March 9, 2015

So Monday: we went and hung with the Carters, cause there isn't a lot for missionaries to do in Beattyville. Then we went and had a lesson where we had to drop a guy because he just isn't showing any interest and hasn't been keeping our commitments. Then we went and Saw Our baptismal date where we had all of the confusing stuff with which parent had custody but he decided he didn't know enough to be baptized and we read out of the Book of Mormon with him. Tuesday: we took the Carters out to one of our appointments and the lady wasn't home so we went and tried a less active with them that ignored us.. Then we had lunch, then we went and talked with this other Investigator he have been having trouble getting in contact with him, and he was outside and he said that they were just getting ready to leave for Florida for a couple weeks. Then we went and tried a few others that weren't answering probably asleep, tried a member and a less active that were asleep, then we went and had a good conversation with two other Less active members. Then we went and saw another Less active couple. Wednesday: we went up to Campton with the Caputo's and it was pouring rain! It Rained all day! and we had all Sorts of Flood Warnings! Then we came back to Beattyville and saw this girl that we have been teaching and we talked about baptism and what she has been thinking about it. she hadn't so we read from the Book of Mormon.  Thursday: we were supposed to have District meeting but the mission Shut down the Cars for the day due to all the snow we got today but we had flooding in our main street! It was crazy how much water we had pooled up! Friday: we Tried these investigators but the husband has shut us out! So we went and Saw our Baptism date that fell through and read out of the Book of Mormon with him. Then we had Dinner with the Carters. A long with a bunch of Tracting today. Saturday: we did Weekly Planning due to all of the confusion with what was going on with the weather. then we went back up to Campton and tired a bunch of people they have come in contact with in the past, and none were home, but while we were walking down the road Talking with people and knocking doors we met this super cool family!!! That are interested in Family History. Then we went and was gonna see this less active we were supposed to see the other day when we were restricted from our car and we also ran into another girl that we have been trying to get into contact with that is a less active, so That was a good deal! Then we went and had another lesson with the girl that we have been asking and talking about baptism and she said that she has been thinking a lot about baptism and said that she thinks she would like to be baptized! and she said but i don't know what to do now and we were like well keep praying and reading the Book of Mormon and the next step is to come to church! and re-invited here to Church.  Then after the lesson we had parked at a less active house that is off the oil instead of in a hole where she lives and we went in and talked with him and finally met his two grandsons that we have been trying to meet for the past month! Sunday: we had church and on the second Sundays of every month Beattyville Branch has a pot luck right after church so we stayed and had some super awesome food! Then we went and tried some people that have potential but none were home. but we did catch one and she said that we can't meet her at home so we would have to call her and set up a time during her lunch time to have a lesson with her. Then we hurried and talked about the restoration Pamphlet that we had left with him and he had read the whole thing and was interested to learn more and he apologized for not reading the Book of Mormon yet! so we will see the next time we meet with him how the reading is going! Then we had Dinner with the Carters. I love Sisters Carter Cooking!! 
Love,
