inviting people to come unto christ

I've been keeping track of how many doors we've knocked on this week and it's around 396 and not one person has let us in!  Only one person ever has said anything more then, "I'm not interested", and it was a 16 year old and we gave him a restoration pamphlet and that's it.  

But in preach my gospel it says, "your purpose as a missionary is to invite people to come unto Christ, by helping them receive the restored gospel of Christ through faith in the lord Jesus Christ."  So all I can do is invite people to come unto Christ, and that's what I'm doing out here.  Whether people accept it or not is their decision, so as long as I'm trying my hardest to invite people to come unto Christ, I'm happy.   

We are still teaching Grant and Carolynn, and this week started teaching a  family from Texas, a single mom with 2 teenagers, and another single lady. 

Our neighbor is funny, he's always drunk and happy!  One time he called us, "God Squad!"

It was my first fast Sunday out here in New Zealand today.  I bore my testimony, the spirit was so strong there.  I love my area more and more everyday. We get rejected all day and everyday, but we have fun getting rejected and we look forward to the next house.  I love New Zealand, it is seriously the best place to serve! 

I work so hard out here it's absolutely crazy.  I'm so tired by the end of the night!  People say you'll never sleep on your mission till the plane ride home, which is so true!  My testimony grows so much, my faith in the Savior is so big.  I know this church is true.  Everything makes so much sense.  I love you all and I love New Zealand!  I'm gonna learn so much out here, but I'm the same old Connor!
