Tracting (Week 89)

Well this week was another week. Yay. Haha it was actually pretty solid. I say that every week, but it's the truth. Sunday the 6th was a good day of work. There is this neighbourhood in our area that is a little newer than everywhere else. It was in the back of my mind for a place to go tract. We have since gone there to start finding.

Literally the first door we knocked on the dude asked if he could be baptized! Just kidding haha that would have been cool, but what actually happened was this really excited dog came running out the door and started jumping all over us. I love dogs. This one was very happy to see us but would not pay heed to its owner to come back inside. I was also urging the dog back inside but he wasn't having it. So I started taking small steps towards the door and as he was jumping over me, he slowly got to the door. I kept moving until I was in the house and halfway through the hallway leading to the door. Legendary. Sadly the people didn't want to hear a message.

On another occasion we knocked a door, and this dog started barking violently and came and body slammed the door. Then it starting biting at the mail slot in the door really hard until it had ripped off the mail slot with his teeth. It was the most terrified and impressed I have ever been. That person wasn't interested either.

Just yesterday I got to go tracting with my old companion, Elder Olsen, in my old area, Kidderminster. It was a party. We found this neighbourhood where just about everyone was insanely nice, which is uncommon for Kidderminster haha. We found great success there and found several people who invited to come back. We offered many if we could share a brief message of hope.

Sorry if my emails are starting to suck. The weeks are kind of just blending together and if I don't write things down then I forget a lot of details haha. Anyway, I love you all :) have a solid week
