I hope you all had a fantastic week! I appologize for my crappy email last week, we did not have a lot of time because we went to Zion National Park with a member family! It was so much fun and I have decided that I am definitly going to go there again sometime after my mission.
Not a lot happened this week. We have been spending quite a bit of time trying to find more people to teach. So far, it has yielded no fruit, but we have seen so many miracles. I would like to share one of them.
It was near the end of a long day and we were doing some of our weekly planning. After doing about 1/3 of our planning, I felt as though something was wrong. I was confused and so I was about to pray and ask when I felt that, though what we were doing was good, it was not where we needed to be. I jumped right up and told my companion that we needed to head out to the edge of our area and talk to some leadership in one of our wards. My companion was confused because the temperature was about 95 outside and we were in the middle of planning, but I was already up and leaving so he had no choice but to follow.
As we ride down to the edge of our area, we tried to contact some of the people we had planned. None of them answered. I was confused because I knew that the Lord had led us to this area and so I wasn't ready to give up quite yet. I saw of group of people talking and so we went up and just started talking to them. They were all members, one of which was less active. As we got talking to him, he told us about his neighbor who had her sister living there and she was not a member. We decided we had nothing else to do, so we stopped by. This girls name is Summer. As we got talking to her, she said that she was really interested in having us come by and teach her. I don't yet know if this will lead to anything, but I know that the Lord is directing this work.
Other than the cool miracles, we had our interviews with our mission president. This is possibly the last time I will see President Smith on the mission, maybe ever. It was very bitter sweet.
Anyway, I hope you all have a great week!
Elder Francis
