Feb. 16: Bishop Gillespie and his family fed
us a cool dinner on Valentines Day. We each sat down and had a plate and a
menu. But no silverware, cups or food anywhere. The menu was a 3 course meal.
We got to select 4 things for each course. I don't remember what all the stuff
was but it was all coded. "the devil's tool" was a fork, "a
man's best friend" was some bacon, "pucker up" was grapefruit
juice, "love handles" was cinnamon rolls, "yellow diamonds"
was lemon bars, "cuddling" was the spoon and much more. It was really
fun. We could only have one course at a time. So in my first course I got no
silverware, so I had to eat all my food with my hands. So transfers are this
Wednesday. Elder Quijada and I are the only ones in our district that are
staying the same. So now I'm the district leader of what we call a relief
society district. 3 companionships of sisters, the APs (which we never see) and
the Zone Leaders (which we see every other week at district meeting). I guess
this is what I need so I can learn to love sister missionaries more haha:)
Feb. 23: This past week was good. We got to
have several great lessons with our investigators. We taught the Restoration to
them and they were loving it. We have a new investigator. He even loved Elder's
Quorum which I taught. The Elder's quorum president asked me to rebuke and
chasten the snot out of all of them for never doing their home teaching. I just
used scriptures and what they had to say about home teaching in the lesson. I
think the spirit did most of the rebuking cause "the guilty take the truth
to be hard."
March 2: This past week was kind of rough. We
were grounded to our apartments due to snow/ice weather for 4 days. Then we had
a great zone conference on Thursday, but that took up most of the day. On
Friday I gave a training on the talk, "flooding the earth with the book of
Mormon" by Ezra Taft Benson. It went pretty good.
March 23: Dakoda is coming down here today to
feed us and the sisters dinner. I love seeing him again. He is working on his
papers for his mission. I love that kid!. Elder Quijada and I have been
teaching like crazy and everything is now falling into place just before
transfers which are on April 1st. Myrna Lee is getting baptized this Saturday
the 28th. Paige is getting baptized April 1st in the evening. Anna is getting
baptized April 11th, the Saturday after general conference. And Lance is
getting baptized April 18th, the Saturday after Anna. If I get transferred I
will be making trips back here for almost every Saturday for the next 4 weeks
:)
Today we are going head to head with another
zone of missionaries, the Midwest City Phoenix
This week is going to be fun and exciting! As
you can see there are lots of baptisms and miracle happening here!: )I don't
want to leave:(
Love you!:)
