Email Letter - 01 October 2008

Dearest Family,

It sounds like things are going well and that everyone is staying busy…but that’s football season in the king household. Things are going well down here as well.

We had interviews with President Del Castillo yesterday and they were great. We also worked on our contacts. We are trying a new thing in our mission and maybe in the area or even the world but we are starting to use the pass along cards along with the pamphlets. Now the pass along cards are really just for the states and Canada but we figured out a way to make it work. It’s another way to speed up contacts in the street. President is really stressing that we talk to everyone that we see and not just clap houses.

We have practiced lots a different ways to do and we had an awesome practice with the Assistants to the president yesterday. We are practicing just going straight into doctrine because we know that on the streets people don’t really have a ton of time to just sit and talk to us. It’s been really effective in getting us working more and finding more people in a more efficient way.

Last week was Service Day for all of Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay which is our area and we cleaned up a school. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work and it was so hot but it was cool to work all together as a Branch and not just us to missionaries. We worked hard and got a lot done.

It has been a good week and I’m looking forward to General Conference this week. We have had a lot of investigators say that they will come so I’m excited to see if they really will. The Area Presidency made some cool invitations for us to hand out and that has made it nice to invite people and a lot less work and money for us because now we don’t have to make them.

This hasn’t been a really busy cool week because we haven’t really been in our area so this email is short. I love you all. Take care and I’m sure that I'll have more to write next week.
