Yaa Teeh!
Monday we did a lot of cleaning of our house, wrote some letters, and did some shopping in Farmington. Then we had a lesson with Chet a less active member. We teaching scripture study. Well he has an I-pad and we started using it to look up PMG and Mormon Messages during the middle of the lesson. I can't wait to get one of those!
Tuesday was awesome! We went on splits. I went with Bro. Satini our ward mission leader and went to a less active lady's named Tonya. We read and discussed part of Mosiah 18. Then we got to split some wood for her. I Love splitting wood! Then we need to go try one more person before we ended the split. Well we were traveling on some oil field roads and Bro Satini took a wrong turn. We soon found ourselves on an obvious 4 wheeler trail in his Jeep Grand Cherokee in the rain. Not a good mix. Well we finally turned around after we went basically 4 wheeling for a little bit. But we got to the house and we didn't find the person we were looking for but we found they're non member boy friend who actually asked to have the lessons.... AWESOME!!!!
Wednesday I went on exchanges down in Bloomfield. We did service all day. We also played a game of horse shoes. I'm not as bad as I thought I was. I'm not good by any means but I'm not half bad. :)
Thursday we had a really fun night. We had a great lesson with a less active family. We then went with a member, Bro James to see the guy we had met on Tuesday but he wasn't there but the girlfriend member was, so we talked to her. Man, Bro James is FUNNY!!! We had a good visit and got to know her and her son really well.
Friday we taught two guys that are super prepared to receive the gospel. The lesson went really well. Then we found out they live in Farmington. .... .... lame. But our area is really picking up! I love being in Aztec! Then we taught Chet again. We had Bro Current the second councilor with us, what a difference having a member makes! I love member missionaries! I challenge everyone to go to a lesson with the missionaries al least once in the next month and then write me and tell me about it! YOU ARE NEEDED! Just so you know, Chet when we met him told us that he loved missionaries but that he would never come to church. Bro Current just showed some real love for him and invited him to church.
Saturday we went and pulled some weeds for one of our investigators. When we finished the pile was 5' high and 9' in diameter. That's a lot of weeds. Then we took the Elders Quorum president to see one of the members of his quorum members. That was great! He did such a great job at getting to know him and inviting him back. Then we were walking through a park in our area and saw that the other missionaries had gotten permission to go play ultimate there from their district leader so we went and played... in shirt and tie. :) I did really well. I actually had a full out diving catch. I love ultimate!
Sunday Chet came to church! And stayed for all three hours, that's what happens with member missionary work, it's a whole lot more productive than just the missionaries doing the missionary work. Then we had a meeting with the stake president and mission president to discuss the missionary work in the stake.
So ya.... it was an awesome week. Until next time, Hagoonee'!
