Then Saturday we had a couple get sealed in the temple. We didn't get to go,
but it was still cool. And we were like "ya free food" at their wedding
reception, which we helped a little bit with. And we ran into our sister
missionaries for the first time since they got back, and ya it was
interesting. Then
Sunday we did an area redivide, and that was
good. And we got instructions for our ward plan as missionaries, from our
stud of a bishop. He really gets the gospel and the importance of
families, which are ward struggles with.
Then last Monday we visited with one youth, helping him with going on a mission
Tuesday
we got two member present lessons, and it rocked. We are really on a roll
here: one with a part member family; the other with a little white girl,
who wants to go to the Spanish ward.
Then Wednesday we had a
sweet lesson with an investigator family that has been struggling to
progress and we have figured out the problem, and our starting over the
lessons and more about that later. Well, we are now teaching two white
girls and a black girl that want go to to the Spanish ward! Ya wow, my
first baptisms won't even be Latino! It is so weird, but we will catch up
in the Latino baptisms soon after.
Thursday was
unproductive. as I was on exchanges and we only tried to see two people. I
am learning what type of missionary I should not be, not what type of
missionary I should be right now. So we only visited with one
person, and it was a great lesson. I rebuked her on her marital problems
and handed them the solution The Family: A Proclamation to the World; and be
who you want to be married to; and work as a team; and do you like
something about him, or do you love Him? So it was awesome in that
aspect.
Well Friday was the mission tour, where we had Brent
H. Neilsen of the Quorum of the Seventy come and teach us and uplift us
and rebuke us all in the same day, and it was good. I took tons of
awesome notes, I am going to refer back to for the rest of my mission. I
was so excited for it and I learned so much, but one huge thing that was
brought up. He said, "Disobedient Missionaries Baptize To Their Own
CONDEMNATION," as was taught him by David A. Bednar. So I never want to
be disobedient. We also got to see many missionaries from all over the
mission. I forgot to mention that it got cold on Tuesday, so it was
frigid Friday
Saturday we decided to go and do some service
at the trail center setting up some stuff for Christmas, and IT SNOWED. And it was fun to see it snow, but it didn't snow a lot. And after, service,
we went and taught our investigator family The Restoration, and it was
amazing. The video is just what they needed. And then we went home and
the ZLs came and did an apartment inspection, and after they left and
after we ate dinner, we grounded the cars because of the road conditions. So we walked thirty minutes to our appointment luckily, and sadly, we got a
ride back from the family. But it was fun, we have awesome pictures to
send soon, so that was awesome!
Sunday we went to church and
did weekly planning, and that was boring but very needed. I love my snow
clothes, especially when night comes and temperatures are about to drop. Ya
it is biting cold with humidity, so that is my week

Oh
P.S. as per advice from my companion, send all packages to the apartment
and letters to the mission office, because packages don't get forwarded
but letters do and that ensures safe delivery but whatever works no worries until I leave Omaha then my apartment is a must for perishable
items Sincerely,
Elder Logan Joseph Draper
