Once again, we haven't had any new investigators. Now, its not because we don't try; whenever Elder Proffit and I get the chance, we go out and try tracting in one of our larger neighborhoods, knocking on as many doors as we can. Some people answer, and most that do are friendly, kind people, but who are also just not interested in hearing what we have to say. Now, I'm not saying that I'm hating my mission, nor am I saying that I'm hating the people in our area. But walking through huge neighborhoods, filled with young families looking for a great new start, and finding no one who is interested in what we have to say is both tiring, and just a tad bit tiring.
Elder Proffit doesn't seem all that worried though, and I can understand why. Some of the members in the ward have called us up since Sunday (yesterday), and told us they have friends or coworkers in the area that they would like to share our message with. Many of the people they called us about actually live on the western side of our ward, in the other missionarys' area. But, there have been some that live in both of our major neighborhoods; Timnath and Ptarmigan. So, hopefully we'll be able to see more action than we have this last week.
That is, if we're able to get up on time. But with Ward Council meetings at 7:00 in the morning on Sunday, and personal study time at 8:00 in the morning every other day of the week, it'll be a miracle if Elder Proffit and I don't both pass out from over-exertion and lack of sleep! However, despite my grumbling and mumbling, I have to admit that the ward is filled with kind, nice people who really honestly want to help us out with our missions. So, at least this isn't all done in vain, right?
Hope to see you all again in 705 days, and talk to you again next Monday!
--Elder Z.S.Weber
