Month in Review...




Here is a little review of the past month:

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 zone. Elder Debenham, my MTC companion, is a district leader in that zone and he is training Elder Riffenberg, who is from 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!:)
