I have had an interesting week, the definite highlight of coolness and adventures was Conference. I will
start at the beginning and then go to the present as usual, because I am a
creature of habit so deal with it because you love me and I love you.
We had district meeting early on Tuesday so we could go into
interview with President Weston on time, and they were good, we had a
good discussion. I am only speaking Spanish, or at least I am trying. It
is hard when you have to work with English speakers and stuff so ya, my
goal kind of died but I am keeping it alive. We were told by the senior
couple in our district to threaten a kid who is apostate, who used to be
in their Sunday School classes. So we gave him a note and it was
interesting, he really doesn't care what happens in the end with his rebelliousness. An Alma the Younger wouldn't work, sadly. ;(
Wednesday, the Big day, we had four lessons which is good. We
taught the restoration twice to new investigators, so we got two news,
which rocked. The Really cool guy, who we usually teach on Sundays, we
almost lost him because he doesn't feel that we can or needs to come
back to church and we had the doubts lesson and it was awesome. We are
praying for him.
Thursday we had exchanges
and nothing worked out at all, like nothing.Iit was crazy, oh and I forgot
to mention our car went into the shop the week before so we got it back
on Thursday and it is nice, they even cleaned it for us which rocked so
nice because now it smells good! like really Good. We then got back
together earlier than planned and we were able to go to our appointments
like we liked and we had a cool lesson on reading the scriptures and
fasting and praying for help and answers to questions, and it was cool.
Friday we had weekly planning and we gave out a BoM
without leaving our apartment, because the apartment people finally
sent someone to fix our carpet, and it was cool so we are hopefully going
to track the guy down and start teaching him or refer him to the north
Elders. No one came to soccer, so it was sad, and the one lesson that
worked out the guy just wanted to fight with us. Oddly enough that is
how we had predicted it would go in the role-play we did, so that was
funny.
Saturday we had stayed over with the
other Elders to help save their miles, because we have lots. Well we had
to go get Johnson's shoes because he forgot them and that was funny. Well
we had Elder Maradiaga plug in the address of the closest stake center
which was close by actually it was in Pappillion well he put the city as
OMAHA, instead of being in North Pappillion we were in NORTH OMAHA. And
we were twenty minutes from the nearest stake center before we turned
around, we had said "this isn't right," but then we would all silence them
with "no, we are fine." We all took our turns but ya. We were forty minutes
late, when we maybe would have been ten minutes late, so we basically
missed the first half of the first session so I would like a copy in
English of the Conference Ensign. But it was funny, we are always late
when we are with them, and it is so annoying but what can you do.
Sunday was better, we did it by ourselves since the
other Elders begged their way into member homes and Johnson and I just go
with it and are chill. Some of the members like us better, and some like
them better. Well we have a ton of Extra miles and we could go to Sioux City and Everyone but me wanted to go, so I consented if we could get permission and Elder Paounessa said, "oh I give us permission to go," Well
funny thing is, he doesn't have the authority and we asked the Zone
Leaders because I made Johnson do which he was grateful for, and they
said "NO you can't go to Sioux City." So I was relieved to not be in Sioux
City today. Well Pao was mad, as expected, but ya he is not a God Fearing
man but my week was good.We played volleyball and basketball in Council
Bluffs and it was fun and that sums up my week. I will tell you more in
my box-package-letter thing I am sending to you because I still need to
send the Ipod home, shhh don't tell.
I Love you all
Love
Logan Joseph Draper
Sincerely,
Elder Logan Joseph Draper
