Dear Family and Friends and Fuzzy Creatures,
This week was an exciting week we had lots of fun with being crazy
missionaries and doing our job, which also includes sitting in meetings.
Monday I don't have much to say for that day as usual, other than we
played basketball and I made some pretty sweet/crazy shots. I shot over
some pretty tall Elders draining it, so they were shocked and so was I.
(Good can come from passing the ball to me.
)
We also had a sweet lesson with this man who has been meeting with the
Elders and we talked with him. I asked him basically, "Do you know what
blessings come from obeying the commandments of God?" He was like,
"No........ "(for some reason culturally Hispanics especially Mexicans with
a Catholic background Fear God and his Judgement and don't really
believe to strongly in blessings. At least for some of the people we are
teaching right now) and so we helped him start to understand that God
wants to bless him. So we are going to see him today and just teach him
about how God wants to bless us.
Tuesday we got up
early to get ready to go to Zone conference out in Grand Island, and we
had a sweet meeting with Elder Martino. He addressed us on several
things he felt inspired to cover. One of the big ones being FAITH in
Jesus Christ and CHARITY. So it was really good to learn more about
those. We got to see lots of missionaries and I got to see the only
other missionary from Olympus there, Sister Reynolds (she is friends with
Logan Mathie and the same age as cousin Em).
Wednesday
we had some sweet visits with some members and that was good. One lady
who has avoided us whenever we have gone to see her husband came out to
join us for the prayer before we left. So it was awesome, so miracles
happen everyday. We also went and did service at the People City Mission
and had some great adventures. One man was attacked and got his throat slit (sort of we aren't quite sure) and so we had eleven police cars
and an ambulance. So it was crazy luckily it happened outside where very
few people were, but he is okay. So that was our adventure.
Thursday
we got up and went to meet up with our zone leaders to do an exchange,
so that was fun. The highlight would have to be teaching a guy in Burger King. We got a call from missionaries in Grand Island saying, "Do you
remember so and so? Ya well he has moved to Lincoln and he wants you to
meet him there, in well now!" So that was super exciting.
Friday we did lots of weekly planning and such. We only got to see one person, so the week was slow.
Saturday
we went and saw a few members of the ward council trying to compile a
list of names of people they would like us to see, and then after that we
just had horrible luck all day trying to see people even those with
whom we had appointments, but at least our Dinner Appointment went
through Papa Murphy's pizza!
Sunday
the longest day of the week just sitting at church from 11/10 till
four it makes ADOS Elders like myself go crazy, even if we are
missionaries. It was good though we had a good day with trying to see
people, we had a member come with us and he was our GPS after our
appointment to get us to his house (he knew Lincoln very well).
Well that is my week,
