Round 2 vs Duke

We went up against our Zone Leader this week. He called us halfway through to let us know how very thrawted we would be. The Crusaders had some...well, I'll be honest, our numbers were less than impressive this week. In fact, they were flat-out low. The lowest of my mission thus far, to be exact.

However...

We got a baptismal date, and that trumps the lowest possible numbers. A girl in a part member family is going to be baptized with two other girls in another part member family in June.

I am finding it SUPER tough to not be discouraged about how low our numbers were because numbers are a poor measurement of so very much...there are geniouses who can't pass a standarized test, but according to numbers they are failures. We worked so hard and literally walked the perimeter of the whole city several times tracking people down, but no one was home and people juked us time after time after time...

Some weeks are like that.

Even in Australia.

However, this is a brand-new week and it is going to be just utterly and absolutely amazing!

Valpo still has not lost her stride.
