It was a tough week! We have totally spent the last 4 days having all our investivators drop out on us. No one was making appointments, members weren't willing to help us, and we spent all of our time knocking on doors and having them slammed in our faces. One time Elder Moore told a lady to have a nice day and she said " I hope you fall and break your head!" Needless to say, she wasn't willing to be taught the lessons. We also had one of our favorite families from the ward tell us that Marie, the old lady German investigator with the bamboo, was just taking advantage of us, and they weren't willing to have her in their home. All we wanted was for the father to tell her how he made the step from being catholic to being mormon. She comes to church every Sunday, she's only been investigating for 2 months, and she keeps all her commitments. Her only problem is that she grew up catholic, and this man wants us to drop her. Lets just say that I wasn't too happy that one of my favorite families basically stated that they don't trust me and aren't willing to help.
Elder Moore decided to go through the area book and see if there were any old investigators that we could pick up. By this time, we were having no success knocking over 6 hours a day. The area book has old information on what other missionaries have done in the area. We checked some out and found 2 new investigators while doing it. The Lord really blessed us."
