Dear all,
So the weather was great and it felt like Spring was finally here! Until last week! It got cold again! Darn Iowa! I don't like the cold! Today is is snowing lightly! Oh joy! Maybe someday I'll learn to enjoy this cold weather, but not today.
In other news, this past week we has a Zone Training. The focus of the meeting was working with members and doing away with tracting. So it turns out that my Mission President has felt inspired to do away with tracting in this mission. He said with a lot of the talks during conference focused on Member Missionaries, that only affirmed to him that tracting is no longer a good idea and our focus should be more toward having the members become missionaries and finding those people for the missionaries to teach, because those are the people that get baptized and STAY active in the church. That doesn't mean we won't be doing any finding, we are still going to do street contacting and talk to people outside of there houses, but we will no longer knock on doors! Yeah! No more making people angry! But anyways, when we have no appointments and can't find anything to do, our first thing to fall to is visit members and help them become better missionaries, then street contacting if we can't get any of that done. So things are changing. But the Gospel is staying the same and the work is still going forward, even more then ever before!
Sadly, none of our investigators were able to come to church yesterday, but it was still a good work! I hope everyone is doing great! I love you all!
With tender love and care,
Ofa atu,
Elder Timmy Nelson
