We have had some miracles this week! Getting people to come to church has always been a struggle. Each week we send out more than twenty different invitations but this week was the first time we have had anyone come in over a month! One of the two who attended was in person with the other over zoom. The one who came in person is on date for baptism and the one who attended over zoom ensured us that he would watch weekly from now on!!
When you can no longer tract, there is a challenge in staying busy. Ideally, we have lessons all through out the day with only little gaps we fill by finding over Facebook or visiting people who said they were interested back when they were taught a long time ago. Occasionally though, we have long stretches of time we need to fill with finding. After having knocked literally every door we are allowed to with COVID, and sending so many friend requests Facebook blocks us for the day, we decided to try just calling one of the people who left us on read when we saw they were active on Facebook. It was pretty awkward as it rang, but they never picked up and it got the conversation rolling again, so it was actually effective. The method is called creepy calling. Let's just say I am excited for when we can knock doors again though!
The work is going well here!

Pic #2 - the moment elder Murphy realized that finishing his second plate of food was not going to be easy. In his defense this member PILES on the plate and won't let us leave without cleaning our plate at least twice
Pic #3 - a picture of me in the backup cam, we were trying to think of Facebook post ideas, this one wasn't a winner
