This week was interesting. I got pretty sick, so we saw a lot of inside, but when we got out we had awesome experiences!! Monday was when I started feeling not so great, but we had a lesson set up for that night, so I decided to go regardless, and I'm so freaking happy I did. We met with one of our investigators that Elder Hamblin picked up last transfer. He had been out of town, but had been reading the Book of Mormon very diligently! He was in Mosiah! We taught him the first lesson and he was asking super awesome questions, like, does God still care about us, and who is the prophet today? It was so cool. Halfway through the lesson I got the prompting to talk about baptism. I told him at the end of our lesson I'm gonna ask him to be baptized, so I want him to think about that, and why I would ask. Well, it came around to that point in the lesson and I asked if he would be baptized, and he said, when I know it's true I see no reason not to be baptized. So his baptismal date is set for October 25th!! I'm super excited!!
Tuesday was the worst day of being sick, so I didn't do a thing but sleep and rest... Bleh...
Wednesday we ended up getting out to our ward dinner, which was good! French dip sandwiches with a really nice member of the ward.
Thursday we had a dinner with our ward mission leader where we brainstormed tons of ideas to help missionary work in our ward and help the ward build member relations with the missionaries because it's tough with so many of us. We're really excited to see how this helps our work progress.
Friday I had a bit of a relapse so I opted to take some painkillers and sleep it off, ended up sleeping till around 5 or so. Then I got a call from Sister Mays. She's doing well, living at my new house even before I do. Jealous.
Saturday we had interviews. I didn't really know what to expect from that, but President told me he's really proud of me and the way I've handled this transfer. He said I'm tough, and he has a lot more respect for me after this transfer. So, that's cool I guess. Then that night we met with R--. We taught her the word of wisdom. When we told her about coffee she said, "Oh I drink coffee every once in a while." I asked her if she would give up coffee for the Lord and she told me, yes. Then she had me take her coffee from on top of the refrigerator and throw it away right then and there. It was so awesome to see her faith and dedication to what were teaching her. It was so cool.
Then Sunday we had church which was good, and after that we went to Ceasars. Then we went up to the visitors center for Why I Believe! I got to meet all the new ASL trainees and see Elder Tracy and French and Gaudette and Sister Brimhall and Sister Ellsworth. It was so fun. I got to sit by William and Mark cross in the ASL section. During the opening prayer the new sister, Sister Kucharek was getting ready to interpret when the person started speaking Spanish, and she had no idea. So I started interpreting it for Mark. It was pretty crazy, but everyone was really impressed with me afterwards. It was cool.
Then today we're hanging out with Elder Paul, Elder Fisher, Elder Reedy, and Elder Harrison. About to go up and have a grill party! Love you! Have a good week!!!
