Hello Everyone!!
This Week has been Great!! Elder Pimsuwan and I are getting along great and I love serving in the Del Cerro ward.
We had a TON of meetings this week so its been crazy busy but its all good!
Last
Tuesday after P-day Elder Pimsuwan and I had to go to the mission
office and pick up a new missionary. At the beginning of every transfer
when we get a new group of missionaries in, the zone leaders are
responsible for taking one of the new missionaries out that night from 6-9 pm
and showing him what it's like to be a missionary and also housing them
that night. So Elder Pimsuwan and I had Elder Thomson for the night and
we went and saw one of our investigators named Rose. It was probably an
interesting visit for Elder Thomson because Rose is in her late 20s and
her house is super super messy and they just like to party and all that
but we tried to make him as comfortable as we could. At the end of the
night we went home and Elder Pimsuwan called a recent convert. There was some miscommunication and the recent convert got really upset and it
kind of freaked Elder Thomson out but we assured him that things like
that don't happen very often and the recent convert eventually calmed down
and apologized for freaking out haha.
Wednesday
was super super good! We started off the day by taking Elder Thomson to
the Mormon Battalion. All the new missionaries go to the Mormon
Battalion when they first get here.
Also last P-day I emailed one of my
previous zone leaders, Elder Arntsen, and told him that I was serving in
the ward he served in. He replied back and told me that he just got into
the area and was planning on being up where we were and decided to take us
out for dinner so that was way cool!
Thursday
we had a conference call with some other zone leaders in the surrounding
zones to plan MTE's (Missionary Training Exchange). During MTE's a
couple of zones get together and we receive training then go on exchanges
between zones. The Zone Leaders plan who goes with who and then we send
it to President and he changes everything to the way its supposed to be
haha!
That night we also had a JustServe meeting for the stake which was alright haha.
Friday
we had MLC (Missionary Leadership Council). During MLC all the zone
leaders and Sister Trainer Leaders get together and receive training from
President Schmitt and then we as Zone Leaders present that training in
Zone Meetings to the rest of the zone. MLC was really really good
though.
Saturday morning I taught our district
meeting. Since Elder Pimsuwan and I are Zone Leaders and District
Leaders we also have to teach District meeting but we switch off every
week. We also went the other District's meeting haha.
Sunday
I got to meet the ward and I found out that there are a couple of families
that were in my first area that moved to this ward so it was good to
see them again. I also found out that I am serving in the Riewerts ward!
That is Brother Riewerts parents, so that's pretty cool!
Yesterday I was in Spanish work with Elder Browne for the day because of MTE's.
Elder Browne is a super cool dude and an amazing singer! we had a blast
yesterday and got along super well! Yesterday we went to go see one of
their investigators named Leo who is 10 years old. While we were trying
to teach him, his friend kept interrupting and saying that he
had a question. It was really funny because he would like "I have a
question... I'm a really good drawer." haha we tried to tell him that
those aren't questions but he kept doing it so at the end of the lesson I
was like "I have a question.. you should read the book of Mormon with
Leo haha."
Lots and lots of meetings! And more
to come! But its all good! Life is good and our zone is on fire! We
had 3 baptisms this past weekend and one more this next Saturday in the
zone!
Hope you are all doing great!
Love you,
Elder Chris LaRochelle
