New Finding Ideas

Last week went really slow. We had an exchange without warning which was annoying but at least I didn't lose anything. We also had some service witch went pretty good. It took a long time clearing up this guy's back garden but it looks better now and we have another appointment to come back. We were going to have Sam's baptism this Saturday in between sessions of stake conference but the bishop said to move it back to next week because we wouldn't be able to confirm him the next day. But that will give us more time to prepare him and make sure he's ready. I can't really think of much else to say but we've met a few new investigators and had a few lessons cancel as usual. We met for the second time with a lady named Adjoa. She really likes the lessons and understands them surprisingly well, but she talks a lot and it's hard to stay on topic. She also seems unwilling to change religions for now.

We were asked to try new finding ideas and that lead to many of the appointments we had last week. The list that my companion and I came up with consisted of many different kinds of events that would require much planning. We didn't have much time to plan these events so we simply decided to switch up our approaches. It was mostly just asking a simple question like "what makes you happy?" or "what is your view on religion today?" but we also tried simply going around asking for service opportunities witch led to the garden clearing activity we had last week.
