Well, it feels like it's been only a few days since I last updated Y'all. And that could be attributed to the fact that it has only been five days. So here goes...
Wed we had a Zone leader council and it went really well. We discussed what the mission needs. We did some good work in the evening. We met this one family that was like,"Hey! We've been trying to get a hold of you guys. We have time this evening and we'd love to talk." Super cool! Wed night we realized that we were about to have Stake reports on Sunday and We had failed to remember to collect information from the missionaries to compile our reports So... that was part of the madness. Actually it was most of the madness.
Thursday we had a lovely day. Lots and Lots of paper work. And in the evening we had a great meeting with our investigator friend Bernie who looks like Wolverine. It was a really great lesson. and he's excited to be baptized soon! Woo! He read through the Book of Mormon like a tornado! Like he read most of it in three hours.
Friday was Another day of fun fun fun and fancy free. Full of Reports and planning for the next week.
Saturday was MAD fun. We did some knocking and we met some great people, and we had a wonderful lesson with Theron, this one kid who has been coming to church for a while and is so close to being baptized. Great fun. Then we spent the rest of the evening filling in the rest of our reports and then when we went to print--- the printer was gone. WHAT! Yes, apparently it had exploded and was lying dead and bleeding ink in the other room. So that was super fun working around that little bump in the road. We were able to get it printed in the end. THANK GOODNESS!
Sunday we got to report to the stake leaders. AND Bernie came to church! AND Theron came too! and It was fun! Testimony meeting was so cool! One girl that we had met up with the previous week bore testimony and told about how her family is going through some hard stuff and she said, "and then those wonderful missionaries in the fifth row back there came to my home and shared some wonderful scriptures from Alma and Helaman and it was exactly what my father needed to hear and it was wonderfully inspired. The timing the scriptures, inspired." And the best part was that we had decided to go to her home as a spur of the moment type thing and our discussion was purely what came to mind as we met with them. Hooray for the Spirit!! So church was great. Crazy part, one member brought a bunch of her friends who wanted to bash after gospel principles and that was a crazy.
So yeh. that's my week.
I love you all.
Thanks for everything.
you are always in my thoughts and prayers.
