Beginning with more drama from our neighborhood couple
Simon and Lise Lotte. But we figured it all out and had a good lesson
and a good dinner with them. We talked about how we need to endure to
the end in all things. But especially that we need to have hope in all
things. After that, we tried to stop by one of our investigators named
Fred. He had a baptismal date, but I have never met him, so we haven't
had contact with him in the past 5 or 6 weeks. :/ Oh well, we will get
in touch with him.
We also got to help my good friend Victor move some
things on tuesday. Gosh I love that kid. Just a funny french kid who
likes to nerd out. So we get a long, and we have about the same sense of
humor. This was also the day that we planned out our zone training. It
was all about commitments. Having faith in commitments, and having faith
that the people will do them.
Wednesday was more moving things for Maria this
time. (Maria and Victor live in the same house... just like a big
apartment place) So that was fun. Then we had a good lesson with Leo. We
found out that he is way Christian. Which was interesting. Because this
is the same guy that says that God is an idea. So we had a way good
chat about why Christ was here on earth, and what it means for us. We
also talked about our purpose, and our relationship with God. It was a
way good chat. We finished off the day by watching a movie with Ashley.
(the english investigator that wrote the song I sent home). That was a
blast. We watched 17 miracles, and Ashley had some way funny comments
throughout the film. It was like MST3K. After the movie we set up the
church for zone training...
and zone training happened. It went way well. Even
though the Sisters who were giving a little thought went waaaaay over
their time. We were still able to cram our message in. We focused a lot
on how we need to be the example, but as the example we needed to have
faith in them around us. We also talked a lot about following up, and
how we need to remind the investigators and we need to remind eachother.
It was fun to see the zone, and I don't know why, but the zone training
just drained all the energy from my body. We finished off the day by
eating some dinner with Victor and Maria. We showed Victor and his
friends a mormon message (http://www.mormonchannel.org/
We had another good lesson with Ashley, talking
about why we have the scriptures, and what they do for us. It's an
important thing to get that spiritual light every day.
We
also met a new younger couple and we talked for a while with them, just
about life and stuff. We also got to talk about the church for a little
bit. It was crazy, these two were so smart. They both studied
economics. But the guy went to Harvard for a year, and he pretty much
just said that as a passing statement. So I learned a lot from those
two.
Sunday was good. I enjoy church. We had yet another
lesson with Ashley. But this time we mixed it up and just watched a talk
from Elder Holland. We also had a good lesson that night with Ana, the
girl that got baptized 2 months ago. She is still doing way well.
Although that lesson was one where the member who was there tried to
take over and say everything that even crosses his mind... it's kind of
irritating. But oh well. :D
That was my week. I hope that you all have a great week, and keep smiling!
