As you can tell from my title, it's my first
week successfully training (hopefully). It's been a great week. Not as
scary and hectic as i thought it was going to be. That's for sure!
It's been a great week though. A lot easier than i thought it was
going to be. That just means something hard is going to happen... so
pray for me!
Monday: We hung out at the Zebraski's, and had
dinner with them. We had sister Holmstead's mom's chicken noodle soup,
and these wheat pancakes from elder Johnson's. Surprisingly it all went
together really well! We had soy sauce with pancakes, and you know how
much i like soy sauce! So naturally, they were divine.
Tuesday: Transfer day! We drove to Greentree. That
is where the president goes to church. There are two tiny tunnels you
have to go through, so we were stuck in stop and go traffic. We ended
up being 30 minutes late... However, we beat the sisters, so we counted
that as on time (they always beat us everywhere). President ended up
being late too, so we didn't miss anything. I got my new companion.
Elder Bowers. He's from Kaysville Utah, and he is a great missionary!
He has so much fire to be out her. It almost blew me away. I love training. I enjoy having leadership positions. They really help me, because they motivate
me and "force" me to do better. Ever since i have been a trainer I've
had a lot more energy, and I've been way more positive. It's a great
calling!
Wednesday: Our Wednesday's are always pretty set.
Nothing to plan usually. We always see A and K, and then
have dinner with the Memmott's, coordination meeting, then BoM class.
It never cancels. That's what i was telling Elder Bowers the night
before as we planned for Monday. I said heck would have to freeze over
before these cancelled. Well, it turns out the weather we've been
having here made it down there! EVERYTHING CANCELLED. I was so sad...
but whatever. The Lord really needed us to see other people. So we got
to work! We went and tried a lot of people. It turned out to be a
pretty good day though! Members haven't been feeding us as they
used to, so I've been scheduling with them to feed us! The day go a
million times better if we have a dinner appointment.
Thursday: We had our day planned, and went and saw
sister H, sister M, and then we also saw H. that night.
Nothing exciting really happened.
Friday:
Elder Bowers got really sick, so we were inside all day until about 6pm.
Then we had a dinner appointment with a member at 6. So we did that,
and got home around 7:30-8. We went and tried to see Y. after. He
was there, but told us to come back Saturday afternoon.
Saturday: Since Elder Bowers was sick on Friday, it
pushed out weekly planning to this day. Plus our 3 hours of studies.
So we did a lot of studying this day! We ended up seeing H and
eating at the Prince's for dinner. It was really fun! They're a great
family. We had Navajo taco's and i loved them!
Sunday: It snowed all day, and church was cancelled.
However, they didn't' tell us until we got there. So, we went to the
Z's and did our studies. Then we watched the D+C videos with them, and
had dinner. After dinner the roads cleared up enough that we were able
to drive home. Our neighborhood was really bad though, so we weren't
able to drive anywhere. Even with all of the craziness of the week, we
still managed to teach 10 lesson's! This week went by so fast! Have a
great week. love ya
