This week was pretty cool, we got ten new Chevy Malibus for the mission and they are in Maryland. So elder Moran and I got to drive out with the driving coordinator and we got to drive some Malibus back to the mission office from Maryland. The Malibu was super cool, it even has a star wars hologram on the dash that displays your speed and stuff.
We went to our trunk or treat this Saturday and we dressed up in our costumes. I just wore my service Carhartt pants and a flannel and walked around with an axe. Elder Moran turned a sheet into a hood and had a beard to be Gandalf. We got to be judges for the chili cook off which was pretty cool. The one that I judged highest ended up winning. There was some super good chili. Elder Moran and I made a chili but we couldn't have it judged. We made a white chicken chili, there was none left when we went to pick up the crockpot.
There is a ton that happened this week but not much to really write home about. We are doing a lot of work in the office making pictures of the missionaries for the senior couples, and also running around the mission giving missionaries furniture and taking old broken stuff away.
This week we have been visiting more members so we can get to know the ward and get referrals. We only had one dinner last week, so we are thinking the ward needs to see us more often. We share a quick message and try to make return appointments with the ward members, most of them like us a lot I think. Unfortunately our investigator Don dropped us, his wife is sick and he is spending time with her, but he said not to forget about him, maybe he will want to investigate more in the future. We just need to find time where he is available. Elder Moran and I are wanting to find a lot more, it's hard in an area with only homes and nowhere to really go street contact. People don't like tracting after dark so we try not to randomly tract then. Our goal is to have some investigators that we regularly visit and teach a few people. As a mission we are making a goal to find 531 people in a week and a half. Last time we reached it, but we are doing it in preparation for our mission tour. We actually have a second mission tour that's coming up, elder Neil Anderson is coming to the mission, I'm a little bit nervous to set up for the presentations he has. Should be fun...
Hope you have a great week. Would love to hear from some of you.
