Life keeps on going on for us out here. We had a lot of appointments cancel this week because people are sick with the flu. We still taught 8 lessons even though I had the flu for a bit! 5 of them were RCLA's and 3 were Member Presents! The mission had a change up in how we report our numbers so lessons taught to an investigator without a member (otherwise known as "Other Lessons") don't count anymore. We also don't count referrals anymore either. That will take a bite out of our numbers because last week, 1/2 of our lessons were other lessons! This change is supposed to make us focus on working with members more (which is always a struggle) which will bring blessings I am sure.
We had to push back our date with our investigator because he will be out of town from the 18th to the 6th, and with a baptismal date on the 7th that just won't work! We still have a lot to teach him and there just isn't enough time. That, and he has to be interviewed at least a week before his baptism so that would be a problem as well. He is still enthusiastic so we will be working on getting him reset with a date.
I have had enough of it getting dark so early. It is 4:26 as I write this and it is almost entirely dark. Makes proselyting hard!
Anyway, that is about it! We are still chugging along and doing out best! Have a great week!
Love y'all!
