member visiting on a business trip because he works for Boeing. So he
called us and asked if he could take us to dinner so we were thinking he
Wa going to take us to dominos or burger king or something like that and oh we're we wrong he
took us to this really nice Italian restraunt called mafia which was
super delicious. And then we just played some basketball and shot some hoops
for pday:) got my free throw percentage back up to 90%!
Tuesday:well today we went to the hospital to visit one of the members
but turns out he wasn't in the room so we walked in, on an
older gentle men who yelled at us to get out so that was fun. Then
later we had a lesson with Maria to just go over all the baptismal
questions so that was great she seems very prepared for her baptismal
interview! So we are real excited about that. Then the rest of the
day was out in the street contacting since our two other lessons
didn't show up. But hey we got to talk to some people and testify
about the church doesn't get much better.
Wednesday: well today we started off with weekly planning which went
pretty well. Then we went to go and do some pass bys but no one seemed
to be home today. Then later we had our first English class on
Wednesdays which was great. Then back to the streets for more
contacting!
Thursday: today was intercambios with the zone leaders which was good
I was with elder priest who is from Southern California. So they
didn't have to much planned, so we mainly just contacted but that was fun just
joking around and testifying and sharing the gospel message with those
that would stop and listen to us in the street. The I went to their
correlation with them which was cool to see how much there branch
mission leader is concerned about the branch and the investigators.
Then it was back to contacting and then over to the piso with 8 other
missionaries. So that made for an interesting night haha!
Friday: today we had our zone conference in Leon which was great we
focused on the purpose of the Book of Mormon this time and how we
should try to place the Book of Mormon in people's hands more. With
all the stuff we have learned about from the conference we have put it
to good use being able to give out three book of Mormons which was
super cool and we will be giving another one out this Wednesday to a
future investigator so that will be really cool. Then it was off to
English class where we sang some one direction some taylorswift and
hark the Harold angels sing and then translated them to Spanish so
that was a lot of fun.and then we had correlation to go over what we
were able to accomplish in a he week with Julio or branch mission
leader.
Saturday: well sadly today was shingys last time playing ball with us
until he goes back up to Zimbabwe and then down to South Africa to
study so that will be good for him. Basketball was great lots of
blocking shots and forcing turnovers. Then basketly the rest of the
day was just going around and passing by people we can teach. The
first stop was Jose morales but they were super busy having a family
reunion but they did introduce us to the whole fam so that was super
awesome! Then we managed to give out two Books of Mormon but no
references but that's okay.
Sunday: well we will just say that church was a very uplifting
spiritual experience. Today the speakers were Elena one of the YSA who
gave her talk about virtue which went super well. Then the next
speaker talked on the gift of speaking with the tongues of angels and
the great opportunity we will have to here the profit and the apostles
in this coming general conference for all of you whether member of
this faith or of another I encourage you to take some time and watch
these great bare there testimonies about god it can truly change your
life. It has changed mine.
Thank you all so much for all your love and support and hope all is
going well with every one. Love you all.
Love, Elder Strong
