Finding New People

Thanksgiving was great! We had 3 dinner appointments that we had
scheduled for sure and we knew there was gonna be a lot of food so we
invited Elders Price and Salceda to join us because they don't have
members in their area that feed them. The first appointment was good I
was pretty hungry so we got there ate food shared a message and left.
The second appointment was also good we didn't eat food because we had
another appointment but Hermana Vega still made us eat something, she
gave us a whole bunch of ice cream cake, after the cake I was pretty
full and had no idea how I was gonna make it in the next appointment.
When we got to this next appointment with Hermana Katya the whole
table was filled with food and to make the story short I felt super
sick and super fat that night because of all the food I have eaten
that day but I'm gonna stop complaining because there are missionaries
like Scottie who don't any food for thanksgiving.

This past week we have been focusing on finding new people to teach
because we need more investigators and also because we went from
having 8 people with a baptismal date to only 1. I'm not sure what we
are doing wrong but we gotta make some changes.

So we have been doing ALOT of tracting and for some reason we haven't
been able to find the right people because nobody wants to hear what
we have to say.

This past Sunday the video "A Savior is Born" came out and we were
really pumped to share it with people at the door thinking that it
would make them more interested but so far no luck, but we will keep
trying our best and I know that we will find somebody who is really
interested and wants to learn more.

On Tuesday we had a really good lesson with Nicole (she is the only
baptism date we have right now) it was on the law of chastity because
she has a less active boyfriend and they just had a baby so in order
for her to be baptized they need to be married. It was my turn to lead
and guide the lesson. I have never had a lessons on the law of
chastity with anybody before so I was thinking to myself that it was
gonna be a little awkward and a little scary but when we got in the
house, we started out with a prayer and as soon as  the prayer was
over I immediately felt super awesome, and I didn't feel scared or
nervous and it was really cool to have a experience like that. I knew
it was the spirit and I felt it all through out the lesson and I'm
pretty sure that this lesson was the best lesson we had so far when I
was in charge of leading it.

This is it for this week sorry that it sounds like I complained a lot
but this is what actually happened and I didn't know what else to
write. I hope that everybody had a great thanksgiving (sounds like
everybody did) and I hope that the rest of this week goes well.
