| We followed a greenway straight to this, I didn't want to risk biking on it, though I'm sure Brian Thomas could have pulled it off😬😀 |
Yay! I just love General Conference. For us missionaries,
it's better than Christmas! We get to sit in a stake center for four to six
hours a day and listen to the inspired words of the prophets and leaders of
the church. They are awesome men and women. I loved being able to just sit
back, relax, and listen closely. It was so great. Now it's over...😥.
But hey! Elder Holland told us all to enjoy tomorrow and to not dread it, and
tomorrow is today! P-Day!😆 So yeah, conference
was great. The Guilford Sisters, bless their hearts, actually had an
investigator to bring to conference (unlike the rest of us). His name is Jeff,
and he is super solid. He said General Conference changed his life! He came to
all five sessions! Which is better than a lot of Mormons. Between each session,
he went out to the pavilion or a classroom and studied the Book of Mormon. We
had a pizza party before the priesthood session (Orson Scott Card bought a ton
of pizzas) and he shared his testimony with us. It's crazy! How did the sisters
find him! WHERE'S OUR JEFF!?!?!?! He has
to be out there somewhere right? Man, we just can't find our Jeff. He must be
hiding from us or we are really blind.
This week was pretty rough. We only
taught two investigators this week, and we didn't find any new people to
pursue. There were bright spots in the week though, as always. We had
interviews with president this week. They went pretty well, almost too well😄.
President said that if I improved this next transfer as much as I have improved
this last transfer, I'll be one of the better missionaries in the mission. I
don't buy it. Considering I've been in the mission six months now and I've
never taught the fourth lesson with any investigator, I don't feel like I've
really done that much at all. I wish I saw the improvement that President saw,
cause I just don't... But it was good, and he gave us some suggestions we'll
have to follow up on.
This week we also got to teach the Abdelhaq family, a great
returning member/part member family. We showed up and they invited us in and to
dinner. The father invited, even though we had already had dinner, so we ate
more. We got to know the husband better though. He is a Muslim and a super nice
guy. I don't know why he married a Mormon,
but they work it out. They are a cool family.
Well, not much else
happened this week. I went on exchange with the zone leaders. Elder Pottle came
here to the wonderful snailish land of Summerfield. He called it that as well.
We had a lot of fun and I really like him.
Well conference was great, the work
is slow, and I will be out six months on the 7th. Yikes! I'm 1/4 through the
mission! Weird. Well, I'll talk to y'all next week. Love ya!
