What a fun week of exchanges!
Monday
we had a zone activity where we played Ultimate Frisbee! OH I LOVE THAT
GAME!!!!!! So after that we got ready for zone conference the next day.
Tuesday,
Zone Conference. Always a big plus. After that we went on an exchange
with Escrito. I brought Elder Manu up to Flora Vista and Elder Reeder
went down to Escrito with Elder Tingey. We got to visit with a Less
active family. They made us dinner and had us play, pin the tail on the
donkey. Oh and the rigged it for Elder Manu. They moved the board. HAHA!
:)
Wednesday
we had a lot of appointments cancel but it was still a really good day.
We got to see some of our people on date and they are progressing
really well, except they missed church on Sunday
so the are not on date any more. We got to play some tether ball with
Elder Reeder in the dark. Ya, I kinda hit him in the face with the ball
about 4 times. That was interesting. I'm such a nice companion. But we
get along really well together. That night I went on an exchange with
Elder Moser. So Elder Reeder didn't spend the night in Flora Vista for 2
nights. The life as a District Leaders companion.
Thursday
I spent all day with Elder Moser. It's so weird to be training someone
done on an exchange that has been out twice as long you have. I love
Elder Moser. We showed each other some object lessons. He showed me one
about prayer. You get a cord and you hold the ends in your hands. You
can't let go and you can't shift you hands. The goal is to tie a knot in
the center. The way you do it is by crossing your arms, like your
praying, and then grab the string and pull you arms apart. It's really
cool. So our dinner appointment has a daughter that just came home and
she was showing me all of her object lessons. Well that is one of the
ones she showed me. It was good fun.
Friday
we got to teach seminary at the high school so the teacher could go to
the temple with the Stake. We had a lot of fun. I blew their minds when I
showed them 2 Nephi 12: 2 and how it is talking about Utah and it
spells out Utah vertically. :) Then we had an appointment with a
potential investigator. We went over there and started talking to her.
She was really nice but she said that she wasn't really looking to
change religions at all. I asked if we could still teach her about what
we believe. She agreed. We started by talking a little about a picture
of Christ found on the cover of the Restoration Pamphlet. She was
already in tears before we got into the main part of the lesson. At the
end we commited her to be baptized and she accepted! Oh good day!
Saturday
was a day of first for me. We got to help our Elders Q. pres. move.
While we were waiting for him we cleaned their chicken coup, with a
pitch fork. I have now, officially, used a pitch fork. MWHAHAHAHA. :)
Also this one chicken escaped the fence like 3 times so I got to chase a
chicken for the first time. After dinner he showed us his mugs that his
mother had gotten him from Germany. One of which had a piece of the
Berlin Wall on it. I have now officially touch the Berlin Wall on my
mission, in New Mexico. What now?! Haha! :D
Sunday
was the Primary Program. It was awesome. Then we got to go in and help
teach primary about being missionaries and how we decided to become
missionaries. I love talking and teaching kids, they have so much
energy.... LIKE ME!!!!!
Well that's all for this week. Until next time, Hagonet!
