So
lately we've just been getting sackloads of DAs. I think we are going on
7 days straight with a DA. It's very nice because they always feed us
vegetables and stuff so it's more variety than I would probably cook for myself.
On
Tuesday we had interviews with the Mission President. He didn't give a
training or anything he just came out to do interviews and stuff. It was
a very short interview so not that exciting but he did tell me that I'm going
to be the district leader for our district this transfer which is cool.
There
was a worldwide change in mission schedule on Tuesday which was pretty
nuts. Instead of having set times to do everything now we get leeway to
do them whenever we want. It used to be personal study from 8 to 9 and
comp study from 9 to 10. Now we plan in the morning instead of at
night. So from 6:30 to 10 all we do is plan for 30 minutes and study for
an hour and we are free to exercise and cook for the rest of the time.
It's very nice because I can exercise and cook in the morning and then shower
and still feel like I'm being exactly obedient. I feel like it's very
inspired. Than after 10 we do comp study for 30 minutes and proselyte for
the rest of the day. It opens up the day a lot so I really like it.
We
had some nice lessons this week. We've been teaching a lot of lessons
and getting a lot of people on baptismal date. We were in the road one
day contacting a referral when this little 5 year old girl ran up to us and she
was like "You have to come see my coloring book!" And we were
kind of laughing about it so we said ok. And then she like skipped to her
house and we followed her and then when we got there she introduced us to her
mom and we talked to her for a little bit while she colored, and we ended up
teaching the whole restoration to her. And anyway we invited her to pray
about it and she did and then she came to church and she told us her prayers
had been answered and that she and her son who is 15 want to be baptized.
It was very nice.
This
week our zone is getting destroyed. My whole mission my zone leaders have
been Elder Muller and Elder Jigu, but Elder Muller is going home this week so
we're getting a new zl. Also there's a new elder coming to our district
and our district leader is leaving. In total I think there is going to be
7 new elders in our zone which is half the zone. It will be kind of
crazy. Especially since my transfer buddies are moving on without me, so
I'll be the only one in my mtc group here.
This
Saturday we have a baptism. We are baptizing X who is probably my
favorite investigator that I've ever taught. We are also going to baptize
a 9 year old kid who's parents went less active a little bit while he was
8. It should be a very nice baptism and I'm very excited especially for
X. He is 17 so we have been trying to prepare him for mission a
little bit. One step at a time though. He's a really sweet
guy.
Lately
I've been missing home just a little bit more than usual I don't know why.
I love you guys
