Hello everybody!
We had another really good week here in Crownpoint! Last Tuesday we had Zone Conference and it went really well! In the zone conference we had before we talked about increasing our number of baptisims by finding new investigators. So this conference we talked about increasing our number of baptisims by becoming more effective teachers. Some of the things we really focused on were teaching simply, asking questions, and using scriptures. These three things are key to become a more effective servent of the Lord. When we talk about teaching simply we mean really simply. Sometimes it is difficult to teach as simply as we need to but when you follow the spirit your not doing the teaching the spirit is. We are just here bring the truth back to people that have already accepted it; we know that because they are here in this World. These people like things straight forward and simple, I guess you could say plain and simple. I like things like that too so thats how I try to teach. It is not often that you find someone that is very knowledgable about the bible or has a really deep complex understanding of things. Which is good because neither do I. I accept it for what Heavenly Father has given and just continued in faith. Something I think more people need to understand more often.
This week we worked pretty hard and did a lot of knocking doors. We found four new investigators that we are excited about. We have done a lot of finding the past couple of weeks. We are trying to focus more of our attention on them instead of all of these old investigatrs that have been meeting with the missionaries for months and are not making any progress. We had two investigators at church yesterday which was really good. we were suppose to hve a baptisim this week but the branch president didn't feel comfortable with it so we have to puch it back a couple of weeks. We have a baptisim next week though, so we are excited about that. I hope we will be able to set some more dates soon, we ae pretty sure we will be able to.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful week and get back into the routine of school. I love you all! Be safe and be smart! Talk to you soon.
Love,
Elder Schmidt
