Howdy,
This week was pretty crazy for sure! Before this week I thought Facebook finding was dumb, I would never do it I would just make phone calls. However, we had a training on Facebook finding and so I decided to give it a go. I joined the local running group and asked everyone for good places to run and then kept talking and eventually I was able to start teaching one of them! He's so cool! He used to be on the swat team and now he's a firefighter. He also really likes running. Facebook finding is very stressful because you have to talk to them for a while and develop a relationship before bringing up the gospel or they will just ghost you (sometimes they still will). It is hard because after talking back and forth for a while you are pals and it's really sad if they say they don't want to talk to you anymore, but if they say yes it's the most amazing thing of all time.
I'm so glad I'm a missionary and not a parent because I watched a parent pick their child's poop up off the floor with a paper towel this week and it was gross.
Sunday night the STL's sent a message to the zone saying that the mission was only 15 people short of a mission record for people found in the week, and we had 3 hours to try and break the record. In the next 3 hours, our district found 19 people (we found 2 of those for a total of 4 last week). It was such an awesome experience! We raised the mission record for people found in a week from 146 to 197! I think it's cool how much urgency can increase results. Now we just have to find out how to urgently find all the time...
Today we went to Perfect North - the local "ski resort" to look around. It is very small compared to Utah. We counted and it took people about 27 seconds to get from the top of the hill to the bottom. It made me wish I had done more skiing at home though because it looked fun.
Overall a great week! I'm so grateful to be a missionary for God's true church on the earth! Have an awesome week! Stay warm! (A member told us we will be -25 to -40 degrees next week 🥶)
Keep Striving!
