So things went alright this week for us. We
were able to get in contact with a few of our referrals this week and from that
we now have 2 new families to begin teaching and hopefully we will be getting
atleast 1-2 more families to start teaching :). Also, one of the
less-active people we have been working with came to church again for the 2nd
time now :). It's so amazing to see how much the lord is helping us in
the work. I seriously see it everyday from him reminding us about stuff,
because me and my comp are a little forgetful sometimes hahaha, to him giving
us people to teach and leading us right to them. We had a cool experience
the other week. We were going to go contact someone that had previously
been visited by missionaries and while on the way we get this phone call from a
member who was asking if we would go visit the exact family we were about to go
visit. So when we got there we found the husband outside and just started
to talk with him. He said his wife really wants to start coming back to
church again and that he himself would really like to get involved with the
missionaries and learn more about the church. I love being a missionary
:).
This last week there was this huge Priesthood
Scouting encampment and they gave out this new award there called the Thomas S.
Monson award. To get this award they had to talk to missionaries and
discuss different topics like duty to god/eagle scout/the book of mormon/for
the strength of youth/etc. So you will never guess what happened to me
and my companion? We got selected to be some of the few missionaries to
go to this encampment and help the scouts get their award!!!!! :) It was
soooo legit to do that. We all had our own stations inside the LDS
visitor center tent and i taught the scouts all about the importance of the
eagle scout/duty to god awards. It was hard standing all day and talking
for 7 hours straight but man was it a ton of fun. I will have to say this
though, i definitely now know that i never want to be a temple visitor center
missionary because my throat hurt sooooo much at the end of the day hahaha.
To answer your super long list of questions; 1)
As a district leader i conduct district meetings, go on exchanges with everyone
in my district (which i have 8 other missionaries in my district so that's a
lot of exchanges haha), do phone calls every thursday to check up on them and
then again on sunday to get their numbers for the week, give them permission to
do things, and make sure all the elders in my district are doing ok. 2)
yes, i am finally getting the hang of conducting district meetings, it was
definitely a little stressful my first few times hahaha.
Well, love you all and hope the best for all of
you :). Peace out till next week :).
With love,
Elder ---chis--->
