This week was really good!
Tuesday, we had the 1st Counselor in the Mission Presidency join us for companionship study, President Medina, he's super cool! It was a sweet discussion about the Atonement. Then we ate biscuits and gravy, Moms recipe of course. We did Mormon.org time, then helped a member in
the Liberty 1 Ward move a barbecue downstairs from their upstairs deck
to their porch. After we tried a few people.
Wednesday, we tried to visit a few people, then had a late District Meeting. After District meeting we went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders, I stayed in Liberty with Elder Garrick, and Elder Anderson
went to Independence 1 with Elder Bingham. We taught an investigator about the Word of Wisdom and he committed to live it, we finally tried a few people before ending the day.
Thursday, we exchanged back after studies at around 12. We weekly planned for a while, then had dinner with a sweet family, the Millers, at the Corner Cafe, it reminded me of Mimi's Cafe a lot. We tried a few people before we had correlation at the Historic Liberty Jail.
Friday, we tried quite a few people out, with no success; but that wasn't a real shocker. We also got really sweaty because that's what happens when you stand outside for a few minutes in this weather. We had dinner with a less active family whom we have been working hard to reactivate and they have been to church for the last 4 weeks. After that we visited with a few active members.
Saturday, we helped a new family move in before heading to the Stake Pioneer Day celebration. So this
year the entire Stake had a Pioneer Day celebration where they took a picture of everybody there with a super expensive camera that could capture the details of everyone's faces, so basically, you just saw a
bunch of sweaty miserable people... Lol, but seriously thought it was SO HOT, everyone was drenched in sweat. Anyways, at this event, there were probably 1/4 of the people expected because when they took the whole Stakes’ picture the group wasn't that big. Anyways, after that we went home and attempted to dry our clothes for a little before heading to dinner with the Propst which was awesome. We talked about standing up for beliefs even when nobody else does.
Sunday, we prepped for the Elders Quorum lesson we taught about Home Teaching, the assignment was to talk on Missionary work, but we decided to focus on Home Teaching because a quote from Harold B Lee, "Missionary work is but home teaching to those who are not now members of the Church, and home teaching is nothing more or less than missionary work to Church members". But church was good, Sacrament meeting was about pioneers, for Sunday School we helped the Propsts with family history, or just watched them, get helped haha and we taught Elders Quorum. After church we went and gave a blessing to an investigator who is going to have a little procedure done today, Monday, then we went and taught a youth lesson. We had dinner with the Untch family, they are awesome and then had a lesson with a new and we got two other investigators from it!
Anyways, this week was pretty good. We had the best numbers since Elder Anderson has been here, and feel like we are getting somewhere. I hope everyone is doing well! I love you all, have a great week!
