What’s up everyone? This week just seemed super long. So
something I left out last week was that we gave talks on Sunday (Mother’s Day)
and we were asked to speak on....*drumroll*.... missionary work... We both tried
to find ways to incorporate Motherhood and missionary work together, while
still giving advice on how to be an effective member missionary. Apparently the
ward really liked it but it was one of the more unusual talks I've given.
Monday- I don’t remember really anything about this last Monday.
Luckily I have a planner. We saw a couple of potential investigators and
things went surprisingly well. We figured they would just shut us down because
they didn’t show much interest. They still didn’t show much interest but
showed more than we expected!
Tuesday- We spent the morning at Idaho Youth Ranch
volunteering and at the end Elder Dawson found some LaBron basketball shoes.
They were basically new and worth like $150 but he got them for 10 bucks. Then
we went to the mission office to have interviews with President. I already had
mine before transfers but Elder Dawson didn’t so I ended up having a second interview
that lasted about 5 minutes. After we played some b-ball and taught shortly
with this kid named Brain. We found him walking down the street one day and
just talked and now he's taking the lessons. Most of our investigators here
come from referrals so a street contact working out is super weird for me.
Wednesday- We weekly planned today because we have zone training tomorrow. Then later we had this church tour/activity and it didn’t
turn out like we wanted. A few kids cancelled, but Ashley Moncur, the best 12
year old missionary I've ever met, brought a friend and we got a new
investigator. We also went to Bamboo Garden as a district and had a shrimp
eating contest... not the best idea, Walking around all day didn’t feel the
best after that.
Thursday- Zone training was sweet! Elder Dart and Elder
Horne are some awesome zone leaders; the focus was how to get members involved
in the Lords work. We ended up going on a split which both lessons turned out
really well.
Friday- Long morning we did tons of record keeping/catch up.
Then we had a couple baptismal interviews later that evening.
Now I'm running out of time... sooo I hope you all had an
awesome week and I hope this next one is just as good!
Love you guys!
