This week was an interesting week!!! lots of good things this week! we are starting to shift the focus from finding onto following up and teaching, and it's exciting to start to see the teaching pool take shape...

On a sad note, we had to drop one of our investigators, Bobby and Marilyn, they just really stopped progressing and wouldn't keep their commitments. This was the first time that I actually had to drop someone and it broke my heart... it was so hard because we could see the light in their eyes and see the changes in their lives when we were there, and it's so so so obvious that the gospel could help them so much in their lives...but like our mission president said we have done our part, we did our purpose and invited them to come unto Christ, and now the choice is theirs.

In better news!! we found a ton people this week that I feel really really good about them.  There is always a feeling that I get when I meet someone who has potential, I'm not sure what it is but it just get's really easy to talk to them. Almost like I have known them before... but anyways I felt that a lot this week, and it made me excited to go and follow up with them...

We also went and bought all of our emergency supplies this week so that was an adventure. we ended up having to wait in line at the store for 4 hours, so that was hard. I'm discovering something about my self that I never knew before, but I realized that I hate wasting time... so that was hard... but hahah gotta love all the memories..

another high of this week was zone conference!!! , I found answers to many of my questions.

I'm looking forward to this week and I hope the virus won't get in the way of the work!

love Elder Snow

This week was a great week!!!! we had our first two people at sacrament meeting in 8 weeks!! we know that there is room for improvement but it just felt so good to have some sign of progress in our area!!

We had lots of good finding opportunities this week and found a lot of people with promise...we have been working really hard this week and putting a lot of faith in the Lord... and we have finally found our name for our person to be baptized this transfer. His name is Nory and he is a really bright 17 year old... and he really sees that he needs the Lords help and hand in his life and I am so grateful for him and the chance we have to teach him.

It's super inspiring to see the hand of the Lord in our life,  in guiding us to the people who are prepared.

We were also able to teach some really good lessons to some people and it's so amazing to feel my testimony grow more every time we teach about the restoration. Right now I am restarting the Book of Mormon in my personal study and it is always a treat to read. I'm so grateful for the Book of Mormon and its effect on my life

wow this week was definitely full of its ups and downs

Adjusting to a new area is definitely a struggle, and a new companion always changes things up. and it’s just interesting to see the different ways that people like to do missionary work. still working with Elder Blad has been a privilege and I am learning a ton from him...

As far as the work goes here in San Fernando, it’s a struggle, we haven’t had a PSM (People at Sacrament Meeting) in over 7 weeks.  It’s so different working here, in Agoo we started from scratch, and when I left it was progressing so much, and here we are kind of back to scratch, but its ok!! We are finding a ton of really cool people and I am excited to follow up with all of them.

Other than that I’m learning a lot about patience this week and as well as learning how to love. I’m excited to keep trying to love this area and how to be patient. The people in this area are so nice and I’m excited to continue working here.

This area needs missionaries who are keen to work hard, and I’m just trying to keep mine and Elder Blad’s fire going and work our bums off and find the person for Elder Bald and I to lead into the waters of baptism this transfer.
