Hey everyone, I hope you’re having a
great week. For me this week went super fast. We had our Zone conference this
week so we were able to meet with a bunch of missionaries from our area
and that was really cool. We had trainings on how we can better invite and get
our people we are teaching to come to church. President Tveten was showing us
how to better study the scriptures and gave us lots of good ideas to study and
take notes digitally and everything.
We got a new scripture to memorize
in Alma 31:5
5 And now, as the preaching of the
word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it
had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or
anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was
expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.
On Tuesday some members took us out
to dinner at this BBQ restaurant called Smoke Shack. They had the best BBQ I
ever had. I got a picture of the menu and what I got.
This week we also had a small
English class at the church. We had 4 people show up and it was really fun to
help them understand some basic English from Spanish. It actually helped me a
little bit with my Spanish also haha. We had a chapel tour with someone we
found on Facebook. He didn't seem to be interested but it was cool
because we gave him a Bible and Book of Mormon.
On Sunday we had dinner at a nonmember’s
house and they were also having a super bowl party at the same time. So we
ended up facing away from the TV at the table and everyone was going crazy
during the game. It was super funny and stuff but they had some really good
BBQ.
We gave two blessings in Spanish
this week as well and that was really cool because I got to practice a little
more. One of the people we gave a blessing to was a nonmember and was super
old. She was super grateful for us to give her a blessing. She tried to pay us $20
each and it was super funny but we told her we wouldn't take it and that
it would be wrong to. We told her what our purpose was and that we were here to
serve and she was even more happy.
This week I have felt very blessed
and I’m very grateful to be here helping and serving others. I hope
you are all having a great week and can't wait to talk to y’all later.
