Week 49 - July 7

what a week we had so many meetings this week not much work was done but we did all we could I also received a package form the Perkins family I loved the package and to answer the questions, We do a lot of street contacting and door knocking or clapping sometimes the don't have door bells or they don't work so we stand and clap at the door or fence just have to watch out for the dogs. Every area is different on have leaders weather we are in a branch or a ward that depends many have conducted sacrament meeting or music talks on many sundays in any or all parts of the church organizations I have even been in the nursery, the member area really great willing to help us with lessons, sometimes its hard to have their schedules match up to when we have appointments, bishops always want to help us in some way  the church is still pretty small here and like the states we have lots of Less actives and we really try to strengthen those in the ward or branches, we try to find service all the time usually we ask and everyone says no we kinda force it on them like we wash the dishes after we have eaten with the members they say no but we get up and go over, an Elder told us he would visit members look around for a service they might need then set a time to visit and come with p-day cloths, we want to serve but we get a lot of No, we really workin reactivating members as well as finding and teaching investigators. I know when we work in unity with the member we have success, member trust is the way to referrals the mission is hard but its the best thing I could have ever chosen trust the lord speak all you can and the lord will take care of the rest  and be willing to change because we change o the mission changes us if it doesnt you didn't learn anything. and that would be sad I'm grateful for everything i have learned and I know there is so much more i still don't understand yet but will you learn a lot in such a short time that is why its hard but ask anyone this is where we all love being in the service of the lord, I invite you to follow the spirit and tell the missionaries of your friends or you yourself be the friend that a less active may be needing at this moment.

I love you and promise that the lord will bless you with the strength you need to go on

I hope you all have a fantastic week

Love Hna Smith
