mission lost a certain number of cars and our zone lost one, which put
us from a two weeks with and one week without to a one week with one
week without so we will have the car this next week.
Tuesday, we walked around and were able to visit with a less active
man and his wife, they aren't really interested but are extremely nice
and willing to let us come over any time we want, they are really cool
people. After that we went to dinner with a super cool family which
have two young men. That night after dinner we rode with the two boys
to young men's where they had a tennis tournament which we played in,
it was really fun. I took 2nd place, tennis is way harder than it
looks haha.
Wednesday, we had district meeting, Elder Anderson trained on Hope,
another Sister who came out this last transfer, Sister Moss, trained
on Patience, and I trained on being compassionate; it was a really
good meeting. After the meeting we got a ride home from a member who
asked us to go help a lady move from our Ward, so we went there and
ended up taking way longer than we thought so, we were supposed to
have dinner with the Propst but instead we ,et them at the church
where they were having interviews with the Bishop. They brought dinner
for us to eat there. After that we helped put together some packages
that we are giving to the ward today filled with things for them to
pass out to their friends and some things for them to keep themselves:
a Book of Mormon, pass along cards, family a proclamation, etc.
Thursday, we went and visited a less active lady, she just needs
someone to talk to and we share a thought and offer service, then we
had a lesson with an investigator that went well, but we area little
worried to whether or not he is actually interested or not; then we
got a ride over to dinner. At dinner the family had some friends from
Utah and the dad just talked about his mission the entire time, it was
a little annoying... After dinner we got a ride back home and started
preparing for our Ward correlation and at the last minute found out it
was canceled.
Friday, we had a mid training meeting. The training program for new
missionaries is 12 weeks long and being 6 weeks in there has usually
been a huge conference call with everyone being trained, but this time
there was a meeting, because of how large the group is, 27, so they
would rather do that than have 30+ phones in on one conference call.
So the meeting is just to see how the training is going. After lunch we got
home about 2:30ish and we weekly planned. After we weekly planned we
got a ride to our dinner appointment with a less active family who has
been coming to church now for a little over a month. Then we walked to
try and visit a part member family we are working with and we got in and taught them the
third lesson, which is about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Then we
walked back to the family we had dinner with and they drove us home.
Saturday, we wanted to do service for a member who is going through a
bit of a rough spell right now, we we went and used another members
lawn mower to mow his lawn while he wasn't home. Then we had to clean
up the grass shavings with a different members rake, so all in all it
took about an hour and a half to two hours to do. After we were
exhausted so we walked home and changed and relaxed for a little while
doing some studies. Then we decided to walk around and try visiting a
few potentials and less active members, we walked for a few hours and
had little success, and we didn't have dinner so we went out with
Liberty 1, who also didn't have dinner. After dinner we went home and
tried phoning a few potential investigators, before later going to the
church with Lib 1 Elders to check emails one more time.
Sunday, we had ward council and it was fast Sunday, obviously. It was
a good fast Sunday, we had two investigators at church and we were
super excited for that; plus there were no weird testimonies so we
were golden! The two were even able to sit with a family in the Ward
so that's even better, but they had to leave just after sacrament but
hey, they got the most important part in! Then for Sunday School we
helped a sister who is going through the temple prep class answer some
questions because she was just sitting there by herself looking at the
material so we thought she could use some friends and company. Then
for Elders Quorum the lesson was about patience and looking at others
and appreciating what you have, it was a good lesson! Then we had the
Ward break the fast, which had very little food and we helped give a
blessing so we ate last and.... Yea, we ate at home. After that we
tried calling potentials again, out ward was tracked out for the 6
months before I got here so we have a lot of potentials, but those
missionaries didn't know how to determine how interested people were,
so we spend a lot of time talking with really annoyed people haha.
Well, that's our week, transfers are this week, and I've been in the
Liberty 2 Ward for 4 transfers, about 6 months, so I think my time is
up here; which is sad, but it's whatever the Lord needs me to do. I
hope and pray you are all doing well. Have a great week!
