So on Monday
I finally filled up my camera memory card!!! We also got to see one of
our investigators who are preparing for baptism with. It was also the
last night that I was with Elder Deakin.
Tuesday
I got to pick up my new companion, Elder Reeder, 22 from Morgan UT.
He's been out for 3 months and we are having a great time. That day we
got a voice mail that was just a phone ringing. That was really
interesting. We also had a really spiritual lesson on repentance with a
less active who is trying to get off alcohol. It's so amazing when you
get to talk about the atonement! We also got a call from someone we had
dropped about 2 weeks ago and we went and saw him and he committed to be
baptized!
Wednesday
we got to go tracking. E. Reeder is really good around dogs, me... not
so much. :) He did say something that really hit me though. If you are
feeling fear, you can't feel faith. That was powerful! Later that day we
had a lesson with us, an investigator, and 4 members. That's the
biggest member preseant lesson EVER!!! I also got to hold my very first
baptismal interview that night. It is so cool to see and feel the spirit
work through you and tell you if they are ready to be baptized!
Thursday
we went out with a member and we went and saw one of his old friends.
The member we went with was/is the Air Force, the person we went and saw
was in the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!!!!!!! Ya we got along pretty
well. :) Although we didn't get to talk very much because they hadn't
seen each other in a very long time.
Friday
during studies we got a call from President Batt... Oh boy. He talked
to me and told me that my Endorsment for BYU was in. (Chris, I'm still
working on the essay's. Essay's and I don't get along really well.) Then
we got to go out tracking and we ran into someone that moved from Mt.
Pleasent 10 years ago. This lady, L.D., new Amber B! Crazy stuff! She
worked at the schools there! Later that day we went and taught one of
our recent converts. The 9 year old gave the prayer during which he
said, "Thank you for the new Chipman". Apperently he had been calling
the missionaries Chipman. :) LOL. Then after the lesson we played tag
with him. I totally slipped and have a big mud stain on my pants now
because of it. :) But it was totally worth it. I still got away. :)
Saturday
we went tracking and a guy came up to us and tried to sell us a 60
dollar water bottle. He had me do this flexability test with out holding
the bottle and then with holding it. He said I went farther the second
time because the bottle had "energy".... In reality I didn't go
farther... at all. :)
So on Sunday
I got to sing in an actual choir again! The Bloomfield Stake is hosting
a community envolved, Handel's "Messiah". That is some hardish but fun
music! I love singing in choirs!
I got to run. Thanks for all the support! Until next time, Hagonet!
