Elder Goje and I have been struggling to find new investigators that are serious about the gospel. On Friday we had an open schedule so when we were planning for the day we set a goal that we would try and get 3 new investigators. As we were walking out the front door and got to our front gate we said a prayer. We always say a prayer before we walk out of our yard. I said the prayer and I prayed that we would be able to find 3 new investigators that are prepared to hear the gospel and that they won't be jokers that just want to meet with us for fun. We walked out of the gate and headed to our area. We don't normally knock on doors here just because everyone is already out in the streets. We felt like we should walk to a certain part of our area and start knocking on doors. And that is exactly what we did. The first house we came to we met a lady named Edith she is around 40 years old. We asked her if we could sit down for a few minutes and share a message with her. She agreed so we sat down outside with her and a neighbor came over as well. Her name is Silungile and she is 20. We taught them a lesson about the church and kinda talked about the restoration of the gospel. It went very well and they were really interested and want to learn more so we are planning to meeting them again on Tuesday. We kept knocking on the doors and scheduled times to meet with other people but we didn't have lessons with them. We had some appointments scheduled between 4-7 and it was about 3:30 so we had to start walking back towards to our appointment which was with the girls that work in the food trailer thing. When we got there we met their boss and his name is Thomas and he wanted to sit down and listen to what we had to share. We then taught him and he was very interested so we invited him to church, and he came! We were so excited about that! We were able to find 3 people that we feel are prepared to hear the gospel.
Some of our investigators are doing really well and others we have had to drop because they are not progressing. Which is sad but we are here to find those who are ready to hear the truth, but that doesn't mean that those we drop will never get baptized. We are planting seeds so hopefully another missionary in the future will be able to harvest what we plant.
