Hello
everyone!
Well
it was another week in the lie of a missionary! It was jam packed with
proselyting, meetings, and tracting! What was super sweet was that a
member of the 70, who is in charge of the health of all the missionaries came
to our mission to come talk to us! It was a great meeting, and very
powerful. I learned a lot from this meeting, including ways to get better
contacting. I have really been working on contacting, since that is the
best way to get better at the language!
Yesterday, I just decided
to Choose the Right... street and I ended up meeting some very good
potentials. I was able to teach them the first lesson without the
pamphlet because our mission has no more. In fact we have been out for a
week! I guess that just goes to show how our mission is hastening the work!
But anyways I got 3 new investigators just in 10 minutes. it turns out
they had even been coming to our church activities already and have been
wanting to learn more about the church! Finding new investigators is so
easy for me now. I always seem to find random streets I have never been
down and I just tell my companion we are going down them. On average, I find 1
- 2 people who know about our church and want to learn more about it. I
really just wish I didn't have to give them the lesson 3 pamphlets now
hahaha.
Anyways, I am kind of all over the place today with this email,
sorry haha. For the meeting with the member of the 70 we had to get up at
3:30 a.m.. It was not a very fun day. I had to work to stay awake,
but somehow I did (unlike all of those times back in Paradise). I loved
being able to see my 4 roommates from the MTC! We had some good laughs
and talked about the struggles in our areas haha. I also got 2 dinners
for the first time during this mission in the period of a week! Mom I
guess I should've been nicer to missionaries, then maybe I would have more
dinner appointments now.
Besides that, I did not get hit by another car
this week. I bore my testimony in sacrament meeting this fast sunday, but
it didn't go over so well. I was so tired that when I first came up I
said "we believe" instead of "i know". I didn't give
a long testimony but I had an overwhelming sense of peace come over me. I
feel like sometimes I go so hard that I don't remember to settle down and
really feel the Spirit. After all, the Spirit is our greatest tool as
missionaries.
I wish I had more to say about my week but that is pretty
much it. Oh wait........... FOOD! Holy cow did I have some GOOD
stuff this week. I tried this ice cream called quezo real ice
cream. As you've probably already guess, yes it was cheese ice cream but
for some really strange reason it tasted amazing! I also had squid this
week which pretty much just tasted like salt. All of the Halloween costumes
looked great! Natalie did a great job in the performance! You guys
are wayy to busy though. I do not miss those days. Well I am doing
great here. I am still with my companion so I think he will be my companion
through Christmas! Wow I can't believe it is already that close.
January marks my 6 months completed. Dang I am too old.
Well I love
all of you guys!
