Investigators

First week in Cedar Rapids down!! I have learned that this is a blessed place with a lot of AWESOME people! Great Ward and people to talk to!

Tuesday:

We finally got into our apartment, we moved the Zls in to there new apt and then Elder and Sister Martin a senior couple took us all out to Pizza Ranch for lunch! Pizza Ranch is a lot like Pizza Pie Cafe, except some different pizzas, and they have Ice Cream!

Wednesday:

We have Zone Exercise in the mornings, so we all go to the Stake center and play ball or frisbee so that’s fun!  We also had District meeting after that. We also had our first lesson with Rosie, Sis Gardners friend that has been coming to church. She is so awesome and so Prepared! We can’t wait for her to progress to Baptism.

Thursday:

Went by some formers and did a lot of knocking

Friday:

Found some awesome Former Investigators that want to start learning again! Also a lot of knocking and New Investigators.

Saturday:

We did some service for Bro and Sis Novak and helped them in their yard. Then lots of knocking. Saturdays are rough tho, Cause no one is home! You would think they would be, but no one was around! Same with Sundays.  

Sunday: We had Ward Council and then Church. Great time at Church, sadly no investigators there yet, but next week!  

Training has been great, my boy is pretty prepared so he is catching on quickly. Except for the sleep part, he has been exhausted lately. haha Since we’re both new to the area we have had some long days knocking doors. I wouldn't say long, they all go by so fast. We also found 10 new investigators this week. Quite a while ago I stopped asking people if they were interested and just start teaching the Restoration. If their really not interested then they will interrupt us, or if they're not prepared. This way we teach instead of knock haha. My voice hurts at the end of the day because everyone we talk to we’re teaching. TEACH TEACH TEACH, it’s the most important thing. If someone is not interested at the end of the lesson, then it is still such a bigger seed planted then just asking if they’re interested at the first. So things are great out here, my boy is catching on quick with all this teaching, we now have a lot of investigators to try to work with so this week hopefully we can follow up with all the return appointments and get people to church.

I hope you're all super excited for General Conference, on my mission I actually listen to it so I found out its awesome! haha I invite you all to watch it with a Question that you want answered. I definitely am going to. I can’t wait!  

Love you all! Elder Anderson

I gave my Boy a fresh cut!  hahaha
