Linstead -11 Happy Birthday!

Elder Ritchie with his birthday surprises today

Don't have much time right now, but I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes! I have the best family and friends anyone could ask for!

These past few weeks have been really frustrating though. Our numbers have been dropping. Less and less lessons. This week was really low. Elder Hall and I will likely have to drop several of our investigators as well. R and N used to be our 'top' investigators, but recently (past 3 weeks), they haven't kept commitments or took this seriously. I don't want to drop them. Really want for them to realize how important this is. We bear testimony of the truthfulness and importance of the gospel, but they neglect to act on it. Really frustrating. Really sad.

We had quite a few of our investigators commit to coming to church yesterday. They all said they'd come early, but no one was showing up. Finally D/Y called and said they'd be a bit late. Right after the sacrament D comes with her Y and her 5 young boys! So grateful to have them there. They enjoyed it all. Got to know the members better. I love the way everything is looking for them. Hopefully we can start teaching D's husband. The ward would definitely benefit from a faithful family.

Thanks again for the birthday wishes!
