Seventy Nine Weeks

Hello Everyone!

This has been a busy week. It has been cold and very rainy, and I have been a little sick, but we have been enjoying life all the same. We are working a lot on finding new people to teach, and so this week we basically just spent contacting (knocking on doors, etc.) and speaking with as many people as we could. Thus, there is not that much to share, but there were two contacts that we had this week, one right after the other that both made me laugh a little, so here is how they went:

Contact 1:
-We knocked on the door of a house and a man opened his window to talk with us. He said sister missionaries had visited him before, so we had hopes to visit with him as well. The following conversation was after talking with him for about 30 seconds already.-

Us: Can we come in and share this message with you?
Man: Forgive me, but right now no.
Us: In a different moment then?
Man: No, no. That's why I asked forgiveness - because I am going to close the door.
-Closes the window-

Contact 2:
-We saw a couple of young people sitting outside eating lunch, so we decided to go up and try to talk with them. The following took place (with them starting to talk to us before we even had the chance to speak with them).-

Them: Not right now.
Us: Oh sorry, busy eating lunch?
Them: Yes.
Us: Oh, what a bad moment.
Them: No, what a good moment!

Other than that, there is not all that much new though to be completely honest. This next week is going to be busy with interviews and trainings all over the mission with President Resek, and so we will see what comes of that. I hope you all have a good week though, and love you all!

Love,
Elder McCollum
