Hey Everyone.
Yeah, I loved conference a lot. Jeffery R. Holland was a powerhouse, I loved it. So next weekend we get to go to Regina and hear D. Todd Christofferson speak to us. I'm pretty excited about it.
I got the package on Wednesday and I have been taking the vitamins and hopefully they help. Last night I did pretty good when I confronted Elder Coombs about listening in on my interview with President Thomas. He was listening to my interview with Pres. and Elder Muirhead saw him trying to listen so I was trying to be calm, and we got everything figured out. I didnt even yell once. It was good compared to some of the other confrontations we've had.
That's going to be fun doing the whole ropes obstacle course with Dad for youth conference. That should be way fun, and I get the conference ensign in a couple weeks, so I'll actually have it before you haha!
So last night our zone leaders called us and tried to make us feel like crap because things are really slow. They were saying how every one needs to just step it up and get new investigators. The only reason they get investigators, is because they are in ysa and get referrals. Like no one in the mission is doing very well with getting people to teach and we're doing our absolute best to find people that are ready. It really ticked me off because we work our butts off trying to find kingdom builders. So this week we're going to just go down to the ghetto in downtown and teach a bunch of drunk natives and report to them that we all got 5 new investigators but we didn't fullfill our purpose, because these people are not going to progress at all. I'm so sick of this number game. This isn't a competition, and who do the zone leaders think they are? Like they're my age, but all of a sudden they think they can chastise me? So were going to start doing crazy things to find people because what everyone has been doing hasn't been cutting it. We're planning on going to the park and building a big tower out of church dvds and having people come to us and just doing crazy things like that so that we can find people to teach. haha so yeah it's frustrating.
I'm making a drop box accout so that I can put videos on there from my mission so that you can watch them. I'll tell you how it works when I figure it out.
love you all,
Elder Porter
p.s. Coombs and I are most likely staying together for another 2 months, so I'm not excited for that. I am trying to stay positive, but as you can tell, I'm pretty frustrated. Hopefully things will improve. It's starting to get a bit warmer, not Arizona warm, but warmer for here, like 20's or 30's in Farenheight.
