Trying to Find the Key to Success

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK CHELSIE!!!!  This week we have been doing a lot of knocking again, with minimal success.  It was a bummer, but we are going to continue on in diligence.  We are trying to find the Key to Success.  We are trying to find little adjustments that we can do to get more people interested in what we are doing.  The problem is people close the door a lot before we can say anything.  We have knocked almost all of the newtown half of Key West since I got here, and a lot of the Old Town.  So one of the Keys to Success that we came up with is to use another Key.  We have mostly worked in Key West, Stock Island, and Key Haven since I got here, the lowest three keys.  We had an appointment in a higher key, so when we went up we knocked.  2/3 people that answered in the hour or so of knocking were interested and said we can come back.  We are pretty excited to go back.  So we are seeing if there is some success that can be found in the other Keys.  We are going to continue to  explore the higher keys.  The problem with Key West is that it has all been knocked a bunch.  We bring members to knock with us sometimes, and they will sometimes comment about how they remember knocking the same complex like 8 months ago.  Just in a short transfer we were able to knock out a good portion, so most people know what we are doing when they see us at the door.  But the upper keys have had less attention, so hopefully we can find some gold in them keys.  We are working pretty hard, and trying to use Christmas now since people should be thinking of Christ more.  We have a good portion of people that said we can come visit them, so we are continually passing by, but since no one wants to set appointments we have a hard time catching them at the right time.  We are looking forward to the coming weeks though.  We should start seeing some more success as we go.  I'm so greatful for all your support and love.  I know this church is true and that there is no greater work than missionary work.  I know I'm called to be here by the Lord, and I know that Jesus Christ lives.  I am so excited to celebrate his birth at this time of the year now, and cannot think of a better way than to be sharing his gospel.  I love this gospel so much.  I love you all too.  Thankyou for what you all do for me, and the love you show me.
