Yaa Teeh!
I would almost call this week Marine Week. :D Let me explain. :)
Monday we had to go into Farminton to get our truck fixed and get haircuts. Then we had lunch. Niki this is for you. So Elder Deakin really REALLY likes Cafe Rio. I told him we were going to go to Costa Vida for lunch. I told him that it would be his new favorite reaustrant. He didn't believe me. So we went in and ate there. Costa Vida is now the new favorite reaustrant of Elder Deakin. :D Hehehe.
Tuesday, WE FINALLY GOT RAIN!!!!!!! (As a matter of fact, we got rain pretty close to every day this week, IT WAS BE-AWESOME!) We had a great day teaching on Tuesday. We had members come with us to all our appointments. I really enjoy going to the W family house. They have a 12 year old boy, 9 year old girl and 6 year old boy. I love those kids! Then we had a really spiritual lesson with M & J. We had a member there that had gone through the same problem for 40+ years, Alcholism. He bore his testimony on the healing power of the atonement, the spirit was so strong! I'm so excited for M and how much better his life is going to become! Elder Deakin did a really good job at teaching that lesson. He really loves these people. :)
So on Wednesday we had District Meeting because we had Zone Training and Interviews on Friday. Then we came back and had a dinner appointment with a family of a recently returned missionary who gave us some new teaching idea's, mainly object lessons. THEY ARE SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've used them a few times and the people remember what we taught a lot better. Object lessons are great! Then we met with a part member family and was able to talk to them about the Book of Mormon. We talked with the father and explained how we would get an answer if it was true or not. I love being able to come out of a lesson and realize how much the spirit was working through me to reach out to someone else. I loving being a missionary!
Thursday we were able to give service painting the house of a non active member. Then we talked with him and his wife for a little bit. They have this really cool small dog, it's really energetic and only has one eye. When you stand up it barks until you sit down but it doesn't bit. Well....... Ok so we were talking with them then we had a door to door salesman come in and talk to them about getting their carpets cleaned for free. So they said ok and we went outside to finish our conversation. So another guy came and said that they needed to be inside to watch the cleaning. Well when he came to the back door and started to come out this small dog started to growl and then charged the dude. LOL! He got inside fast enough but it was so funny. Note to self, never be a door to door salesman. Dogs don't like you. :)
Friday was an amazing day. We had Zone Training and Interviews. So I got asked to play the piano on Tuesday. I also got asked to play two songs I had never played before, ON TUESDAY!!!! I talked to my Zone Leades and we got one song changed so I could at least attempt the thing. I only got like 2 hours of practice and did pretty good. Talk about a Faith building experience. :) Then President Batt talked about being willing to recieve revelation during the training. Oh man did I ever recieve revelation! I love that we can recieve guidence from our Heavenly Father if we are willing and worthy! What a great training! Then we got to meet with 2 older women who both, one more than the other, remind me of my mom. I love these daughters of God so much. I'm so happy to be able visit them and feel the Saviours love for them!
So Saturday it rained pretty good, so what do we do as missionaries do? GO TRACKING!!!!! Talk about a fun experience, it was awsome we had so much fun! We even got some potential investigators! Then we went around and tried some former investigators. We got to talk to somebody that was walking while we were in the truck and asked if they wanted to meet with us. That was interesting. :)
Sunday I was in class getting ready to help teach it when I hear, "That's the Jarhead." :) I turn around and get introduced to another Marine. He is also a reservist and wanted to know how to serve a mission. I got to talk to him for a little while about it. That was a really fun conversation. Then we got to meet with a new investigator, A, and we taught her the first discussion. It went well. I'm excited for her.
So I want to try something new, If you, whoever is reading this, could send me riddles WITH THE ANSWERS it would be greatly appriciated! I'll tell you why later. :)
Well here goes another fantastic week. I wish you all the best. Until next week, Hagonet!
