🎯

This has been a really good week, last Saturday was by far the best
day of this cycle.  We might have taught more lessons in that one day
then we did the previous two week, and that's no a exaggeration, we
had like a whole two lessons taught the last two weeks and then this
Saturday we taught like 5 lessons and picked up 4 new investigators,
we don't know how legit they are yet but we have return appointments.

Sunday we had a way good lesson with this one kid, his name is Matthew
we knocked on his door because he was a referral from some other
missionaries but when he opened the door he said he has never known
any Mormons but he let us in, his friend was there too, so we taught
them the restoration and it was a super awesome lesson, we gave each
of them the Book of Mormon and told them to read and then two days
later we had another awesome lesson but just with Matthew and he read
from the Book of Mormon and we were able to answer his questions and
then we shared the Plan of Salvation with him and those two lesson
were so awesome we felt the spirit so strong, the issue with Matthew
though is that we invited him to get baptized and he declined it
because he said he was already baptized and he thinks baptism is weird
but I know that as long as we keep working with him and making sure
that he feels the spirit, then I know that he will make up his mind on
what he should do and that is to get baptized.

Yesterday we had a zone conference The Kingsbridge zone (us) and the
Westchester (in Yonkers) and it was a really good zone conference, we
mainly talked about how to better work with members so that they will
be excited and willing to do missionary work because right now we are
not getting any referrals or anything like that at all and the best
way to do missionary work is through members. This conference helped
me open my eyes and helped me understand how members feel and and what
they think about missionaries and what I can do better to help the
members. I love this area and this ward and the members here are
really awesome and they do so much for the missionaries already but
and I wanna do everything I can to help them be even better. I'm
grateful for this chance that I have to help other people and I know
as I help somebody out I feel the spirit more in my life and I feel
better and more happy.

Love,
Elder Pugmire

P.s happy late bday to Annie and early bday to Kierra and Ricky
