So transfers! I stayed and my companion left. My new companion is Elder Podzikowski. He is from orem and i met him awhile back. He stayed at my house one night in praia. Since he came we were making sure he knows all the members and investigators. Due to the last few weeks being strange we need to find a lot more investigators this week.
Story with visiting teaching... Well I have two things that have to do with it. One is that helping people understand the importance of home teaching and visiting teaching is one thing that is emphasized a ton by our mission president to help the people here. The other was we had a less active that we passed multiple times a week for two transfers and taught her very often and she never came to church. but finally a member passed once! just once! when they had this activity of passing other people. And that week she showed up. Along with many other less actives. That week was one of our highest frequency thanks to that activity. unfortanetly people went back to their normal lives and started struggling on passing less actives again and they fell away. But I saw there that retention works so much better when its loving friends and family members that are helping rather than just the missionaries.
