Things are going very well for us right now.
The members in our ward have got the missionary spirit right now! There is fire in them! We taught 6 lessons this week with a member present and almost every time we did it was with a different member. Whenever we have a dinner appointment we just call ahead and ask if the priesthood holder would like to come teaching with us after dinner and they always accept and then we line up some good investigators or referrals to go see.
We do a 'cottage meeting' family home evening type deal with investigators that we teacha nd members in our ward every Monday night. The cottage meeting has contributed a lot. Last week we had 14 people attend and about 5 of them were investigators and 1 was a less active member. It is exciting to witness. The members are bringing their friends too! We have a new investigator from someone that our Elders quorum president brought to the meeting! I know that we will be seeing the fruits of all this labor soon. The members and missionaries of New Orleans are VYING to help some seeking soul come unto Christ. Me and Elder Allen have so much to do. It's thrilling. I am loving my mission more than ever it seems.
Im also loving hearing from all of you!!! Thanks for all yur emails. :) I will try and respond to all the ones that I can.
