We got our transfer letters yesterday, and I will be staying in Dieppe which will be great:) We have big things coming these next few weeks:):)
Last week we really focused every approach with everyone completely on the Book of Mormon, because in our past approaches we would talk about the plan of salvation, modern prophets and revelation or really individual principles that we thought were the most interesting based off of the individual. We were not finding a lot of success in doing that, so we changed our tactics and went straight into the "Holy hand grenade" as some missionaries call it because its too difficult to write out Book of Mormon, so they write BoM. It was very interesting the change in each person we talked to. Some instantly reacted offended or scared and would end it at that. But more often than not people got sincerely interested in what this book was. In Preach My Gospel it says, "The Book of Mormon combined with the spirit is the most effective tool for conversion" and that statement is 1189% true! We were able to get a lot of return appointments at doors or on the street thanks to it!
This week we spent almost all of our time finding less active members who disappeared or searching for the chosen ones. Unfortunately, we did not have any opportunities to really sit down and have a lesson with anyone, but we were able to set up a couple of appointments for this week which will be great.:)

Funny/cool experiences this week. We were walking on a trail, that turned into a 5k race and people were running next to us (we didn't run). We met a lot of people through that by accident haha.. While we were trying to visit potentials and former investigators, Elder Lerminez saw a dog and was like "hey its your dog!" Sure enough, it was Jango <3. We parked the truck and talked to the two people there and I took a picture with him. His name is Chester.
Love you all like crazy! Its finally getting warmer! Almost all the snow has melted and there are icebergs in the rivers. It's super cool! Also.. found a Honda civic covered with mirrors and flames!!! #speed
