Week 78

Transfer week has come again. I now only have 4 transfers left, which really doesn't feel like a lot of time.

MONDAY we went to this aquarium/zoo at the mall nearby with the district! It was a lot of fun because we got to do a ton of stuff like feeding stingrays and a porcupine, holding a bunch of different lizards, and petting some wallabies. When we were walking around, one of the workers actually asked me if I wanted to help them feed some of the bigger fish, so that was pretty fun.

TUESDAY it was really cold again. Not much else than that, but I really don't like the cold.

WEDNESDAY we ended up getting a little distracted helping out the senior missionaries in the mission office. I honestly feel a little spoiled having the mission office in my area because we're just able to stop by anytime.

THURSDAY we had a couple of lessons throughout the day. Nothing super solid, but it's still nice to be able to share small messages.

FRIDAY Elder Fetuao set up our district council as a scavenger hunt type of thing. It was pretty fun because he had us going all over the church praying, teaching the senior missionaries, and even going out and tracting a little.

SATURDAY we went on exchanges. My day on the exchange ended up just being 4 hours of service and another hour of helping out the SMLs, but at least it was fun. We also got transfer news that night, and Elder Fetuao is leaving and my new companion is named Elder Moody.

SUNDAY we spent a lot of time visiting members to say goodbye.

Luke 17:3-4 says, "3 ¶ Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him."

All of the pictures are from the zoo.

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...
