Life with an apartment of five is a bit hectic at times, but otherwise a fun experience.
We haven't been able to see Genesis, our investigator with a baptismal date, for a week, and she is pretty hard to contact. Our other main investigator Matt doesn't have the best memory. He's almost always at the home of a less-active member where we found him at, and when we make appointments to be at his apartment, he is never there. He lives in a building with a doorman, so we can't go up and check. We're a bit frustrated about that.
Elder Bell and I have been organizing old records like crazy. There are various groups of deaf people that live in a close area, though we have been finding that many of these groups are a bit mixed. We have been using paper maps to set boundaries to these areas and moving people into their correct ones, so future lookups will be easier and better streamlined. It's a bit fun, and we give the areas scriptural names to help us better remember them.
The Newburgh ASL/English elders area has been closed since I left it for the city. However, the APs recently said that they are thinking about switching the sisters still there with elders again, and that one of us will likely go up. It's an exciting prospect. My guess is that if it happens, Elder Holloway will go, as he's spent over a year in the city.
Until next time,
