We've had another busy week! We are still going out & visiting (or leaving a message) to the members. We only visited 17 this week--we have 20 more to visit plus the 3 in prison. We had a district meeting Tuesday & did apartment inspections Wednesday & Thursday. The missionaries have very nice apartments in this area! I now see the wisdom in having apartment inspections! There is one apartment that has 4 sister missionaries & none of them knew that the dryer had a filter much less that they needed to clean it. I told them they needed to clean it every time they used it & if they didn't it was a fire hazard. Another missionary set didn't know that you were supposed to change the a/c filter--one of them had been here 6 mos. & had never changed it & it was filthy.
Elder Sadler has gotten more than 40 families off the unit records using People Smart. He found that one man died in 2007 & no one even knew it. We went to a home where the guy had been there 6 months & the house was vacant a year before he moved in & no one knew that the family had moved. Elder Sadler has now found 50 families that have moved out! That will really make a difference. The missionaries get tickled at all of his lists--he has one for the inactives, one for them by area, one of those we've visited, one for those we haven't, he sends a report to the bishop every week, home teaching & many more!
One that has been inactive for years & years now asked Elder Sadler to give him a blessing last night. A member told Barry today that he never remembers him talking about the church but he has talked to us about the church a couple of times now.
Sister Guyten told us that we might not know why we're here but we are here for her family. They feed us every week--I know that it will be hard to leave them when our mission is up. They are a sweet family. There's more but it's late & my phone is about to die.
