Sean's E-Mail....May 18, 2009

Hey Everyone,


Well, the first week has gone by here in my new area. I have to say that this week was pretty hard for me. We came in not knowing anyone, not knowing the area and having zero investigators. This week was really long because we didn't teach very much. We have gotten to know some of the members and we got a list this week of the less active members also. We will be doing a lot of work with the less active members to get us started. We will be looking to find new investigators through the less active families. We knocked on doors for a little bit this week but I quickly remembered why we don't knock on doors, it is not effective at all.


We will be working a lot with the members. The Ward here has in the lists about 700 members and the ward has an attendance of 40 or 50. We have a lot of work to do with reactivation. My companion is pretty interesting, he is a nerd but it's all good. We get along pretty well. Our area is huge, we got hooked up this week with some bikes, we did a lot of riding this last week. It is pretty hot though, riding in the sun. The house that we live in is pretty big....two bedrooms, a living room and a little study area, kitchen and bathroom. There are a lot of cockroaches in the house though. Well not a lot but we kill one or two every day.


As for the package goes dad, I can always use new ties, my socks are doing fine. If you do get some ties, I like the polyester ties (thick).


Thanks a lot for everything. I love you all and hope that you are all happy. Keep the commandments and always have in mind that we are preparing here to live in the Celestial Kingdom, not the Terrestrial or Telestial, so live a celestial life and enjoy the celestial happiness NOW.


Love,
Sean
