It's been a busy week down here in Holbrook. Monday we got to drive to Farmington.
Tuesday we had transfers. Said good bye to Elder Krebs and picked up Elder Jensen. Then we headed back down to Holbrook. Then we had a really good lesson with Pete that night. I love Pete! He is just a big ray of sunshine!!! :D
Wednesday we got to teach a lot of people. We also had mashed potato's for dinner....... I LOVE MASHED POTATO'S!!!!!!!!!!!! ya.... let's just say they were really good. New companions are always interesting because you have different experiences and teaching styles and everything. Not a bad thing, just different. But, I love Elder Jensen. He is from Bountiful UT. He's had a total of 5 area's in 3 different missions because of some health issues. He likes to play games. He's also the youngest in his family and he is a great companion! We are going to have a great transfer together!!!
Thursday was probably the spiritual District Meeting I've ever taught. I was training on the Atonement. Wow, what a powerful subject. Right when I told everyone what I was training on the spirit came in and it was just great. We read a lot of scriptures about the Atonement and then we watched a video that Grandma and Grandpa Lynn sent to me about the Atonement and missionary work with Elders Eyring and Holland talking. Really good district meeting, in my opinion. Later that day we got to work with some of the stake leaders and find ways we can better work with them. That is always so cool, to see how different stake presidents run their specific stake. Lots of learning.
Friday we had a really good weekly planning session. Then we got to go to the wedding of Mark and Theresa. Theresa is a member of a year or two and Mark is a non member. Oh, and he's a Marine. (Oh Ya!!!!! :D :D :D) He's come to church almost every week for the past 2 months we just can't get in with him. But we have an appointment with him this week so we are pretty excited!
Saturday we walked, and walked, and walked some more. I asked Elder Jensen the day before if he was ok to walk. He said he was so we walked a lot!!!! If you have google maps we walked from our apartment to the seminary building then over to navajo and up to mission lane and back with stops in between. Then after it was dark we got in our car and went out and tried some people. We got onto a street that we knew someone lived on but we weren't sure where. So we were driving slowly down the street to see if we could find the house number. We ended up finding it on so we parked and got out. I pulled out my flashlight so I could show Elder Jensen the house number and then to see where we were walking. Well before we get to the door it opens and this man has a very aggressive look on his face. I quickly identify as the missionaries while shining the light on my tag. He then, again very aggressively, tells us to not to sneak up on peoples house while it's dark. He was emphasizing his point with his hands. His right hand was kept behind his back for most of the conversation. But he was moving around a little bit so I was able to see it for about a second or two. Yep, he was holding a gun. Well, that was a first. IDK, maybe he had been watching a horror movie and was a little on edge. :)
Sunday we were at church for a long time! Then we had dinner, did our studies and met with President Hatch. Good stuff. :)
Well thanks for all you do! Hope you all have a great week! Until next time, Hagoonee'!
