Theme from Jaws, Oh's No's Doors, This is what My Leaders Do?, Sign Fun
Tis' a strange week no? First of all we only saw Jenn once and that
was for about a thirty minute period of time so I am a bit confused as
to where everything went this past week. Anyways this week is week six
or in other words the end of the transfer. I already have plans to be
packing my bags since I'm pretty doubtful of my continued stay. I've
been very blessed in the fact that this is my favorite area and that I
was given the opportunity to be here so long with those that I love.
So here we go for the week.
So we began the week extremely busy with the last half pretty well
dead. We went to Brother Abad's as well as Mike's for the Memorial
Day Celebration. It was a very quiet celebration but a celebration
none the less. Mike had made cheese dogs before we had gotten there
and had kept them safe in the microwave for us... Well if you saw that
microwave you would only eat one dog out of respect as well ;3.
On Tuesday we had quite a few lessons that kept us busy. We went back
to Mike's house and had a pretty awesome lesson. We talked about
magnifying our callings which was new and a ways from the beaten trail
for him. Is was a very spiritual lesson though we left with both
sides a bit confused on how he can magnify setting up chairs before
church :/. Hopefully he will be called to be a ward missionary here
soon.
We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Brianna and Meloney. I swear
that I can here the Jaws theme song every time that we go over
there... Just waiting for the darn shark to burst from the water since
I know that Meloney is at that stage where she knows, it's just
figuring out what is holding her back ya know? We need her soon to
other wise I feel that keeping Brianna over the summer will be a bit
hard without family support ya know? It'll all work out.
We then had a lesson with Miguel which was sweet. He's so amazing. 10
PM Saturday night we still had no ride to church for him and he
requested to be skyped in haha. Thankfully we found him a ride.
Wednesday we had a really good time with Brian. We finally braved up
to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it went very well. He told us
that he has come to the conclusion that either Joseph Smith was one of
the Smartest men in 1830's or that the Book is true haha. He's been
praying a lot and said that since he wasn't sure what to look for that
he asked God to make two thumps if the book was true and then heard
something crash outside... But it was only one so he was confused
haha. So we talked a lot on the spirit.
We should also officially be meeting his wife on Wednesday so
hopefully we can set a good impression so that she'll let her husband
be baptized ;). After this event though everything just kinda fell
through for the rest of the week :/. Pretty depressing but as Bruce R.
McConkie stated the caravan moves onnnnnnnn........
However there were a few interesting moments. There are those people
in your life, especially missionary life that you just avoid. In this
case it's because this person is nuts and likes to call me and tell me
about revelations twelve and how everything in the Book of Mormon is
true besides what she thinks is racism. I'll get to the point.... I
knocked a door and that very person answered the door and my stomach
dropped, Bleck!!!
Strange as usual so I leave from there to Friday. For the first time
ever under President Anderson all district leaders were invited to the
Mission Leadership Coordination meeting. I thought it would be fun and
exciting, it had its moments and being taught by President was good...
However I found out that for pretty much the last hour it's just zone
leaders and Sister Training Leaders tossing ridiculous rules around
:/. Thankfully nothing new was implemented since President Anderson
has stepped away from carpet ruling (rules that should only govern a
few but restrict the rest of us). It was a bit aggravating.
Well Saturday we helped a member move down the street which was easy
since there were literally eight items to move. It's alright though
since we got water ice which is dang good stuff! Last but not least we
had a fun time at church yesterday. Noticing that Miguel wasn't having
the easiest time lip reading we talked with him via iPad when he then
began to teach us sign language. Super simple as well as fun to do
haha. If you want to see what I'm talking about go to the gospel
library app and switch the language to ASL and then watch a conference
talk. Trust me 😏.
