Talk about a legit week! I had my first baptism this week, actually I had my first 6! :D
So on Monday we went up to Monticello, they have a golf course there and so we went to the driving range and had a hay day because none of us except for Elder Sobczeck knows how to golf. Then we came back and changed and headed down to White Mesa. We met with Z and went over the Restoration again. Then we meet with our legit new investigator, D. He is a sports player and is really soaking up everything we are telling him. We also got to meet with B.
Tuesday was a little different because Pres and Sis Batt came up to do interviews with our zone so we had zone meeting on Tuesday instead of Thursday. That went really well, we talked and learned a lot about Faith and always having a good attitude! :D Then I went on an exchange with Elder Cook down to Montezuma Creek. We taught some lessons and our last one, which was also our dinner appointment, right before we left one of the females there complimented me on how I was acting and how I was presenting myself as a missionary. In my head I was thinking, "Don't thank me thank the two people who are responsible for it, my super legitly be-awesome mom and dad!"
On Wednesday morning I did my first ever P90X work out. Interesting but I like the MMA fighter in Blanding better. :) After we got done with exchanges we had the opportunity to go to an appointment to find some new investigators. We went to a members house and there we meet N, D and D. N is living in apartment of the house and D and D, funny enough they actually have the same name, are foreign exchange students from Sweden and Norway/ Venezuela. So we walked in and we were talking to N and he asked who we were so we said Elder Chipman and Elder Edwards. He's like, "Wow, you guys have the same first name! That's crazy!" I had to hold my breath so I wouldn't burst out laughing. So we explained it to him that it's just a title we have. So he said, "You guys are like the CIA, you don't tell people your first name!" So we had a lesson. N is very knowledgeable about the Bible and believes in God and D and D are TOTALLY Atheist. It was an interesting lesson to say the least. So when we were getting ready to leave N asked if we could tell him our first names and so we did and then when we were leaving he said "Thank you for coming Bryson." Oh man that was weird being called by my first name again. Haha. Then we got to go fill out some baptism record forms for the 4 kids we've been teaching and as we were doing that I saw on the wall of their home that the dad was a Marine! Oh man did I get excited. He had some cool stuff!
Thursday we met with D and D again and talked about God and faith. It was a really powerful lesson. At lunch we went and got Subway, I used my gift card :D , and then we went to a park because the sisters wanted to have a picnic. So after we finished eating I brought out the Frisbee and we were throwing it around, I was actually practicing bowling with it and so I threw it and it went the wrong direction. I was heading towards a park table instead of Elder Barns. Well it hit the table and bounced of it and went straight to Elder Barns. I... FREAKED... OUT!!! IT WAS LEGIT! We got to watch the John Tanner Video with D. Who is that video powerful. If you haven't watched it, WATCH IT! Then we went to the G's and B's and at the B's I picked up my new TV! See pictures below. :D They gave it to me cause they don't want it. I was going to pay for it but they said they just wanted to give it to me. :D
Friday we met with our investigator B who is coming up on her baptism date of June 1. She is doing just great! She is reading, praying, and coming to church! Then we went down to M & P's and helped them put in a deck for their new house. While we were leaving we stopped to talk to them before we got in the truck. P was standing about 2 feet from me and we were talking about how excited we were for them to be baptized the next day and so smiled and turned to give me a hug. Ya... I felt really bad because she doesn't hug very many people. Interesting stuff. :) But I love them both to death!
Saturday glorious Saturday. After we woke up we changed and headed over to the church to fill up the font! We had studies at the church. It was pretty cool. I read Mosiah 3: 13. That was a cool scripture because it really applied to me. Then we had M & P's baptism. We then went to a B-day party for a sister/ cousin of T, D, N, and D. So we went there and they gave us navajo taco's to eat and sat us down right by the TV facing the TV. And guess what they had in... The Avengers. Oh that was painful. :) So we finished eating and went outside and played with the kids. Later that night we had T, D, N, and D's baptism. I got to be the chorister and I also gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. That was cool.
Sunday at church we got to confirm all 6 people in the same meeting cause they are all in the same ward. I personally got to confirm T. That was a really neat experience. After church we met with D and D again and watched "Finding Faith in Christ". That was good then we talked about faith.
So ya it's been a pretty Legit week! Well until next time! Hagonet!
