Well, this last week was an odd one. Not a whole lot exciting happened.
There was a good bit of rain and storms again, which has at least cooled
things down a bit. I say this week was odd because the results were
much different than our plans. During our planning for the week, we had
decided to really focus on strengthening the members of the viet
branch and to focus on finding and teaching investigators in the english
area that we have. We made a lot of plans and efforts to meet with
recent converts and less-active members in the branch. Though as it
turned out, we didn't end up meeting with any. And to add to that, we
didn't end up teaching any investigators in the english area. That was
really odd, and we're not entirely sure how that happened.
We did find a very nice viet family the other day. We were going
through Sugar Land (higher wealth area) which would normally mean a
little more rejection and a little less success. But as things go, one of
the first few houses that we came to we met a nice viet man that talked
to us for a moment then invited us right inside. He was pretty in awe
that we spoke viet (we are kinda used to that by now). He gave us some
water and we talked for a bit. Eventually his wife joined us. They are
both Catholic, though he was Buddhist (he converted to Catholicism to
marry her). We had a good discussion and they wanted to read the Book of
Mormon.
This week we will have a special zone conference with the Saylins.
They go home next week. So next week we will have another special zone
conference and we will meet President and Sister Ashton and family.
Things are certainly going to be interesting these next couple of weeks
as we make the transition.
Hope you all enjoyed your holiday! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Phong Manhardt
