Week 11 Another week in Maldonaldo

So this was the last week of my first change in the mission. To be completely honest nothing crazy or spectacular has happened this past week. Me and E. Harkness have still been trying to meet with Federico who is our golden investigator and his mom said that he is having a really hard time cause he is wanting to quit his job because he hasnt been able to make it to church the past couple weeks cause his job keeps him very busy. We are really hoping to meet with him this week because we only need to have two more lessons with him and have him attend one more sacrament meeting before he can be baptized. We have however been receiving a lot of references and are hoping to contact many of them this week because the best investigators are the ones who have a friend or family member who is in the ward.

Our zone leaders who live with us really killed it this change however. Like I said about member missionary work they were able to baptize four people last change who were references through the members. They led the whole mission in baptisms this change so always remember to use the members as much as possible with finding investigators.

I would encourage all of you to get the book "Tracting and Member Missionary Work" whether you are a missionary or not.
My ZL Elder Gehring lended it to me and me and my comp read it and it has been helping us a lot with our contacting.

Anyway so my comp and I are really hoping to find some good investigators this change and to hopefully help Frederico reach baptism this change.

Thank you all for your support and hope you have a good week!
