I am reporting on my super eventful and uneventful week so here is my letter as elongated as I will or can make it.
So Monday we finished emails the computers went on the fritz before
that though so ya it was annoying and frustrating but it was all worked
out they thought it was this complicated problem but one of the Library
people just rebooted the system and it went back to normal. We were
planning for three super sweet lessons and we were hoping and pretty
sure they would go through but sadly that was not the case we got only
one and it was good but our investigator doesn't want to progress he is
reading and praying he doesn't really fully understand why he needs to
come to church or even why baptism is important so we are going to have
to teach him some basic things again, He knows The Book of Mormon is
true so that is a good start.
Tuesday we shared the A
savior is Born video with a member who is active our only really active Hispanic member so it was good to see him and the sad thing is he has to
go back to Mexico soon to finish his citizenship process so that is
going to be hard on us. We also saw a member who is struggling with
smoking and he is progressing he told the Bishop a friend and his Home
teacher of his Goal to quit smoking so that is super awesome I know he
can and will quit he just has to keep going forward. We had dinner with
the Cambell or Campbell family I forgot how to spell it but the cool
thing is growing up he was Neighbors to Todd Summerhays my Physics
Teacher in High school, and he has a quilt of all the High schools in
Utah he has been in (He did cleaning out of schools to sell their old
stuff to charter schools) and in the center he has the Olympus O so I
will have to get a picture with this quilt. We also got to go out to eat
ice cream with a less active and her non-member husband and it was a
good time visiting with them we hope we might be able to reactivate them
coming up soon, but to make the day better we went around downtown
during our down time and tried to pass out a Savior is born cards ya
people tried to avoid us so that was sad but it was still funny to see
what lengths people went to to ignore us.
Wednesday
we had a good time we helped out at the people city mission they love us
because we work hard and do what we're told when we're told we then ran
to a members for dinner more like drove but the same idea we had a good
quick dinner of Enchiladas we then hurried back to meet up the Elders
in the Mahoney area to hand over an investigator family we had received
as a referral we split up and I went to teach/find some Hispanics that
Elder Vagas knew of so we had fun driving around for a bit we then met
back up and rushed off to meet up with the Elders quorum President to go
meet with the Quirino Family that we found and teach them the
missionary lessons.
Thursday we were at the Christmas Conference practically all day so we left when it was dark and
drove there in the dark and we drove home in the dark so it was kind of
weird. we Had Navajo or Indian tacos with the Sibbetts then met up with
a potential investigator named Wilfredo a very impatient man the first
time we met him but he was nice and we shared with him most of the
restoration and he had some misconceptions about who Mormons were so we
cleared that up and it was good we hope to see him again soon we might
have a hard time getting him baptized due to some barriers like most Hispanics but I have high hopes for him.
Friday all
we did was weekly plan and set up for the ward Christmas party, none of
the people who are technically in charge showed up so it was lame we
became the wards slaves but they gave us a ton of meat at the end.
Saturday we did service had the shortest craziest exchange ever and went ot the adult session of stake conference
Sunday
pretty much the same had breakfast with brother beck and correlation
meeting and then we had a sweet team up with Chelem to see a family he
knows and it was super good we are going to have to set up a time to go
back w then finished some weekly planning we didn't get to do because of Christmas party and that was our week not super eventful but very
meaningful
