So maybe I shouldn't read all of my other emails before this one. One of my best friends is having some medical issues and is coming home from his mission. I love him so much I hope he gets better and can get back to his mission ASAP!
So on Monday I got some cool pictures from Jessica of the Salt Lake Temple. Then we headed down to White Mesa and taught S, D, and the L family. It was a pretty good day.
On Tuesday we met with B, our recent convert, and discussed going to the temple. I love the Temple and I hope B gets the same joy out of it as I do! Then I had lunch. What did I have for lunch? Good old Potato's! IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD! I had bought 2 bags of them on Monday so I could make them when I wanted to. Oh man it was good stuff! Then we met with E and taught the WoW. I had a really neat experience answering his questions with the scriptures. I've never really been able to do that before. Then we met with the L family, J, and L. L has a son in the Navy and he should be coming to Blanding this week so I'm excited to meet him!
Wednesday we got to met with J who is starting to want the gospel. It's so cool to see the change in people as they start to live and understand the gospel. :D Then we met with the B family. Come to find out one of their son's walked in who was a Marine who has worked with the same LAV unit I did before it came down to Camp Williams. Then we met with the other B family and got to talk about Family History. They are going to start helping us with our family history! I'm so excited! Then we got to meet with M & P. After we had finished the lesson we helped them get their new swamp cooler on the roof. So I climbed to the roof with a rope and another person from the ward pushed the swamp cooler up the ladder while I pulled it up. That was a lot of fun!
Thursday I got some new sheet music from Natalie and I got a really cool sketch from Jessica. All the sketches I've gotten have been awesome! All our appointments cancelled that day so we got to learn some more Navajo. I'm starting to learn how to bare my testimony in Navajo! :D We also had a big stake potluck and church tour to find new people to teach. It went really well! We had to set up some extra tables to fit everyone!
Friday we had Zone Conference in Cortez. So we had to get up at 5 30 and be on the road by 6 to get there on time. We really need to be early because.... I was playing the piano for it!!! Oh I did pretty good. I'm so glad that I got to have the opportunity to play for President and Sister Batt and all the other missionaries including Elder Provard! At Zone Conference I got my new name tag! :D
Saturday we helped install the swamp cooler for M & P. That was some pretty interesting stuff. It's a lot of technical cutting and other stuff like that. Then we went down to White Mesa and taught S. Then we came back because the sisters need us to give a house blessing, they didn't know that they could do it themselves. So we went down and did that then talked to them about it. Before we finished talking to them a truck rolled up that had a USMC sticker on it. So I started talking to the people and found out who the Marine was and then set up a return appointment!
Sunday I had one of the most sacred/ special experiences of my mission thus far. After church and lunch we went to the D family. The dad smokes. So we had a testimony meeting of why we wanted him to stop. The spirit was so strong. I love this family so much! Oh and I made taco soup! :D
Until next week, Hagonet!
