Week #22- The Area Book

Tuesday, January 22, 2013


Hey!

That stinks that Derek's team lost. It seems like they're pretty good this year; when they lose it's still always a really close game. There is always next time. This was a good week. Elder Austin is a really cool guy and a really good missionary. We have got really busy this week. This week we spent some time organizing the area book which has seemed to be the reason we are getting a lot more busy. Doing this has really showed me how important the area book is. We have been going through the ward list and almost half of the people on it have moved, are less active, or are part member families. Yesterday, we found a couple part member families to start teaching, and that was just from going through the ward list. We still have 40 names of members we need to stop by. I'm pretty sure that will keep us busy. I've been learning a lot about how to work with those less active members and those part member families with Elder Austin. That's what he really likes to do is work with the members. It's really good that I'm learning this. I'm excited to see what happens this week. Yesterday for our Zone activity we went on a hike. It's been a long time since I've been on a mountain and outdoors like that. It was really nice. The mountains and hiking are a great stress reliever. Can you believe that the 49ers made it to the super bowl? I knew that right when I got on my mission they would make it. I hope they win! I'll be able to watch the game in two years; that's not that long. It's been a busy week, and I'm really excited for this week. Well, got to go. I hope you guys have a great week.
 
Love Elder Ryan Smith
