Well, another week has gone by! It was another very simple week, but we had some pretty good experiences.

 

On Tuesday, we went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders. Elder Anderson and I went to a very small town south of Hillsboro and tracted most of it. We met some interesting people, and we will try following up with them probably this week. On Wednesday, we went to the office. I worked on some new ideas that President Clark suggested, and from what I heard, he loved it! There are a lot of changes happening in the Office, because the Keller's are leaving. It's going to be hard, replacing them, but we have a new couple here, who served as Mission President prior, so they should be very good.

 

Thursday we did service, and also found 2 new investigators. They were referrals from Crystal City. Friday, we had District Leader Zone Leader Council. We are starting a new effort this week to change the Member missionary program in each of our wards. The goal is to build something that can sustain past the efforts of the missionaries. It's called Member Madness, to go with March Madness. There are indicators that we have that if we get, we get points and we are challenging the other areas in the zone. It's going to be a lot of fun! We started, in preparation, yesterday and it was pretty successful, so we are looking forward to what could happen.

 

Saturday, we painted a basement an awful yellow. They were like, ugh maybe we should have picked a different color lol. Immediately afterward, we drove to Arnold for a baptism....yes covered in ugly yellow paint. We cleaned up when we got there, but it was kinda funny :)  

 

Sunday was our day of interest. We did a ton of member visits, and then ended it with a lesson at a referral from Fenton. His name was Greg, and it went pretty well. He is Lutheran and is trying to wrap his head around what we shared. We have another appointment with him, and if he's read the Book of Mormon, maybe something amazing will happen :)

 

Last thing, Rick Anconetani is getting baptized in Weldon Spring in 2 weeks...I am absolutely so excited! Hopefully everyone at home will be too. Rick is Niki's husband, and it's been a long road(not incredibly long, but long) to where he is at, but I plan on being there.

 

This week is going to be a good one! We are excited to get to work! I love you all!
