Monday... So the reason the email was a little short last week, and nobody got any letters is because we started emailing and right after we started I got sick. After email we went home and I was either in the bathroom or my bed from 1 pm to 6 30 am on tuesday.... But, I'm feeling a lot better so it's all good!
Tuesday we picked up Elder Staley. Stud! I love our companionship!!! Elder Staley is from Montana and is also a soccer player, so all 3 of us play soccer. Then we got to go teach Pete, one of our Recent Converts. He wanted to watch the Restoration so we did. He really liked it. It was a really neat experience for me because during the movie I got a really strong spiritual witness that it was true! I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of God!!!
Wednesday.... I got a letter.... From the church.... Telling me when my flight home is.... For those of you that don't know I have to come home early because of my military contract. I will be coming home on February 9th. We went walking for part of the day and it went well. We got to talk to a few people and get some new potential investigators to try. Then we got to go teach a couple lessons.
Thursday we drove up to Indian Wells and had distrcit meeting up there and then went on exchanges. We brought one of them with us and left Elder Staley in Indian Wells. That night we went on splits. Elder Cook and the other missionary went with a ward missionary and I went with the Ward Mission Leader. We went and saw Leatrice and her family. Well she wasn't feeling very good, and we hadn't really talked to her husband in a while so I decided to talk to him. It was a really neat experience because I had no idea what I was supposed to teach so I just had to trust the spirit for the whole thing. Let me tell ya', God will never let you down if you rely on him! We talked about the Atonement, Prayer and serving others. He really enjoyed it! I love being a missionary.
Friday we 2 of our recent converts and watched movies with both of them. The worst is when you go in to watch a movie and the heater is cranked up and you are wearing a suit coat. It's quite the battle to stay awake. :)
Saturday we went out to Sun Valley to teach some potentials that have been coming to church for a while. So we get there and find out that he wanted us to do some service for him. Well he had another person coming over from the ward with a hydraulic wood splitter and we split a 20 foot trailer. It took about 2 or 3 hours. About half way through there came a guy that was just standing in the middle of the road looking at us. I just thought it was one of the neighbors. Well it turns out that he was Korean and had gotten is car stuck and needed some help getting it out. So we go over and look at it and it's just half way off the road. It's not high centered, nothing. So the ward member moves a little dirt just to make it look like it was stuck in the beginning and then drove it right back onto the road. :D It was awesome!!!!
Sunday we were at church from 7 to 4. Lots of meetings. Then we had dinner and they invited some non members over for us to teach. That is awesome! Holbrook is awesome!!!
Well thanks for all of the support!!! Until next time, Hagoonee'!!!
Elder Chipman
