Samuel's Mission E-mail April 30, 2008

Everyone:
Wow... where did April go? Anyways, as you've probably guessed, today was our temple day. But I'll get to that in a second. Starting back on Tuesday:
On Tuesday, we had interviews con el Presidente, we tracted, and we worked on contacting some less-actives. On Wednesday, I was on splits in my area with Elder Thurston. We tracted a lot, and also worked on contacting less actives (notice a pattern?)
On Thursday, we had weekly planning, and then... that's right, we tracted and tried to contact less-actives. On Friday we had our district meeting, and--I 'm just going to copy and paste here--we tracted and tried to contact less-actives.
On Saturday, we did some service in the morning with the ward (we cleaned up some garbage along the sides of a busy intersection), and Rosie was there, and then in the afternoon we taught Rosie the Plan of Salvation! It went really well--she's progressing very well.
On Sunday we had church, and we tracted and tried to contact less-actives. Sunday was a very hot day, so we did more of the latter (which involves being in the air-conditioned car) than of the former. The weather has been kind of odd here recently--some days it will be almost 100 and some days it will be 70. Today is one of the 70 days.
On Monday, we had a normal workday, but Elder Chadwick had a doctor appointment, so we spent a lot of the day on that. In the evening, we had dinner with the Medinas, who are the family by whom Rosie came into contact with the Church, and they had invited her over for the dinner, too, so that was good.
Yesterday, we... we tracted and tried to contact less-actives!! And today, we went up to the temple. We were late because we failed to account for traffic (it took two hours to go about 25 miles), so we did initiatories this time. We also washed and waxed our car.
Well, everyone, keep an eye out for people around you. You never know when the Lord might give you an opprotunity to serve or share the Gospel--or at least your example.
