P-Day 55 - Zone Conference, Record Keeping and Do Your Home/Visit Teaching!!!

Zone Conference - August 2017 - Hamilton, Ontario
This week has been a busy week for us. We have been working really hard on helping the Ward with retention and on updating records. This gives us a really good opportunity to open our mouths to people in the Ward.  This week we were able to look at our referral manager and found that we had five non-contacted referrals or they were contacted and the system was just not updated. We have been working on getting the referral manager updated so that we can use the manager effectively. From all this work, we were able to find a new investigator this week. We went to a name from the referral manager named Cory. As we called him on the intercom, he answered and in talking to him, he had expressed interest in meeting with us. I knew all the hard work would pay off in some way. I am also seeing the importance of records keeping because when the records are kept up to date, then people are able to pick up where you left off but if they are not, then someone has to update them. We have made a lot of progress with the referral manager and helping the Ward. We also were able to give a blessing to a member of the Ward this week. When we left, he seemed not fully healed but feeling at peace. It is a big blessing to serve a mission.

I am doing good. I have been a counselor for a member in the ward who has been dealing with some anxiety. She has been having problems and when she does, she calls me and by the time we are done talking she is calm and ready to face the challenges. She asked yesterday while we were talking “could you be a little more serious” and all I could reply was “no, if I was serious then something would be wrong!” HAHA!

I have been running the area and getting things set and doing all the paperwork. It has been a long busy week.

I have found that it is important that the members do more in missionary work. The Missionaries need your help.  The other half of missionary work is of the records keeping and has been with the Ward list and we have found about 35 people have moved from the current address and some don't have numbers to contact them. When people don't do home teaching and visiting teaching, then people fall through the cracks! I challenge everyone to do your Home Teaching and Visit Teaching, It really helps!

Remember I Love You & Pray for you Every Night & Day!
