If You Give a Goat a Pass Along Card . . .

If you Give A Goat a Pass Along Card, chances are he's going to want the DVD to go with it . . . .

Dear Family and Friends,

I'm too pressed for time to come up with a story, plus I can't remember exactly how those books go. But, here are two little baby goats whom we met last Thursday while we were tracting. They were adorable and they really, really wanted to go with us. In fact it took us at least 3 attempts to leave before they would stop following us down the road! We finally had to ditch them and not look back. After that it was actually quite a slow week. We had lots of lessons with members, one very long wait in a car place waiting to get the tires inspected, and lots of people who just didn't want to visit with us!

Another note, the missionary handbook says that holidays are great days to go tracting and find people at home. While I agree with the latter, I have to disagree with the former. Nobody wants us to knock on their door when they are in the middle of a big family dinner! That said it was really hard to fill our day yesterday. After our dinner appointment--which luckily for us was all the way up in Round Mountain which meant we spent about an hour and a half commuting during the day we tried to call a whole bunch of people to see if we could come by and they were all busy with big family things. So in the end we crashed a few people's houses, gave them candy, and shared a message before we went home and finished off the night with study. But the poor Elders in Balls Ferry (our District Leader and his companion) nobody even signed up to feed them on Easter! Their Ward Mission Leader took pity on them and invited them home.

All is well here, even if we did have 90 weather this week. I hope it is the same with all of you!

Love,
Sister Sorensen
