This week we had the Brandon Olympics. It is a find off that Elder Olcott drew up wih different things being worth different amounts. Last Sunday was the Opening ceremonies and every night we would have the companionships in our zone text us their total points for the week to date. We would then send out the top 3. It was a huge success. We felt that our effort was there in the zone but that we needed to increase our attitude so we did this. Here are some numbers to explain how it went. Last week we had 8 new investigators among the zone, this week we had 37. Last week we had 3 total baptismal dates, this week we have 7. Every single key indicator was up significantly except for less actives at sacrament meeting. I honestly am so glad we did it! We did have some heartbreaks though with the girl from last week who had met missionaies in the past. She is like 22 but is living at home and her mom told us that she is not allowed to get baptized so she is currently not meeting with us. Clifford who is supposed to get baptized next weekend is out of town because his brother got murdered. It makes me super sad but maybe it will help Clifford see again why he needs so badly to change his life!
With the olympics on we were all going very hard. Elder Olcott and I had the chance to exchange in Winkler. I went with Elder Barney and we found 6 new investigators. Winkler is typically the slowest area so no one expected them to take the early lead that they did but good for them. Ultimately They ended up in second, Thompson won it and we got third. It was a great week. We have a ward corn roast soon so sorry for the pathetic email but I love you all. Elder Stewart
