3️⃣6️⃣3️⃣

Happy one year mark to me!! In 2 days it will be one years since I left.

Like I mentioned in the last letter that this week was gonna be slow
and it was because of all the meetings that we had, I think it was
like 5 and they lasted for a pretty long time but I learned a lot from
them, there's this one meeting that was focused on technology and how
we can better use our iPads and skype and Facebook to have more
success as missionaries to spread the gospel, it really opened up my
mind and gave me some good suggestions on how I can better use those
tools to help others come closer to Christ, in the meeting they said
that like almost 1/2 the people in the world have access to Internet
and these days it's so easy to share something about the church on
social media all we have to do is click some buttons it's as easy as
that.

Our investigators are doing good, Edwin and Teresa are so cool, we had
a lesson with them on Monday and we were planning on talking about
tithing but then Edwin just had a whole bunch of questions and it just
ended up being a Q&A for like 40 minutes but we were able to teach
them more about the plan of salvation because that's what he mainly
had questions on. They have a testimony of this gospel but they have a
difficult work schedule and so they can't come to church, they have
been before but not since I got here, so out goals with them are to
come to church and to get married because they are also not married
and they have a kid, we are actually having a FHE at a members house
tomorrow night and we are gonna talk about families, I'm pretty
excited for that.

Something I have become good at is teaching the restoration lesson
because that's pretty much the only lesson we get to teach before the
person disappears or is no longer interested, we have found a couple
of people that we have set return appointments for so we'll see how
that turns out.

Had 2 investigators at church this week so that was pretty cool, it
was a daughter of a couple that we teach and her friend, I think they
enjoyed it and learned a lot, we have a lesson with them this week so
hopefully all 7 of them can come to church, that would be sweet.

The sacrament meeting was pretty long because the 3rd speaker started
to talk at like 2:15 and church is suppose to be over at 2 so we
didn't end up finishing until 2:45, so we had extra 45 minutes of
church, I'm not complaining because it's more time that our
investigators spend at church but you could just see that everybody
was ready to go.

Excited to see what this week brings.

Love,

Elder Pugmire
