't home at the time.
However, we did run into her neighbor and had a really good conversation with him and an invitation to come back.
We also had the oppurtunity to host a mini-missionary from another stake for the weekend. He is 16 and it was a lot of fun as we took him around and did our work from tracting to contacting dinners to having extend a baptisimal invitation. He really looked and talked like he enjoyed it. I hope so because it was a good weekend for us. (I also got to speak a little russian with a member from russia who fed us Sat. night)
Well, that is alll for now.
Love Elder Craner
