YOUR ATTITUDE FOR LIFE AND THE GOSEPL IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR LOVE FOR HEAVENLY FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST!!
HEY EVERYONE!!!! this week went pretty well!! :) Last week of this transfer already! That's so crazy!
I'm so so so happy to be a missionary!!
IT IS AMAZING!! sorry for the late email, we had a zone p-day and it was so fun we did a huge nerf war with all 20 something of us! And had a nice lunch and just talked. So incredible! Tomorrow is Zone Conference!! I'm stoked to go and learn!! The talk they challenged us to read is
"Be 100% Responsible" by Lynn G. Robbins it is a BYU speech!
We had the chance to meet with Sandy a single lady in our ward! She is roughly 65 or so! She is so sweet and loves having us over! We have had great discussions with her and she is convert of about 5 years ago and loves the Book of Mormon! We have been studying with her! We got into a great discussion about the 2nd coming because we read in 3 nephi about Christ and somehow it got brought up. It was great!! :)
We had a mission Devotional every morning this week and I loved it!! We were trained on different ways to find and also on ways to be more involved with members and wards with mission plans and especially being with Youth! They have been the key!!
Meals by Grace is a charity that we help with!! It is a great opportunity to talk to their families that go as we help them shop! We get to hear about their life and bring up Christ what a great opportunity! :) we started another new finding method and it's where you call your first 6 number which is the area code then you start at 0001 and work your way up to 9999! As stupid as it might sound it works! We have referred people! And wow I'll have to explain more sometime but we have things we do that make it meaningful and very personal, so we choose what we want to talk about!
Honestly though we have people in our pool obviously we want more so we find everyday for about an hour or 2! Then everything else is meetings, mission plans with ward members, lessons, service, working with youth in the ward and their non member friends! Its incredible! We had a great District council this week and I'll talk about that at the end but!
3 families:
1. Banchon Family
2. Schmidt Family
3. Krischel Family
The Banchon Family is a family who lives with the Vasques family who are in the spanish branch! And we have been teaching their kids who are 7 and 8 preparing for baptism! The mom was a member and recently has decided she needs to come back and her husband is in prison but has told the bishop he wants the missionaries over so that the kids have a father figure in their lives! So we taught the Plan of Salvation with the pictures and everything and spoke about baptism. It was outstanding!
The next is the Schimdt family! It is a husband and wife and the wife is a member and the husband is not but has read the Book of Mormon! He was drunk when we last went over, on sunday, but hey no judge there! It's hard because he knows it's TRUE and wants to come to church but the wife doesnt want him to because of stuff but.... Elder Larson and I had a heart to heart with her and she cried and gave us a huge hug and said this is what BO needs right now! YOU TWO! so I think we are really gonna make some strides here :)
The last family is the Krischel family they have a daughter who is baptized and they come to church every week, they have callings, they do come follow me, go to all the activities in the ward, (EQ, RS, etc.) They are amazing but they just dont believe in Jesus! SUPER INTERESTING! so we have been teaching them and we are going over again this week. I will let yall know!!
Anyway to conclude! DISTRICT COUNCIL WAS GREAT! I dont have tons of time to get into it but I have a very special talk along with another talk I love and listened to for the training!
ALL ABOUT SELF MASTERY!
• "Our Goal is Perfection" - Oct 1976 William H. Bennett
• "Self- Mastery" - President Nelson Oct 1985
Both Great!! I have so much to say about that topic like LEGIT I have pages and pages from the scriptures, confernce talks, personal experiences, AHHH
But read those too and really think about Self- Mastery and talk to me next week about it!!
Love yall so much!
