Oh how I love conference! It is such a great thing!
Tuesday
I had a cool experience. I ran completely out of water and we went to
an investigators house and she right away saw me and gave me a gallon of
water. What a neat experience. We spent the day emailing and shopping.
That night I went on an exchange to Escrito with Elder Tingey!
Wednesday
I got to make some stuff for some fellow missionary friends. It was
pretty cool. I put stones into some name tag clips so they look a little
cooler. :) Then we taught some lessons. We then went out and started to
try and contact some people, we went to a house and saw it had a no
trespassing sign so we couldn't knock on it. When we climbed back in the
truck I saw some one waving us down from another house so we got out
and went and talked to them. The guy we talked to was drunk, it was
pretty interesting. He laid out his whole life story basically.
Thursday
we had District Meeting and after that we went back and help set up for
a tri ward Raingutter Ragata! I was setting up tables and chairs and I
just lean the chairs up against the table so that when I'm done with
that I can just go around and set them up really quickly. Well this guy
came out and started talking to me in a frustarted voice about not
setting them up right then. I told him it was faster to do it this way
but if he wanted to he could start setting them up. So I kept going and
finally we had all the chairs ready to set up so I go around and start
setting them up and I was going at least 4 times faster than the other
guy. He looked at me, stunned, and asked "What did you do for a career
back home?!" I turned to him while moving on to the next task and simply
said, "United States Marine Corps." :) Then we went and taught a lesson
and then returned to the Ragata because they were having a chili cook
off and that was our dinner. A police officer from our ward came and I
got started talking to him about being an officer. That's always fun.
Then we went up and had a really productive lesson with another one of
our investigators who looks really prepared. The only down fall is he
just got a job in the oil fields so he will be gone for the next two
weeks. But we did get to watch a session of conference with him!
On Friday
we did our weekly planning and then went up to the church. I spent 2
1/2 + hours on making a General Conference Bingo board for kids who we
were going to be watching conference with. They look really good and
they worked!
Saturday
we watched conference with two of our investigators then we went to the
Priesthood session. Oh I was so excited to hear that Mr. Dehaan was
conducting the music! During the middle break song where we can see his
face it felt so nice to be able to be lead by him again. It was really
nice because he was a good leader and I had been lead by him before.
Then a thought came to my mind, what is it going to feel like when we
are personally lead by the savior again. WOW!!! That will be one of the
greatest feelings ever! After Priesthood session we got transfer
news.... I am staying in Flora Vista. Elder Deakin is being transfered
to Kirtland. So my new companion is going to be Elder Reeder. I'm so
excited to meet him!
Sunday
we watched General Conference with one recent convert and with an
investigator. Then we went around getting pictures for Elder Deakin. So
not much happened that day.
Well it has been a great week! Thanks for all the support! Until next time, Hagonet!
