Monday
Today was a pretty good day it was my P-Day so I did all of
the stuff that I needed to do to prepare myself for the upcoming week. I got a
haircut, went shopping and finally went to a fair well party for a missionary
who is going to die as of Wednesday. After that party we went to a few
ministering with members and overall had a great time with our day.
Tuesday
Today was a pretty relaxed day until dinner which is when it
got busy. After dinner we went to a non-member appointment with a guy named
Cidi. He is a pretty interesting guy who is a professor up at USU. He is a very
smart guy and we really have to think about what we say to him when we talk to
him about the gospel. He really makes us think with the questions that he asks
so he is a fun guy to be teaching.
Wednesday
Today was the day that everyone got officially transferred
and put in their new homes and with their new companions. My companion did not
change nor did my area but our district has only four missionaries that are the
same from last transfer and we now have 6 companionships in our district which
means that we have 1/3 of the district that is the same. It has been a fun day
overall, what makes it better is that we got our first snowfall today.
Thursday
Today started of pretty good. We started off our first day
in the new transfer going for to a district meeting so we got to see all of our
new district the day after transfers. Right after district council we had a
service and we went and did some manual labor in the yard of member who needed
some help removing stumps and roots from her yard. After that we had the rest
of our day chocked full of member visits witch was nice but I had our keys
hooked to my belt loop and one of our key rings fell off somewhere in that last
4 hours of our day. So we are looking for our keys. 😶😏😐
Friday
So we found our keys which was great. It was a pretty good
day we had a huddle with our senior couple the Waldners and had a good time
with them. We spent most of our day in a church building doing weekly planning
as well as calling and texting people so that we can set up member
appointments. In Utah, especially in providence where I am located knocking
doors or doing really any sort of traditional proselytizing is not effective at
all. So we work through the members to find people to teach.
Saturday
Today we texted a lot of people in our area in order to
arrange for more member visits on our part. That went well and then our zone
leaders came by and helped us Role-play during our additional Companionship
study. It went well I still need to work on a lot of things in regards to teach
and my T.H.E. Skills which are basically Tone Hands Eyes. I need to stop
sounding like a robot Not playing with my hands as I speak and yo keep eye
contact with the person whom I am speaking to. The really interesting thing
that happened today was that I got to meet one of the actors that's in the Book
of Mormon videos and see a little bit of what made them want to do certain
things in the episodes. So it has been a good day.
Sunday
Today we met with both of our family Stake Presidents and
talked to them about what we are doing and going to do in their stakes. We had
dinner at a members home and had pizza with brownies for dessert. After that we
visited with four more member families and shared with them messages about
ministering and what we could do as missionaries to help them with their
missionary efforts. But this week has really been a pretty quiet week in
missionary efforts. We are hoping to be picking it up next week. But when most
of the people you teach are through member referrals it gets hard to find when
people don't send us referrals. We are doing the best we can though and we are
hoping to have a baptism this month. So please pray for us and for our
non-member Heather that she will be able to get over the problems that are
preventing her from getting baptized.
