Week 77

This was a week with a ton of miracles for the whole zone! We saw a lot of people be put on date for baptism and had a lot of meetings.

MONDAY we had a Zone vs. Zone basketball game between our zone and the El Paso zone. It was a pretty good game, and I even got to play in it a bit. We ended up losing, but it was still really good.

TUESDAY we got our car cleaned for zone conference the next day. That morning, while we were at the gym, we had some random guy call us and say he wanted to see the church, so we set up a lesson with him at the church for later that day. He was really cool and really prepared to receive everything that we taught him.

WEDNESDAY we had zone conference, and what made it special was that the area president, Elder Alonso, was there and gave really cool advice to the missionaries.

THURSDAY was just some weird lessons and an even weirder Bible study that someone invited us to.

FRIDAY I went on exchanges to another of the district leader areas. Something that happened that was pretty cool was that we had gone to a spot to do some door-knocking and ran into another two sets of missionaries who had planned to be there. Another thing was that at one of their lessons with one of their friends, the Spirit was super strong, and I ended up putting him on date for baptism.

SATURDAY one of the sister missionaries gave us this Lego set for some roses and asked us to make it and give it back to her, so I just spent some time during lunch and after 9 finishing the whole thing. We also had the adult session of stake conference, which was really cool.

SUNDAY we had a ton of lessons before and after stake conference. It was a really fun day, but we almost ran out of gas, which was a little sketchy.

John 16:22 says, "And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you."

Week 43

This email won't be too long because the only thing that really happened this week was that both Elder Shawcroft and I got a stomach bug which knocked us out for the week. It was a rough couple of days, but we're back in shape and are excited to return to the work. MONDAY we had our last p-day of the transfer down in Santa Fe. We played a bunch of dodgeball with the whole zone for a bit and then a handful of us started playing the one board game called 7 Wonders with one of the senior missionaries. The rest of the day was pretty normal, except at the very end when Elder Shawcroft started having symptoms from the stomach bug. TUESDAY we just stayed inside and let Elder Shawcroft work on recovering. WEDNESDAY we managed to have a phone lesson with one of our friends we had been teaching for a bit, Anna. It went really well and they are loving the gospel so much. Then that night I ended up getting hit with the stomach bug which was really rough. We also found out that both of us a...

This was a really good week, but a lot of it is kind of blurred together. There's a day where I'm thinking that we talked to a certain person just yesterday, but it was really three days ago. At least that means the days are going quickly. MONDAY was a fun and sad day. At zone p-day, we had a lot of fun playing basketball, board games, and just hanging out, but we also said goodbye to a sister who was going home early. It's sad to see missionaries go home early in every case, but I know that the Lord has a plan for each and every one of us. At dinner that night, we got to hold some snakes that this member family had. It was pretty cool to be able to hold them and feel them, but Elder Stanger was not as excited as I was. For the last bit of the day, we were able to have a lesson with the bishop of one of our wards and a less active family that we had been meeting with, and you could just feel the bishop's love for them. It's always amazing just how much the gospel un...

Don't worry, I didn't miss a week; we just had our p-day moved to Christmas Eve! This email will be slightly longer, but next week's will be a bit shorter. MONDAY we made cookies with our district before everyone got together for p-day. We didn't have a mixer, so they just made me use my hand to mix the dough. TUESDAY we had a couple of really good lessons with some of the people we met. I also had a meeting with all the other social media trainers in the mission to help get them prepared for the new transfer. WEDNESDAY nothing went as we planned. We had everything set up a certain way that morning during daily planning, and by the end of the day, our schedule was completely different! THURSDAY I took a bit of time getting some presents and letters ready for my last and current mission presidents. FRIDAY we woke up with no hot water in the apartment, which really sucked when we had to get showered! This last transfer had mixed up the zone a bunch, so I had a good time g...
