On Tuesday, we decided to send out a scripture text to a number of people we are teaching. After we sent it out, our phone exploded with people commenting and saying what they liked. It went super well. We then had a great lesson with Virginia who is super awesome! She has in the past not liked some of the Missionaires who had met with her. She has been reading in the Book of Mormon however and has felt the spirit and said she is starting to like the people in our church. Later, I went to Lake City with Elder Alder and Elder Adair was in our area with Elder Sanders. Elder Alder and I had a good night and taught some good lessons.
Wednesday, we did some service for a old couple; the Youngs. They were super nice and fed us breakfast after. When I was eating my eggs, I felt something crunchy when I was sticking my fork through a chunk and thought nothing of it. I put it in my mouth and chewed it up and came to realize it was a huge chunk of shell. I chewed it up and swallowed it. Haha! We found a lost sheep who has been inactive for many years as well as her husband who was interested who is an ex Jehovahs witness.
Thursday we had to wake up early and head off to Zone Conference. It was a good one and the main focus was on being representatives of Christ in all we do, using technology to involve members, and the purpose of the number goals we set. After we had some trainings on how to use some new cooking tools our whole mission will be getting. After, I went on a tradeoff with Elder Sanders in our area. We had dinner and correlation and that concluded our night.
Friday, we had a few good lessons and found someone before we traded back. After, we had weekly planning and that lasted until dinner. After, we saw Brian who's aunt passed away and he was going through a lot. We shared how we can all live again and did our best to comfort him. Then we went to a lesson with Tanisha and she is so elect. We set a baptismal date with her. She is so ready we may move it up a week or two. Haha.
Saturday we did a lot of phone work and got members together to help the people we teach and support them. Every member we got in contact with said yes so that is a highlight! The Live Oak branch is so awesome! We found another person who's husband is a member and taught her. She is awesome but can talk your ear off so we have to work really hard to stay on topic and teach. We had a lesson with a potential we found last week and she became a new person too.
Sunday, we had a full sacrament meeting. Brian came and we were expecting Tanisha but she didn't show. We found out she was in the hospital and had just gotten released later that day. We went out with a member and saw a referral and taught her and her roommate. We had a great lesson after with Brian reading in the Book of Mormon and helping him understand the context and apply it to himself. Also later, someone knocked on our door and we went outside and nobody was there. We looked around and found Elder Burg hiding! Haha it was great to see him again.
Our week was super filled the spirit and miracles. I know as we do our best to serve the Lord, and use the tools he has given us, we will be so blessed! Fill your week with scripture study and prayer and everything will be better. I can promise you that! I love and appreciate all y'all do and love serving the Lord! It's the best, I love it! Haha have a great week!
