Well, let me be the first to tell you this week was less
than eventful because I was sick for 60% of it. But, during this week I’ve found/rekindled
my desire to work - and to work hard. We had a Zone Conference this week and we
learned about a bunch of stuff. We will have
interviews with the Mission President on Tuesday (tomorrow) and we set some
pretty lofty goals. I can’t wait to share the success we will have had by the
end of this week. Hopefully! 🤞 Not only that, but I am
starting an awesome transformation story and hope next PDay I can share the
major difference between now and next Monday,
Mondays before my mission were bleh, Mondays during my
mission are the best days ever, because I get to communicate with the loved
ones! And likewise, I bet, lol. Monday
night we ate at buffalo wild wings, I ended up not getting a salad but found a
new favorite there. Traditional wings with the chipotle barbecue dry rub = darn
delicious!
Tuesday was an interesting day. We woke up got dressed up in our suits and
went off to Zone Conference. It went from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. Let me just say
that the mind can only learn as much as the butt can endure. So, the first 2
hours were great and lunch of course. In
zone conference we learned about:
·
Love and obedience and how they actually go hand
in hand
·
How can I change my heart to be the best me
possible
·
Monthly mission goals and
·
New standards of excellence
That evening following zone conference I’m pretty sure my
mono kicked in. I slept from 4:00 that evening until 11:00 am the next
day. We and a small lunch, which I couldn’t
keep down That was pretty much my Wednesday.
Thursday: We were
able to go to foodbank to work for two hours and then went out to visit people
with the awesome Bro. Collingwood. Later
that night we taught our Book of Mormon class in Sells, AZ. We read from Mosiah
chapter 10. Following that we gave Sis. B___ a blessing and all went
well.
Friday: Thursday
night we received a text from R__ asking if we and some other missionaries
could come over for lunch and to watch President Monson’s funeral service. It was a beautiful service followed by a surprisingly
darn good lunch of spaghetti squash and sauce with chicken mixed in and salad
on the side and horchata to drink. It was a wonderful lunch. After Spending time
with R__ we did our weekly planning until our dinner appointment with the I__s,
a very cute old couple. Aside from being
slightly awkward, it was good, lol.
Saturday: Elder Lee was not feeling it Saturday so he rested
and I read Preach My Gospel in 2 days. Man, it’s a wonderful book. Very helpful
and very informative. While it was a down day, we still got to visit sister C__.
We learned that she had a heart attack this weekend. But she’s home and resting
and any prayers would defiantly be helpful.
Sunday was a good day. Most of the members in Sells didn’t
show up, but it was OK because Elder Lee and I had to give talks. Luckily there
was only 12 people there. I realized as soon as the sacrament song started. The
person who brings bread was not there…so I ran to the fridge in the kitchen and
found the only thing possible = corn tortillas. So, Sacrament Meeting was kind
of funny, weird and hopefully had a few good talks, lol. It’ll be an experience I won’t forget. We both
gave talks on the Book of Mormon.
I know this week’s email was pretty short, but being sick
attributes to a short week with not much to report. This coming week we have
interviews with the President on Tuesday, and exchange on Wednesday and some
darn lofty goals to work towards. Our goals for this week it to find 4 new
investigators, set 2 bap dates, have 3 investigators at church on Sunday, hand
out 30 books of Mormon and have 40 quality gospel conversations. Once again
prayers appreciated, lol
I cannot wait to hear from you guys tomorrow, I love y’all
so much
Love,
