Group 2'6'2017
Well another week down here on the mission and also another month! I have now completed 6 months of my mission! It is going by so fast I cant believe it! I didn´t even remember until I was reading during personal study then checked the time and saw the date. It was quite the surprise haha! It is so weird to think that it has already been half a year. I have already seen a big change in myself and I can´t imagine what I will be in another year and a half!
This week was super fast again and was pretty good in general! We got a lot of things done in the house here and we started up a new activity at the church. We also found some really good new investigators!
To start off let’s talk about last P-Day. We we woke up at 5:15a in the morning listening to a church right next to our house singing with massive 3 foot tall speakers. It was not the way I wanted to start my P-Day but oh well. None of us could go back to sleep so we just got up and went to play basketball. We played until about 9a then went to go pull out our money for the next two weeks. That was very needed haha! We then went to the groceries store and bought our food. After that we came back to the house and we all took a fat nap. Elder Nelson from Wyoming and I fixed some of the light switches and got some bulbs. We also fixed the hose under the sink that has been broken for over six months apparently. The other thing we fixed, the best we could, was the washing machine thing. It wasn´t holding water because the shut off valve was full of food but the rubber seal is broken too. At least know we can fill it all the way. We just always have to keep putting water in it. After, we went and emailed home. It sucked because a little over half way through the power went out and the back up batteries were broken. Pretty productive P-Day though.
Tuesday was pretty good because we had some really good first appointments. We have an older lady that is progressing a lot. We also have two younger girls that are keeping there commitments and are also progressing very well. We will probably put baptism dates with them this week. Our ward mission leader left with us after a bit & I left with another member. If we have two worthy priesthood holder we can do divisions so that’s what we did for the night. All of my appointments fell through but we got to talk to a couple people. I sat in on his seminary class for about 10 minuets waiting for him to finish. That was fun! It was a pretty good day in general!
Wednesday was a normal day of missionary work. The best part was that we found this very cool investigator and she has three kids. She wants to change and it is going to take a lot but if she is willing to, like she says, she is going to be an awesome covert.
Thursday wasn´t to good. We started the day off in a house of two very hardcore Pentecostal who´s knowledge of the church is from someone who wrote a description of every church and it is not accurate. They just wanted to contend and I just didn´t feel good after that lesson because they are so hard of heart and so mistaken. All of our appointments fell through after that. Just part of the mission though.
Friday was amazing. Mainly because I hit six months! The lessons we did have where really good and we got to do splits again with some of the members. We met up at the church because we started a new activity to train the members how to be better missionaries in the Lord’s work. It is a 8 week course and it is to help them not be as scared and how to be effective. That night we burned ties and partied hard with our Coca'Cola.
Saturday was also good! In the morning we played basketball with some members! That of course was a blast! We had a member leave with us all day and we visited a lot of people! We found one new guy that was really cool and he doesn´t have much of a relation with God but wants too. He didn´t know how to pray so we taught him. He is 40 years old and as far as we know this guys has never talked to God. Moments like this are really cool because when they do the prayer in front of you, it is just so cool to see and feel one of Gods sons or daughters talk with Him for the first time!
Sunday was great because we had an entire less active family to church. The parents haven´t been to church since 2004 and they are finally coming back! They walked in with all 4 of their kids! We also got to leave with Bishop and the his first counselor. We had some solid new references and it was a solid day in general!
The mission is flying by and I am loving it! I am learning so much and there isn´t anything better to do with our time then serve the Lord. We are here because of him so we might as well show our thanks and do our part haha!
