Hey everyone, this week has been pretty good. It has also been pretty challenging, the situation that we are in in our area Melbourne east, It's a finding situation so we're trying to find people to teach and trying to find those less actives that are willing to hear from us. But as we keep working faithfully I know we will be able to find people. Tuesday I went on exchanges with Vieira, Elder Penfold came down to my area and we had a pretty successful day. We decided to go knock the richest houses in Melbourne hah. We talked to this way cool lady and she might be interested in the church. Plus we got like a water bottle at every house. we tried to meet with some different less actives and did some contacting in the park. Wednesday we had district meeting, district meeting went really good one thing that really stuck out to me. Was Elder Lauritzens training, he gave a training on how we can use the Book of Mormon more effectively in our teaching. Elder Booth also gave a way good training he talked about the importance of meaning what we say when we are praying and making our prayers more from the heart and not repetitive. we also had a lesson With Brother H, I love this guy he is so great. we taught him the importance of the plan of salvation and having that knowledge can really help us in our lives. We also had him teach us back the plan of salvation and he did a really good job, he probably taught it more simply then I did haha. Thursday we picked up a new investigator which got me pumped, I'm so excited going forward and she was super interested in what we had to tell her. Her name is K. and she is just super open and wants to learn more. We were trying to follow up on a less active, and K. answered the door and said that the lady that we were looking for moved out, but she wanted to know what we were here for and wanted to know more about the church. So we taught her the restoration. It went really good, and I can't wait to teach her more this next coming week. Friday was weekly planning. But after we planned we decided to make a bunch of chocolate chip cookies and go deliver them to less actives. Sister L, One of our less actives has stopped talking to us and won't answer our phone calls so I wanted to give her cookies to see how she was doing and she answered the door and she looked really mad and gave me a evil look until I gave her some cookies haha, so I learned that sometimes we just need to make a good impressions on people and show them that we really care about them before they will care to give us some of there time. Saturday we went and did some service for the sweetest little old lady, she is a recent convert in our ward and she just loves the missionaries she thinks so highly of us and she's always willing to take care of us. She loves to feed us and she's always giving us food to take home. It was nice to do something back for her. Sunday was a good day, it was fast Sunday so I didn't have much energy haha. But it was really good and we were able to teach some lessons, we also met with the B's, it has been a while but it went really good. We just talked about the importance of coming to church and partaking of the sacrament and what it does for us each week as we take the sacrament. I had a pretty good week and I'm excited going into the next one I hope all of you guys have a great week love ya and miss you all. Elder Gentry FOM
