Lil' update for the week!
We did
really well this week. We were kind of busy with meetings and stuff, but were still were
able to find some new people to teach and get a lot of lessons in. Our zone killed it this week in lessons. Lessons to investigators
with a member present and lessons to recent converts and less actives, both those categories, went
up by like 30 or 40. Elder Jackson and I also had a meeting
with the Stake Presidency and High Council yesterday. We were able to talk about stuff and hopefully get the
work progressing even better in these wards. President Sperry and
his AP's also got to come too, so that was nice to be able to make plans
and get help for the missionaries in this zone/stake.
Also, we did exchanges with the AP's this week. I felt like I was in America for a bit, using a car. We even
taught a lesson to this guy in English.One of
the members referred us to his friend, and we had a really good lesson with
him. He mentioned about when his wife was dying. He prayed constantly,
but God wasn't listening to his prayers. So we got to talk
about how sometimes God has other plans for us, but that through his son, Jesus Christ and his atonement, he would be able to see and live with
his wife again. It teared him up a bit, and the spirit was really strong. Love
it!
I'm just trying not to get trunky. There are now 18
elders going home with my batch because Elder Jackson's batch is going home
early for school. So now there are 3 of us in our house who go home on July 30th. I feel bad for Elder Loveland, the other elder in our house, who's only been out 3 months.
But yup. I wrote down yesterday in my trunky journal
hour by hour what will go down the day I get home! Ha, so excited. I still
love it here, so don't worry, but missionaries who lie and say they never
wanna come home are full of it. Haha! But ya for reals, the people are great here. Even the poor people
that live in squaters, try to feed you when you come over even though
they have no money. They're always willing to help us "joes" find
where we're going.
Ha, but ya Dad, I love fly fishing so I'm down!
Aight, but love ya!
