Yaa Teeh!
It's been a great week but I don't have a long time so here we go!
Monday after P-day we went over and visited one of our less actives. It's really interesting to try and teach drunk people. They are all happy one moment, then not so happy the next. And when you come back you don't know if they remember anything.
Tuesday was transfers. I got to be with Elder Deakin for a day while his new companion came up on the transfer van. Transfers are 6 weeks long btw. Then after we dropped Elder Deakin off at 6 we went and had dinner with a less active family. I love giving them brain games. They are obsessed with them and they are so much fun to watch! Then we went and taught a lesson on the plan of salvation. When we went home I tossed the keys to Elder Krstyen so he could go unlock the door. When he got their he said, "This is why I don't want to go to the Telestial Kingdom, it's to dark." Haha. :D
Wednesday we went up to Crouch Mesa and taught a family. I had the impression to talk about temples and family history work but sadly I discounted it because she is really busy and wouldn't have time to do family history. Well we started talking and the subject turned to temples. Spiritual... Slap... in... the... face.................. But we all need to learn some how! :D They were absolutely obsessed with going to them temple! It was great!
Thursday I taught my first District Meeting with Sisters present. That was different. So Aztec 2 was elders but at transfers it got switched to a sisters area. I did the lesson on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The best part of the whole thing is when I got to show the DVD Grandma and Grandpa Lynn sent me. That was so spiritually powerful for me. Then we decided to hike a canyon to save some miles. That was such a nice break for us. It was really relaxing to be out in the canyon. Then we came back and went down to a four way stop. Mind you it's dark now. Well there is a dirt patch where we normally wait for people. Well a Sheriff was just sitting there. Now me, in all my brilliance drove into the dirt patch and behind the Sheriff. Well about 15 seconds later he moved his truck and positioned himself right behind us with his lights on. After about 5 very awkward minutes he finally took off. After that we had a really powerful lesson on coming closer to Christ through small and simple means with an investigator that is really having a hard time with the Word of Wisdom.
Friday we FINALLY got a new investigator! Thank you so much for the prayers! It was raining that day and we still decided to go tracking. No luck but because we decided to sing hymns as we went tracking has never felt so good!
Saturday we had Interview with President Batt. He said that I'm doing a really good job. Then we taught a lesson to one of our recent converts. Elder Krstyen wasn't feeling really good so we went home. We went out to one more appointment about 4 hours later but came home and cancelled our last appointment because he really wasn't feeling well. That was a good catch up on sleep day for both of us.
Sunday we woke up to snow on the ground... yeah.... But it had been "snowing" for the past 2 days. I really don't think it's going to stay for very long. YEAH!!! :D Then after church and a couple lessons we went to rehearsals for the Messiah. I have so much fun with Elder Chadwich, maybe to much fun... :D We just talk back and forth but we also sing too so no worries. Then I called around for numbers for the week. Come to find out that our mail was still going to Aztec 2nd's instead of Aztec 1st like it was supposed to. So the sisters had my mail and were tormenting me about it because I had gotten mail from girls. lol. I got my mail... this morning. But none of it was opened.
Good stuff! Thanks for all the support! Until next week, Hagonet!
