Week
update
This
last week has been a pretty good one, It is starting to
get really cold. But that's alright I've got some warm clothes to wear! It has
been really rainy as well! Nothing too exciting has really happened. Just
another week in the neighborhood. We got some referrals this week so we are
hoping that they will pan out! Today I'm headed down to the temple, Elder
Johnson is going to a Broadway play so Elder Holtom and I are going to cruise
around and then go to the temple so it will be a pretty good day!
Thursday we had another MLC! This
one was with some of the people at the missionary department. It was pretty good.
We talked a lot about how to plan. We did this one activity where we would
watch one of the district videos (videos that are used to train missionaries)
about nightly planning and broke it down piece by piece to see what they did
and sort of did a play by play of it. It was pretty interesting, a 15 minute
clip was broken up to an hour and a half long training event. It was a little
long but good.
Friday was pretty good also, it was just a average day of
looking less active people up and tracting, nothing really to report there.
Saturday was full of service, we started by raking leaves for one of our investigators,
and she has a huge yard. But we got it done which is good. The fall here
is amazingly beautiful, but it also makes for a frick ton of leaves. Anyways
after we were done raking leaves we went and helped to set up for the wards
fall festival, it went pretty well. We made cotton candy for a bit and made a
mess so we were relieved soon after. The fall festival was great though.
Sunday
was good, a Russian family one of the Ward members met on a train came to
church, they seem a little weirded out, they said it was very different from the
Russian Orthodox Church. Which I could imagine. But they said they were going
to come again! So we will see how that goes.
Monday was average, district
meetings went well. In the evening one of the priests from the Ward texted us
and asked if he could come out with us, which was awesome so we had him come
and ended up teaching two lessons with him so it was a real treat.
Tuesday was
pretty uneventful, we went and did service at the old folks home, which was
pretty good. One of our favorite old lady's is sick which stinks, the rest of
the day was pretty quiet. I've been practicing my bagpipes, they seems harder
to blow then I remember! But all is well! I hope you all have a great
week!
