So I don't have a lot of time today so I'm going to get right into it. On Monday
for P day we played a really cool board game called....... AXIS AND
ALLIES! Oh how I love that game. And my record is still perfect. Then we
had dinner with a family and they asked if we could use a suit. I said
sure why not. It's a cool gray suit. Then we took that family and
brought them to the stake center in Bloomfield and all the other
missionaries in the zone were there. The Zone Leaders had planned an
activity for the families to give us feedback on our teaching. So each
set of missionaries brought a family from their ward. Each family was
give a room, a lesson to be taught and a rough outline on how they were
supposed to act. They would be taught two lessons. One 15 minute and one
30 minute. We were assigned to teach... the Law of Chastity first. :)
The lesson went really well. It's amazing to see what the spirit can do
through you if you live worthy of it. And testimonies have a really big
impact on people. In the feed back session the lady talked about how I
sold her on marriage. Ya it was a little awkward when she said that but
it was also nice to here that I had done a good job. Then we got to
teach the Restoration. Elder Deakin then bore a really powerful
testimony. It was a really great night and we got a lot of good
feedback.
On Tuesday the Primary had asked us to teach a
couple lessons to the kids of the ward. There was a total of 54 kids
there! IT ... WAS... AWESOME!!!!! The brought them out in 3 different
groups and then from their we split them in half and taught the 10
commandments and the Law of Chastity because those are the two that we
use object lessons for. :) Then we had a really productive day with 6
total lessons.
On Wednesday we had an interesting day. We
were supposed to go into Farmington and turn in our truck for a Jeep
Compass. It was sad. I want a truck! Oh, and the sisters drive the Jeep
Compass's. So we got there and the vehicle coordinator, Elder Shrum,
comes up to us and says, "I've been thinking about you and your needs
for a vehicle and I think a Toyota Tacoma would be a better vehicle for
you." YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thursday at District Meeting our District
Leader had us teach the Law of Chastity to the District because of the
great comments we had gotten on Monday.
Ya we taught a lot of Law of Chastity lessons this week. :) Then we had
a ward party that night and I got to play ULTIMATE!!!!! The only down
side was is that I still had to be in prosolighting clothes. Ya that
made it really interesting. And the people we played with were actually
really good. I'm excited to get to play with them again!
Friday we had a weird scheduled day, we had a
meeting with our ward mission leader at 8 then service at 11 and we
still had to do studies for 3 hours and then do our weekly planning. So
we did that and a member told us that they would bring dinner to our
house because they were leaving to go else where that night. So I been
inside all day and they sent the food with a just returned home sister
missionary. She handed me the box and said that her mom wanted the box
back. I said ok. Then I guess I just spaced out. The next thing I
remember is her asking me to go empty the box. Ya I later learned that
she had asked me to do that earlier but since I was spacing out I didn't
hear it. Ya... that was probably really awkward for her. My bad. Then
we had a really amazing lesson with our recent convert. We finished
watching the Mountain of the Lord. The member we brought with us then
got up and bore his testimony about temple. It was a really neat
experience. We committed her to go to the Temple in early Nov to get her
temple work done. I'm sooooo excited for her!
Saturday, I have never been around so many
dogs in my life in a single day. WOW! But it was cool all the dogs were
really nice and friendly but they were probably really confused at how
many other dogs they smelled on me. :) Then we got to go tracking that
night. We knocked on one door and we hear, "Who is it?" I grin at Elder
Deakin and yell back, "The LDS Missionaries". We stood there for
probably close to a minute and ....... nothing. Wow, lol. Ya we hot a
good laugh out of that one.
So on Sunday we had to make some copies for
the presentation we were giving to the ward during the third hour. Well
that printer didn't really like me. It Jammed on me like 6 times!!!!
Then when I finally got it to work it wouldn't count how many copies it
had already made. So instead of getting 25 copies we got around 50. Oh
funny stuff. We gave our presentation on a new ward mission plan, the L.
Tom Perry plan actually. We shared a lot of video's from Hastening the
Work of Salvation website. I love that website, it's so nice! The
presentation went really well and the ward is excited about missionary
work. :)
It's been a fantastic week! Thanks for all the support! Until next time, Hagonet!
