Monday I got all caught up on my letters then we got to go teach a couple of new investigators. They are native's. I love teaching the native people! They just have this spirit about them and they have been prophesied about a lot!
Tuesday we had a lot of cancelled appointments but we did get to teach Mark. I LOVE MARK!!! He is a non-member, Marine, and he just got married to a member. We are teaching him at the 1st counselor of the mission presidency's house. So we have really good member support. He and I have really bonded. He has given me a couple of para cord bracelets and now he's given me a challenge coin for the Marines! His lesson went really well. We got to teach another lesson with some members to a member that is coming back into church activity. I love it when the members can answer all the questions and we are there just to get the conversation started. :)
Wednesday we got to go on splits I got to go with a young man, Landon, from the Painted Desert ward. Fun guy. I also got a package that day with some interesting stuff in it that I had no idea what I was going to do with it all. Then I had a light bulb moment. Elder Jensen and I can decorate the sisters car. (Does this sound familiar to anyone? :D ) See pictures below. :)
Thursday we got started on being trained on family history. I got to do a little bit of indexing. That is a lot more fun that it looks! It just has this really neat spirit about it. Huh, imagine that... The Prophet's and Apostles have said that like a million time. Go figure. :D
Friday we got to go to seminary to learn and to get to know the kids a little bit better. Then we had interviews with President Batt! I respect that man so much! He told me I am doing an amazing job down here in Holbrook. I really love being in Holbrook. Then after the interviews we got to have President Batt come out and work with us for about an hour. Our appointment fell through as well as all our back ups. lol. That's mission life some time.
Saturday was crazy. President Hatch had asked all the full time missionaries to sing in the evening session of stake conference. The only problem is we are all so spread out so we couldn't practice until the day of... Oh and he wanted a missionary melody like the one in general conference. Well thankfully we have a sister missionary that can improvise really well on the piano. So we sang "I Hope They Call Me On a Mission", "Called to Serve", and "Bring the World His Truth". I was the chorister. The choir did super well!!!! I had also been asked by President Hatch to give a 3 minute talk in stake conference about the stake central message. That went really well to. I got several compliments the next few days.
Sunday we had a Stake Conference Broadcast from SLC. Elder Foster, Sister McConkie, Elder Christofferson, and President Uchtdorf spoke. It was absolutely increadable!
I love being a missionary and I am seeing so many miracles in my life as well as, and more so in other peoples lives. Until next time, Hagoonee'!
