That is exactly what I will be doing a lot more of for the next while. Our mission president recently received some strong revelation about how to further the work here in New York, and the Lord told him that we need to do more finding. So, he has now asked us to do three hours of finding every single day! Up here, that translates into tracting! Elder Richards and I have already done a good amount of tracting thus far, but now the Lord is asking us to up our game. I am ready to accept His challenge.
We started yesterday, and even though we could only do 90 minutes due to other set things, we have already seen results. Three people that we had doorstep lessons with said we could come back, and we set an appointment with one of them. This woman happens to be deaf without her hearing aids, and can talk, read lips, and sign! Teaching her should be fun. I am sure a lot more success stories are to come.
Missionary sports can be painful if you aren't careful. I've been hit in the face more than once playing goalie in chair soccer, and my companion broke his toe last week playing it. One of the Spanish elders up here tore something in his leg that same day, and is currently getting an MRI. I hope he doesn't need to go all the way back to Alaska for surgery. But, other than that, sports are way fun!
The work is definitely moving forward, and will even more in the coming months. I am so glad and thankful that I am a part of it. The knowledge of Christ will go forth ever onwards.
