A Week of Contacting

So this week has been nothing but finding and contacting people in our area book that we don't know anything about. It has been interesting. We have found many people who have moved, aren't interested at all, or just plain shut the door in our faces. It was really funny, we were out knocking doors and we came to this house and a man opened the door, saw who we were and said "Oh. No one is home" and shut the door. HAHA it was so funny. We were like "uhh but you are home" haha. We also have a lot of people ask us if we are Jehovah's Witness. Today we were at Kroger (At Kroger we can scan our pamphlets or a Book of Mormon and it gives us a discount. Don't ask me how.) and we handed the lady a pamphlet. She asked "Why does it do that? Is the owner of Kroger a Jehovah's Witness?" I had to bit my tongue to keep from laughing out loud. We said kindly "Oh no we aren't Jehovah's Witness we are Mormons!" She was like "Ooh." It made me laugh.

I am so super excited! This week we are going to the Temple!!! We are going on Friday for the 11AM session!!! It is going to be so great. I have missed going to the Temple.

Anyway, there isn't much else going on here. I love you all and hope you have an amazing week.

Love, Hermana Hoferitza

PS: Okay I totally forgot to include this! My District Leader came up with this challenge and it is super fun. I have now challenged all of you to the BoM Challenge. You have to give away one copy of the Book of Mormon to someone who isn't a member of the church. The catch is, you have to do it in 24 hours from right now!!! If you do not complete the challenge in 24 hours you have to give away 2 copies of the Book of Mormon. We have already seen miracles come from this challenge and it is super fun. You also get to challenge 3 people to also do this challenge. We want to try and get this going through out the Mormon community. Let's see how far it gets. To my missionary friends: this is a great challenge to give to members at dinner appointments. It is super fun and a great way to get everyone involved in missionary work. I hope you all get the chance to hand one out to someone. Talk to your local missionaries for a copy of the Book of Mormon to get started. Remember you only have 24 hours!!!
