FROM MARCH 31 ....
Dang this week has been pretty sweet!
Last
Wednesday I went on my first exchange as a district leader with one of
my zone leaders! It was pretty good. At first I didn't want to be a
district leader but now that I am one I like that I get to know
missionaries a lot better and stuff.
On Friday I had my
second district meeting as district leader and it went pretty well.
Elder Kiser is a funny kid but super distracting during district meeting
haha but its all good he means well. I taught on the Christ like
attributes and we talked about the "Because He Lives" video.
On
Sunday we had to do a presentation for "Because He Lives" to the ward. It was pretty sweet! Right after that we taught Elders Quorum it went
pretty well. The Elders Quorum here is amazing! After that we went to
the Mission Presidents Fireside and sang in the choir. It was super hot. We were all dying of heat haha. Elder Kiser plays the violin at most of
the Mission President firesides but he didnt play at this last one.
Yesterday
was a pretty interesting day to say the least. We went with our
assistant ward mission leader to go talk to Laura and see if we can get
her and her family coming back to church and it went ok. She didnt seem
very happy to see Elder Kiser instead of Elder Arney but it went
alright. We are slowly softening her heart.
Then we decided we
would go and visit a less active in the ward. On the
way to her house we walked past a guy named Steve. So we went up and
talked to him and he has a serious smoking problem. He had tobacco all
over his chest from his pipe and his gums were all black and stuff. It was pretty gross but he is a pretty nice guy we will see if he is
willing to change. When got to her house her grandson let us
in and we come in and see this older lady sitting on a couch surrounded
by dogs. When the dogs see us they just come running over to us and they
were all barking and stuff. It was nuts. We ask her if we can sit down
and talk and she tells us of course just let me get you a towel to sit
on so she puts some towels down on her couch and I immediately get
swarmed with dogs so I get up pretty quick and look around for Elder
Kiser and I cant see him because there are dogs all over him. He is
finally able to get up and we ask her if we can meet outside. We ended
up having a nice conversation with her and she told us that she has 21
dogs, 10 cats, 5 ducks, 5 chickens, birds and more. It was pretty gross. I
wasn't a big fan of that place. After that we went over bishops house and
had a good time haha :P
We went shopping again this
week haha. Elder Kiser had to return some things and I bought some shoes
and sweater last week and some socks this week haha.
Elder
Kiser and I are getting along great though. We work really well
together and have high goals for ourselves for this area. Since we have
been companions we have added 10 investigators and doubled our lessons
we are teaching. We are on fire and we dont plan on slowing down.
Well I love you all and hope I hear from you soon. :)
Love
