Hard things

Hi everyone!

  This last week has been fairly good, and there's been a few interesting happenings. Lets see...

  On Tuesday we had our usual Open Church / Distict Meeting day. It was good, though, and we played a fun vocab game where we point to pictures of words on the White board. I took the idea from my old highschool french class. It was fun. Anyways, then in the evening we had ward council. It wasn't too exciting; we just talked about upcoming activities and how we could help some of the ward members and such.

  On wednesday we had a pretty good meeting with our investigator, A. we chatted for a while and then talked some about baptism and how she feels about it. All in all, she seems fairly positive, and is just waiting a little bit. And we had a pretty fun time visiting with her and everything. It was good. 

  On Saturday we had a fireside where a recently returned missionary gave a presentation about his mission. He largely just talked about the people that he was able to baptise and how happy he was for them. Which was nice.

 I feel like one of the hardest things about a mission for me is just working so much with people. It is sometimes a bit frustating when investigators don't keep commitments or you have to work with someone (companion, ward member, investigator, etc.) you don't really get along with. And I don't really feel like I'm the most... sociable person, so it's kind of just hard making myself talk to people. But at the same time, it is fairly rewarding working with people as well, because it's cool seeing them become better people. And it's also kind of fun making new friends all over the place.

  Hope you have a great week!
