Hey
fam! It was a gooood week for the most part. A lot happened! I forgot to
mention last week that we went to the Temple and it was great! I guess you
figured that out from the pictures ;)
Went
to the farm Wednesday and picked rock. I even drove the backhoe for quite a bit
of the time and it was way fun. Had a really good talk with Jorden Hutchinson
about a mission and stuff. I really want him to go and he is 18 but he doesn't
know yet what he wants to do.
Thursday
had Zone Conference (Twin Falls North Zone and South Zone combined) it was
awesome cause I got to see some missionaries that I haven't seen for a while!
It was way fun. It was from 9 to 3 and we really learned a lot. Training was
mostly on Teaching in the Savior's Way and also received training on our
thoughts and staying positive and eating healthy! I asked her about energy
drinks and she said as long as they aren't addicting!
Got
a new family to teach! The lady, Bernice has a daughter and husband too but we
only taught her this time. She wants to find spiritual peace and she has met
with missionaries before in a different area. She is receptive and really nice
and said her husband and daughter are semi-receptive too!
Saturday
was awesome! We went to the Binghams to help trench the yard and lay down pipe
for the sprinkler system. It was hard work but fun. IT WAS HOT. in the 80-90
range. Also Justin Cleverly was there too and it was good to be around him
again. Went to the Morgans at 4 for an activity. Elders Quorum was skeet
shooting and they had barbeque too. We just ate the barbeque.... I wanted to
shoot reallyyy bad butttt I chose to be obedient to the rules.
Sunday
was fun! I spoke in sacrament and it started out where Martha Hernandez, Alex
Cordoba, Wanda Fraser (all recent converts) were going to speak and then Bro.
Nebeker would speak at the end. But I ended up getting called to take Bro.
Nebekers spot, and Martha and Alex couldn't come last minute. So Wanda gave her
talk and it was beautiful! I loved hearing it and she has progressed so much!
It means a lot to me because I was here 6 months ago for her baptism and I was
a part of the teaching so it brings me joy to see her still active and
progressing so much. She talked on how the gospel is an everyday gospel and not
just a Sunday church. Her testimony had so much conviction and I felt it! Then
I spoke after her and I spoke on my personal conversion and the blessings of
the gospel. I am planning on copying the talk and mailing it to y'all! I spoke
for about 15 minutes, trying to take up time and go with the spirit. I talked
about a lot more than what my notes say and it turned out good! At least that
is what people said, I didn't really remember what all I said haha. Then Bishop
Hulse got up and talked for the remaining 5 or 10 minutes.
This
week and next are going to be great! We have a lot of cool things planned!!!
:)
Love
y'all!!!
