Hola Familia como esta
I had another good week and am going to have an eventful week coming up too!
Monday
We had a great lesson with a new investigator and it was amazing! She asked all the right questions that we could have hoped for her to ask! We are going to invite her to be baptized today and I am kind of nervous we met her about a week and a half ago and she just keeps inviting us back. I am super excited. We also meet with some less active members and tried to see if we could help them. We are trying to share scriptures and the importance of living the gospel with less actives. We are attempting to help them learn why to attend church so I hope that helped them.
Tuesday
We had a zone meeting and had other elders came to stay at our house so they could attend this meeting. It was great we learned how to contact in different ways and try how to seem like more normal people. If that is even possible??? We are going to try to come across as more friendly at first then introduce the gospel. After we cross the big guard fence that everybody puts up when meeting new people. Then we contacted the rest of the evening.
Wednesday
My comp was sick today so in the morning I read and studied and exercised all morning... it was like a little vacation! It was super great! Then we had food with a RM that just got home and it was really fun then we had una cita with our investigators and the people who just got married and wants to baptize his wife. They are both coming along really great.
Thursday
The day a supermarket opened near our house! The best thing ever! It has everything! Except protein powder, but everything! We bought light bulbs for our house now every room has a light bulb now! Haha the little things that bring us joy. We worked in the other elders area on the other side of a city.We set up for a open chapel and it was really good and we had a lot of fun. One of the members brought a tent to put up behind the young men and they didn’t know how to set up a tent . I asked," do you guys need help?" They were like, you yankees don’t know how to set up a tent! Guess who set up the tent! haha
Friday
We did service for a family that are recent converts and they wanted us to mow there grass, which was great except that they have a big field and they had one weed waker. The weed waker maybe had a four foot long cord. It took a lot longer then it should have, but it was fun we had a good time and they just kept asking us questions about the things they were reading the whole time, so it was really good. Then after the service we went contacting.
Saturday.
The open chapel was today so we spent all day in the other area again and helped get everything finalized. We talked to a lot of members on how they first meet missionaries and it was so awesome hearing all these conversion stories. It made me want to go teach a lesson! Then we had the open chapel, it's when everybody invites other non-members to come and tour. All the different auxiliaries & orginazations are there. It was great there were alot of investagators. A lot of people came for the first time. I felt like I was at SUU giving tours again and it was really fun!
Sunday
We had a great sunday like normal! We had a talks about the importance of missionary work and it was great. We had the hermanas that are incharge of the open chapel come and talk & train our ward. They taught us what to do becasue we are having one on December 3 and its going to be christmas themed, so I am super pumped for that!!!
I love you be grateful for all you have, because you in the USA are truly blessed. Food, Clean water stores to shop at, meat to eat. Enjoy your turkey!!!
