Wow these weeks are just flying by!
So on Monday
for P-day we got to go to the knew bowling alley that just opened here.
The only weird part was we had to stay in Proselyting clothes. So we
were in shirts and ties and the sisters were in their skirts and stuff
like that. Then we meet with N and O who are really excited about the
gospel and they even went up and toured temple square a couple weeks
ago.
Tuesday
I had the weirdest day of tracking... we actually knocked doors in a
camping trailer area. That's weird to actually knock on the door of a
camping trailer. We also got to meet with D & D again and with J.
Then we got to meet with A who had some questions about the church and
the traditions of her family. We got to talk about the priesthood and
other stuff. It was some cool stuff!
On Wednesday.... oh Wednesday.
We went tracking and met L B who is an inactive member but for the past
40 years have lived up in West Jordan while her husband was working at
the Bateman Dairy Farms! She remembers that her old Bishop was Bishop
Bebee! Holy Cow! Talk about a personal connection! Also on Wednesday,
we came home to get a drink and we found two of my letters, that I've
been waiting for, hidden in the house by our wonderful new Zone Leaders.
Oh and both of the letters were from girls. Ya I wasn't the happiest
person at that time. Although, I was super excited to get those two
pieces of mail. So if you've written me in the past 3 weeks and haven't
gotten a letter back, that's why. You have a letter coming, I promise.
:D We also got to meet with J and read the BOM and watch a conference
talk with him. I love conference talks! Then we got to go visit Grandpa
and Grandma H aka M & P, our recent converts, and talk about family
history work and temples. They are so excited about family history work!
And yes I do consider them my Grandparents now. :D
Oh my... On Thursday
we had the Assistants to the President up in Blanding with us so they
could go on exchanges with the zone leaders. Well Elder Edwards and I
got to do companionship studies with them. That has got to be one of the
best studies EVER!!! We really had the spirit with us and were able to
address the needs of the people we were role playing, practicing, for.
Then we had District Meeting. Then Elder Edwards went down to Montezuma
on exchanges so I had Elder Cook up here with me. And oh man did the
wind really start to pick up! You couldn't see a quarter mile infront of
you. That night we meet with the G's and the B's and read the BOM. Oh
and I got 3 letter today, 2 of which were from the same people who I had
found the letters from yesterday and the other was another girl!
Friday
we did our weekly planning and then we went and contacted some people.
At dinner towards the end I wasn't feeling so good. So we left and went
to our next appointment. Once our next appointment started I felt just
fine. It's amazing what the Lord will bless you with if you are being
obedient! We picked up one of our old investigators and talked about her
concerns and question then we took her over to the church and gave her a
quick church tour. That is a really neat thing to do! Then we met with J
and read the BOM with him and invited him to church. He said he wanted
to come back to church but he couldn't make it this week so he said he'd
be there next week! :D
Do you know what one of the most awesome feeling about being a missionary is? I'll tell you. On Saturday
we helped G-pa and G-ma build their deck. They are so much fun to be
around! Then we got to meet with L. We listened to the conversion story
of Glenn Beck. If you haven't seen/ heard it YOU NEED TO!!! IT'S SO
GOOD! After we finished listening to in it inspired L so much that he
gave us ALL of his coffee so we could go throw it away for him. One of
the coolest feeling is walking out of someone's house with all there
coffee to go throw it away. Of course once we did we pulled out our hand
sanitizer and cleaned our hands really good. :D Haha. We also met with D
who is ready to be baptized and quite frankly ready to be a missionary.
He just gets it! He really understands, and lives, the gospel! Then me
met with L and set a baptism date with here even though we haven't meet
with her for about a month! Things are just going great!
During my personal study on Sunday
I read Mosiah 19: 13 - 14. This is why I think girls that live the
gospel are so much more awesome than me. That would take so much
courage!!! I got to go down to White Mesa for church and we talked about
Temples! Oh how I love Temples! I miss being able to go every week, all
well I'm doing something equally or more important that that. :D So
after the day was over we did our planning and Elder Edwards got a phone
call telling us that Elder Cook had brought bed bugs into our house
when he came up for exchanges so... we took our mattresses outside and
put our bedding in the dryer and washed our clothes and slept on the
couches in the front room. Oh good stuff!
So that was my beawesome week! Well until next
time, Hagonet! (Has anyone figured out what that means yet? If you think
you know what it means write me and tell me what you think it means. :D
