Week Ten- Week 2 in Dover

June 22nd 2009

Hey everyone!
Well, I can't say that a lot has happened this week. So this might be a short update. The area is still pretty hard to find people to teach. We knock....and knock.....and knock....and talk....then knock some more but not much is coming out of it. BUT although our finding efforts have not been very good, the ward we are in is AMAZING!!! They are really all missionary focused and help us out in so many ways. They've given us a huge list of less-active families to visit so we spend a lot of our time trying to contact and teach these people. They are also very good at giving us referrels. Some we haven't been able to contact yet but I will let you know what comes out of these referrels. I am starting to think that this transfer will be one that we focus a lot on the less active families. A lot of them have nonmembers in there homes, so hopefully with a lot of faith and prayer, we'll be able to teach those nonmembers in the homes as well. Thats really what I'm hoping for!! haha, because our finding efforts are just not working!
Kind of a cool thing happened yesterday at church. A lady who used to live in the ward (but now lives in Nampa) came to visit and she brought a nonmember friend with her. She introduced us to her and we got to talk with her a little bit. We, of course, told her that we would LOVE to come visit her more in her home and teach her but she said she had to make sure it was ok with her husband first. She really seemed to be loving church though and soaking it all in. We asked at the end how she enjoyed it and she said she really liked it and that she "would see us again." So if that means at church, at some ward activity, or in her home we don't know. But hopefully we can teach her soon!!!!
I told you about how excited I was last week week to finally see fireflies! Well I'm still pretty excited about that! :) We were driving home one night on this road that had trees on both sides and over the top of us.....so it was like a tunnel of trees. And there were fireflies EVERYWHERE!!! Oh wow, it was probably one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! Or maybe in the top 10, haha.
Well I should probably get going now but thanks for everything you do for me!!! Thank you so, so much for all of your prayers!!! We are in desperate need of them right now! I love you all so, so much!!! Can't wait to hear from you next week :)
Love, Sister Holly LaMont
