Cakes, Investigators, and Errant Snowballs

Snippets from email on 12/15/14


We had asked him if all he did was party with the members.  He replied, "Haha... no we don't just party all the time! Well ok we do because spreading the Gospel is a party!! But I just don't have pictures of us proselyting because we're not supposed to have out cameras out for that!"

He did have some extra partying going on, though because of his birthday and the kindness of members.

 
With Ethan C., whose family he celebrated his birthday with.

We have been a little confused about the investigator situation, so Elder Takis explained,  "So to classify (as an) "investigator" we have to teach a lesson to them, commit them to something, and have a return appointment. The family we found a week or so ago, that I told you about, would be investigators, but every appointment we've set with them, they haven't been able to make! And we have had several referrals and they seem pretty promising, but one of them hasn't gotten back to us yet and the other has an interesting schedule. So we're still trying to work it out. So we have several "potential investigators" but because we haven't been able to complete the 3 things like I mentioned before, we haven't gotten any new investigators. But we do still have the two we're teaching right now.'' 

Then there was the oops news:  "Yeah, so, this isn't good...at our dinner appointment yesterday we had a snowball fight with a couple of the family's boys because dinner wasn't quite ready and uh...yeah I threw a snowball at Elder Sekona and uh...yeah obviously missed and cracked the side mirror (of our car)!"
