This week was a pretty good week. We worked hard and tried our hardest to do the best we could. This week as a mission we did a "power" week. Every missionary set really high goals and everyone did amazing things. As a mission, we almost doubled our usual numbers. It was amazing. Elder B and I had some cool experiences this week as well. We felt impressed to tract a few houses in particular and we found several people with some potential. Hopefully something will come out of that. I also had a cool experience. We were biking on a street I had never been on before. We passed by a house and I felt impressed that we needed to come back and tract one house in particular. I wrote down the address and later as I was going through the area book, I found a less active member that stuck out to me. I looked at the address and found it was the exact address that I had written down.
We've been having fun. Elder B and I get along really well and are pretty unified in our teaching. It's really nice to be in sync with someone.
I don't have too many fun pictures this week. I need to start carrying and taking out my camera more. But this morning we were studying and I looked up to discover that Elder B had a telepathy shield on his forehead. Apparently I was shooting mental static at him or something that was very distracting. I was unaware that I was even able to shoot anything in the mental variety of projectiles but I tried hard to stop. Then I took a picture.
Now for the fun poem of the week.
I have wept in the night
For the shortness of sight
That to somebody’s need made me blind;
But I never have yet
Felt a tinge of regret
For being a little too kind.
Love y'all!
Elder Matthew Carlson
