Well this week was just crazy! But overall a great week! Monday the new missionaries came in and boy are they green as ever! My heart goes out to them because they have know idea what they are getting into. The training was fun. I think the best part is when we were driving in the car to go to drop them off. We told them to go and contact this person they were scared to death. We didn't actually make them do it but it is just funny to see the new missionaries.
Wednesday we spent the whole day basically driving people places. We started at 5 am and didn't get out of the car until 6 Pm. All I can say from that is I have every hymn memorized :)
Wednesday night was probably the trunkiest night of my mission. We had dinner at the mission home with all the missionaries going home. That was super fun but they were all talking about home! haha well the testimony meeting was amazing. One of the Elders that bore his testimony that really touched my heart. He said in tears "I have got to serve our savior Jesus Christ for two years.. (he paused).. I am so grateful to have been able to serve the lord Jesus Christ." Though it was simple words and a simple testimony. I am so grateful as well to be serving our lord Jesus Christ.
The next morning we picked them up at 5 am to drop at the airport. And it was sad to say bye there was some cool missionaries leaving us. Luckily two Elders that I love got stuck in st. Vincent so they missed there flight home because of a storm. So they flew here. And the last few nights they have been with us. E. Moli and E. Tulikahakau are awesome elders! That night we went out to dinner with them and President! That was fun President bought us Pinacoladas!! woot woot!
Friday was a great day as well we did meetings for 5 hours over Skype with the leaders of the mission. I taught on the importance of planning and focusing on the doctrine of Baptism. I felt like it went well. After words president gave some good feedback. He said I am good at asking inspired questions that really bring the spirit.
I love compliments. So this week I tried to give as many compliments as I could! It is fun to do. People just light up when you compliment them on something! :)
Overall Merissa is doing great. Her daughter Keonna is doing great too! they will be baptized on the 25th that will be a great birthday present! Also we have an investigator thats name is chris that came to church for the second week in a row and that was boss.
Oh and also another sick thing that happened this week is I got to go to Black Rock to visit some people. I love seeing Dawn she is so awesome!! She cooked me some lunch!! And I also got to go visit some others. Little Eph is doing well. And also Lynda is still strong in the gospel and her family is being taught.
I am loving being out here. This week flew by! Well i love you all have a blessed week.
