Hey Friends!
Wassssssup? This week was crazy! Oh my Gosh! Wow! This week we learned a
lot about finding people to teach. Personally I learned about building
my own testimony. The 3 key points that I learned this week for a
lasting conversion and to continue to learn are as follows : 1. Read the
Book of Mormon, 2. Pray, and 3. Go to church. These three things are
what I have learned about for the past 19 years of my life. Huh, can I
take a hint maybe? They are so important to having a lasting conversion.
Do all you can and then after will God and Jesus Christ make up the
rest. :) I love this Gospel!
Monday - We had transfers which were crazy! Oh man! That was such a long day! Whew!
Tuesday - Normal day, except for the fact that I did emails because we
did not have time on P-day to do them. That was ridiculous! :) We had so
much to do! But we got some good studies done, and taught one lesson on
Facebook. That was fun! We also taught one of our investigators named
A..... That was the first time Elder Etchart and I taught together.
Interesting, we are pretty good together. It was pretty good!
Wednesday - We did our studies and used Facebook to try to confirm an
appointment that we had originally. That was interesting, but we got
pizza for dinner! Oh man, that was good. I have not had pizza for so
long, almost 14 weeks. Whew! That was awesome!
Thursday - We had out District meeting, in which Elder Etchart and I
were asked to demonstrate a finding situation like a street contact in
front of President Bowen. That was fun..... Oh man, we did okay, our
Spanish is still coming along, needs a lot more work though! That was
fun, then we had subway for lunch, though it wasn't (Fresh!) that good.
Friday - We got our I-pads. That is right. I said it. We had a 4 hKour
meeting that morning, and then had studies to do , and weekly planning.
Basically we are removing all paper from the mission. Our planners and
area books are now the I-pads. The I-pads are locked down too. They are
under this App. called AirWatch, and it is a big brother app. It is a
one-strike policy, so yeah pretty scary. But basically we have 3 weeks
to put all of our area book information into the I-pads, and we can no
longer use planners. It is all I-pad. It is so hard! It takes forever to
plan, might I tell you. Wow! It is hard to use the Ipads, because
especially in my area, I have the 2nd most dangerous area in the
mission. There are literally shots fired almost every night. I do not
want to carry an Ipad with me on the streets. But that is what they are
asking of us. I miss physical copies of the scriptures too. I can not
find anything any more..... :) But yeah, I have an I-pad, I feel cool
now..... :)
Saturday - We had our ward coordination meeting, and then had language
study with Doctor Swenson, he is awesome, we learned a ton! We also
pretty much used the Ipads all day to get used to them. There was a
wedding that we went to ! That was cool! And that is pretty much it! I
also got a nap in during lunch! YES!
Sunday - Ward council at 7am, so I got up at 5:30am. That was fun.
Church started at 9am, and it was awesome, I understood a ton! I am
getting a lot better at Spanish! Yes! I am loving it here! Church was
just awesome, even though we get into a pickle a lot about what is
doctrine and what is opinion, because a lot of people have their own
ideas.
This week rocked! Every once in a while we will hit a bump on the road.
It doesn't matter, get over the bump and keep going! We will always be
able to keep going with the help from our Savior Jesus Christ, and our
Heavenly Father. "Just keep swimming."
I love my mission. I am doing my best our here, and now especially with
the responsibility of using I-pads, I am going to work and try even
harder. Thank you for all of your support. I am sorry that my email was
so short this week. My bad! Next week will be extra long! :) Thanks for
everything!
