Monday we had a Tri Zone
activity. I got to play Ultimate, I did pretty good. I got to play with
Elder Provard. He's really good at Ultimate! Then we saw our recent
convert and then Chet. They are both doing good. :)
Tuesday we had MLC. We talked about improving
our missionaries and talking to everyone. I really love those meetings.
They are so spiritually uplifting. Then we went out with a member and
saw a less active lady that is trying to come back to church. Members
are so powerful! They can do so much more to influence the people than
we missionaries can.
Wednesday we met with one of our
investigators, Fred. When we walked into his house it was like hitting a
brick wall of the spirit! He had some piano hymns playing in the
background and he had been reading. It's amazing what good music plus
reading the scriptures can do to influence the spirit in the home. Well,
he's doing great. We set a baptismal date with him for the 20th of September.
I'm really excited for him. That night we got to go play ultimate with a
group that plays almost every week. They are really good too! They are
better than me so I really enjoy playing with them.
Thursday we did our zone training. We had our
sister training leader train on talking to everyone, a district leader
train on viewing everyone as if they were going to the temple, Elder
Martin trained on the commitment process and I train on potential. That
took up a good chunk of our day.
Friday we got meet with Fred again. He is
still doing so great! He's reading and getting a lot out of his reading.
It's so good to see how the gospel can affect peoples lives!
Saturday we went walking for 6 hours in the middle
of the day in 94+ degree temperatures. Someone got a great sunburn at
his collar line. :) Then we went to a baptism that Flora Vista had. It
was interesting because the person getting baptized asked me to speak at
it. That was kinda weird but I was excited to do it! Fred was also able
to come to the baptismal service and then we gave him a church tour. So
it went really well.
Sunday
we had meetings and then we meet with the high counselor over
missionary work. Then we went on splits. I went with Bro Black. He does
such a good job at fellowshipping people. Members here are just great! I
love being in Aztec!
Thanks for all the support! Until next time, Hagoonee'!
