Oh, it was fun to watch them squirm

District Meeting building companionship unity

Well hello hello everyone! I think that I had a pretty fun week this week.

 So, Tuesday was pretty cool. We got to teach her the Plan of Salvation to Gloria and she thought that it was pretty cool. She found that or view of the Three Kingdoms of Heaven was interesting, but she really liked it. After that there was a little bit of wandering about, and then we went to the Bishops Storehouse with YSA to help out a bit. That was pretty fun, though it sounds like they need more help in the evening on Tuesdays. We are going to try and get there this week during that time. But, what we did there was organize a few things, and then we filled a humanitarian order. I can't remember where that one was going.

 Wednesday, I messed with my District a little bit. It was a little evil what I made them do, but I bet they just don't want to admit that it helped them out. So, I was talking about Companionship Unity for the bulk of the meeting. I had an activity to help them out with that. I pulled out a bottle of lotion, and I told them that they had to rub each other's hands with lotion, and talk about strengths that their companion has, or just good things about them. Oh, it was fun to watch them squirm a bit, but they all did it. It actually helped Elder Brimhall and I out, so I liked it (You may recognize this from somewhere. Elder Faimalo had us do this same activity back when he was District Leader. That is where I got the idea.) After that, we went with the Zone Leaders and YSA to Feed My Starving Children. That was just as fun as the always is. The reason that the Zone Leaders came with us though was because we were going on Exchanges. I worked with Elder Miner that day. We went and walked around some neighborhoods together, but not much came out of that. Oh well. We did go and teach Jeff again that evening. We have half a lesson to go, and then he has to get interviewed for baptism. It is super exciting!

 Thursday was a pretty easy going day. Just a lot of looking around. The thing that took up a lot of time though was going through and doing Weekly Planning. I think that the last week of this transfer though is going to be a good one. We really just want to get something done, it just happens pretty slowly for this area.

 Friday we had a MCM for the first time in a long time, and that was pretty fun. Brother Dart is a pretty cool guy, he is just pretty busy with his job. After that, just popping around, and then a lesson with Danielle again.

 I am not too sure what to say about Saturday. I honestly don't really remember what I did, which is probably not good. I looked my journal, but that didn't really help because it basically said the same thing. Oops.

 Sunday was cool though. Basically all of our Church meetings were talking about service, which I thought was pretty cool. Service is just such a fun thing to do as a missionary, and really, it can be fun for anyone to do. I also took some time that day to put together part of my District Meeting, just so some of it can be organized. And that evening we just wandered about.

 Well, that is about it for me! Hey, just in case you haven't heard, General Conference is this coming Saturday and Sunday. It is a super cool opportunity to get some pretty good life guidance. During this worldwide broadcasted event, leaders in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints speak about stuff that can really help us out in our day and age. There are 4 sessions total, 2 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. On both days, they will be at 11am and then 3pm (so, for the west coast, that is 9am and 1pm, and the east coast that is 1PM and 5PM. I am pretty sure at least.) I invite all who are reading this now though to give it a watch! You can stream it online at lds.org, or you can go to your local church building and watch it there(that is what I am doing, and I know it would be nice to have some company there to watch it with me.) Well, I shall let y'all get back to your wonderful days! Keep it real y'all, and remember, your Heavenly Father knows you, and He loves you!

Elder Brimhall and I getting ready for Gospel Principles 

Our shopping cart. I dunno, just because. We didn't have to buy much this week, which is good because transfers are coming up, and we don't want to invest in a lot of food for here if we aren't going to be here to eat it. 

I got a haircut, and I whacked off a ton of hair. My head feels so light.
