Well I have a lot I want to say, but not too
much time slash my brain is a bit all over the place. But I'll try to
gather my thoughts enough to write a letter that hopefully you all can
understand.
This week was great. On Monday
we said goodbye to President and Sister Winn. We all played laser tag
and went bowling. It was a blast! I am going to miss them so much.
They have taught me so many things that I will always remember. The
biggest thing is the importance of becoming a true disciple of Jesus
Christ. It is a life-long process, but because of them I have learned
how to become better and really, truly learn to represent the Savior. I
have loved having them as our mission mom and dad. I'll miss em. Then
the next couple days were just filled with working hard. We are biking
right now to save miles. Since its the new month we are going to use
the car again. But this week was sooo hot! Like 100 to 105 every day.
It was the wrong week to have to ride bikes. But its all good. We
visited a lot of people and taught some great lessons. I love seeing
the miracles that we see every day as missionaries. They are always
happening, as long as we are working hard, being obedient, and having
the faith to invite.
We had District Leader Training and District meeting. The usual.
We are trying to be more involved in the zone and the people that they
are teaching. We took the time this week to call all the missionaries
in our zone and ask them who they have on date and how those people are
doing and what we can do to help. I sure hope that they know we care
about them. I don't know how much longer I will get to be a zone
leader, but I appreciate the opportunity to try to serve other
missionaries and help them in their work. It has taught me a lot about
how to love everyone no matter what their personality is. Its taught me
some patience. Some missionaries make stupid decisions, and won't
listen or respect us (especially when we are younger in the mission than
they are....) But I have found that there is not much you can do.
Just be patient. Love them. And do your best. so ya.
What else? I think the last thing is that we taught a
combined relief society and priesthood lesson yesterday at church. It
was the 5th Sunday
so the bishop invited us to teach the 3rd hour lesson. We used some
movie clips from the worldwide broadcast "The Work of Salvation". It
was super cool. We taught about member missionary work, and some of the
changes for the members and missionaries in the broadcast. We will
find out tomorrow
in Mission Leader Council what changes will be integrated in out
mission. They told all the zone leaders and sister leader trainers to
pray about and seek revelation for the vision that the Lord has for our
mission especially regarding the new announcements made at the
broadcast. Then tomorrow
morning we will council about it and discuss what will happen in our
mission. As you know we have a new Mission President. President
Hansen. We will meet him for the first time tomorrow. Then we will see him on Thursday for a 4th of July party thing in Bountiful. Then he is coming to meet all the missionaries in our zone on Friday.
Then next week is zone conference. And the week after is interviews.
So we will get to know President and Sister Hansen pretty well over the
next 3 weeks. I believe that the transition will be good. Hopefully
smooth. Wordski.
Alright. I think that is about all! Today isn't even P-day. We get to email, but then it is a usual proselyting day. Thursday will be our P-day ---> 4th of July.
Well,
I love you all so much! I hear a lot has happened this
past week! I hope everyone is doing well and that you are all blessed
with happiness and opportunities to share the gospel with EVERYONE!
God lives and loves us.
Jesus Christ is our Savior.
The church is true. Fo real!
Godspeed.
