We've had a couple exchanges with Elders in the district and district meeting was pretty sweet too. We talked about our purpose when we street contact, tract, visit with members, and participate in ward council. We had a good time role playing how we would street contact, and I think everyone got something good out of it.
While on the exchange we had some cool things happen:
1. Elder Horman and I Found a lady who is really interested in family history, who lives next door to some members of the ward. It was cool because she was talking about how she has family ties to Canada, which I thought was pretty sweet!
2. We visited a Less-Active family's home, and the mother there didn't want to talk to us. Her son-in-law however came out and talked to us, we got him the gospel library on his phone so he could listen to the Book of Mormon, because he's dyslexic.
3. Elder Ostler and Elder Andrus were at a park and they overheard a group of people talking about them saying, "them Mormons have their own bible." and Elder Ostler yelled out, "No we don't!" and hopped over the fence and ran over to them and they started a conversation, then Elder Horman and I joined in later. We talked for a while with them, and they all agreed to talk more with the missionaries there.
Oh, and there was also a solar eclipse!
Love to you all!
Elder Rodgers
