So, I'm companions with Elder Vakameilalo now! (Pronounced Vaw-kuh-may-law-low) But most people call him Elder Vaka. He's super funny and cool and it's been a lot of fun to work with him this past week!
We are changing things up a little in Rifle, and putting more focus on Member Missionary work, trying to work through the ward to find investigators through the members, as opposed to tracting. Pretty much the whole town has been tracted, and we've been experiencing a lot of rejection when we do that recently. So, we are focusing on having lessons with members about missionary work, and on sharing missionary-related thoughts after dinner appointments. So, please keep us and our ward in your prayers.
But yes, we did get stuck in the snow. We had a lesson with the Wolfs, and they live like 30 minutes outside of town up this really big hill. We struggled a little to get up the hill in our front-wheel drive Chevy Cruze, but we made it safely. On the way down, however, two of our wheels ended up in a ditch. So, we got stuck.
We called Brother Wolf, and he came down in his big truck, hooked a chain to our front axle, and yanked us right out of there. It was all very exciting.
Other than that, we are just trying to expand our teaching pool, and are trying to progress the investigators we do have. So, any and all prayers sent our way would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all so much for all the support you guys give me! It means so much! Until next week!
