Missionarying

Hey! This weeks been pretty killer! Last Monday we just chillaxed 😜 took like a 3 hour nap. It was pretty glorious. But it messed up my sleep schedule major bad.

Backflippin some trees

Tuesday we had district meeting! It was my first district meeting as a district leader, it went really well. Trainings from the missionaries were good, and it all ran smoothly. Good stuff. (: I gave a quick training at the end as well on Christ like attributes. Our president invited us to pick one each week and work on it before we take the sacrament on Sunday. It's good stuff I recommend it to everybody. (: After district meeting I went on exchanges with Elder Van Dyken one of the zone leaders in our area. It was a blast. We saw a recent convert and gave him a blessing because he's been pretty sick, then we went and met with this man Derek. A member of the ward basically taught him everything about mormons and said if you want to put a ring on it, you gotta do all this stuff. 😂 hahaha They are like in their 70's. He already believes its the true church though. We taught him the restoration and committed him to baptism. So good stuff for the zone leaders. We had some tea, then visited a less active, then visited Elder Van Dykens recent convert Tara. She is super nice and fed us more food. One of her friends Pravin was there. He is a free mason and told us some stuff about free masonry. Super interesting to learn about.

Falling off castles

The next day we finished up the exchange. It was a good exchange for sure. Elder Van Dyken is the man. We saw some people that afternoon snagged some Macky's and tried by some people. Pretty average day nothing too exciting. Oh yeah we got this pretty solid couple as investigators who we will be seeing tonight. Should be good. (: 

Elders Edwards, Van Dyken, Kitchen, and Stiff.

Thursday was weekly planning. It was really good, we set some goals for this transfer to have 2 baptisms and we are working really hard towards it. President sent a super good message about having faith, which is the power to baptise. It got us hyped and so we are having the faith to baptise. And trying to work smarter rather than harder. Good stuff. We had a killer afternoon and got like 3 more investigators. Good stuff.

Friday we had a lesson with a former investigator. He knows the church is true, he just doesn't want to change. Interesting. We'll see what we can do with that. (: we got a couple more investigators that day which was solid. Also I landed on my head doing this run up a hill backflip thingy so that was pretty fun.
Photo shoots for days

Saturday we had more Macky's (ugh) then had a street display. It was a good one, I met some pretty interested people, one who we will be seeing tomorrow. Should be good. Pretty average afternoon after that, just trickin around.
Sunday was super average. Pretty much nothing to report, except some tracting and church. 'Twas good though. (:
Elder Kitchen (top left) fell off that backwards shortly
after this pic was taken. What an animal.

Today has been killer so far. We went to a castle with Elders Van Dyken and Kitchen and had some good times, took loads of pictures. We were taking pictures by a waterfall and Elder Kitchen fell of a little cliff onto rocks. Backwards. Not even sure how the legend is alive. Just minor scratches. Killer day!😁
Hope you all have a great week this week! Love yall!
