Week 79

I've gotten some notifications that last week's email didn't go through to some people, so if you like it, please let me know.

MONDAY everyone did a bunch of transfer journal signing and goodbyes. We also played a bunch of different games like chair soccer, dodgeball, and pickleball.

TUESDAY we spent time packing, saying goodbyes to members, and picking up a missionary who had just come back after surgery and needed a companion until transfers. Then that evening, we got a final picture with the district.

WEDNESDAY we had transfers. I dropped off Elder Fetuao and picked up Elder Moody. We spent a lot of the day just introducing him to people and helping him get settled in.

THURSDAY the farm reopened after being closed for the holidays. It was pretty fun getting to help out there and meeting a lot of the new missionaries that came into the zone.

FRIDAY we had something unique happen. Elder Moody was actually transferred here to help out with deaf people in the stake, and so the stake had set up an ASL class for him to teach. It was a lot of fun getting to practice signing with people and helping them learn.

SATURDAY we helped some new senior missionaries move into the apartment complex. After that, we had our housing inspections and got some treats from it.

SUNDAY was just more of introducing Elder Moody to the members.

John 6:27 says, "27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed."

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...
