Merry Christmas everyone!
So this week has been very busy, so
I'll start from where I left off last time, way way back, all the
way
to....
Tuesday! So since we weren't going
to
transfer meeting, we did our weekly service, it has become a lot
more
fun now with the other two Elders coming too. Then afterwards we
all
went back to our apartment, took care of some things then headed
up
to the church to help with the Bishop's food truck. It was a big
load,
but it wasn't too bad with all the help we had. After all of
that we
spent the rest of the day trying to see people and we were semi
successful.
Wednesday, near the end of studies,
we
get a text from the Zone Leaders, about the conference call for
the
district leaders, they wanted to do it over skype, so I checked
the
bus schedule and we had five minutes to get to the bus stop
about
half a mile away, so we hopped on our bikes, hoping there
weren't
other bikes on the bus, and miraculously we were able to get on
the
bus and got to the church to take care of what we needed to do.
Afterwards, we went out teaching with Bro. Roy, but
unfortunately we
weren't able to get in with anyone. But later that evening we
were
able to teach some peoplez!
Thursday, we had an awesome district
meeting, then that night we were able teach a member one of the
temple prep classes.
Friday we did our weekly planning,
then
headed over to the mission office for an exchange but the other
missionaries got on the bus so we ended up waiting for almost
two
hours when they FINALLY made it there, so we started the
exchange and
I was going to their area but we had to wait ANOTHER HOUR, but
we
finally got there. We were able to get some work done so the day
wasn't completely boring.
Saturday morning we ended the
exchange
and we were given a new washing machine, I'm so happy! And that
night
we were going to do our bible study class, but we ended up not
doing
it, so the one member that comes every week wanted to take us
out to
eat, unfortunately it was a single sister so we had to make our
own
way to the place and that took way too long, but we finally made
it
and dinner was really good.
Sunday was an interesting day, well
we
got a new branch president because the old one had heart surgery
so
he couldn't do it anymore. Then after church our ride home was
taking care of things he had to do so we were sitting around for
awhile, but we always appreciate getting rides so we won't
complain. Then we
taught another temple prep class and we had chicken and
dumplings for
dinner, it was the best I've ever had, of course it's the first
time
I've had it so that might have had somethings to do with it...
No
that can't be it.
Monday was AWESOME! We had our
Christmas Conference, we had a very spiritual first part,
President
Brough taught us about who is and what it means to be in the
tribe of
Israel, then there were scriptures read about the birth of
Christ and
poems given and musical numbers that were very beautiful. Then
we all
went into the cultural hall and had an amazing lunch, then
watched some
talents, then played some games and I got pictures and video on
my
camera so I can't send them until I can get to a computer, but
it was
Awesome.
So it has been a very amazing week.
Love you all!
