Week #71- looking for new investigators!

This week was good. We have been looking for new investigators, because pretty much everyone that we are teaching needs to get married. We want investigators that are going to progress and that will be able to get baptized. Our biggest problem is that they don't go to church, they will all say that they are going to go, but when Sunday comes, no one goes. We have tried teaching them the importance of the Sabbath day, but they don't come. We are going to look harder for new people to teach that will go. We want to use our time more wisely and teach people that will actually progress. Our investigator that was going to get baptized, doesn't want to make sacrifices for this change. I don't feel like he has a testimony of the church, so we are going to hold off on his baptism for a while and prepare him better. We should have more baptisms but they don't come to church or they aren't married. I am a little frustrated with this. I feel like we have great investigators, but they all need to get married. We have had success in finding a good amount of new investigators every week this transfer, but after the first lesson, they lose the excitement to listen to us and don't make time. I know that we need to contact more and I know that we will find at least one person that is ready to hear this gospel and that is willing to act to be able to progress.
