Let me tell ya'll...I would love staying in this area for much longer. There is so much work Elder Smith and I have gotten into. We've got a few other people this week that are considering baptism! 3 of which have commited to a date in February :)...an 11 year old, 13 year old, and a new mom. :D We'll see what comes from it.
-I was reminded this week that when you are listening to talks in church...the importance of taking notes on the promptings you have, rather than writing what the person is saying down. That way you are truly getting more out of a talk. For example if I heard a talk about a principle of obedience. I would consider asking myself the question. "In what ways can I become exactly obedient?". With this knowledge I have come to love Gospel Principles more...and when I hear words such as faith, repentance, obedience these words help me better teach principles to myself and how I can better teach others. By far I feel being on my mission has helped me not only teach principles better but to also learn from others better.
:D. Random news
I played basketball barefoot in the gym and loved it. Strange I know.
Tonight I'm going to eat dear burgers!
My ward mission leaders wife is pregnant. He was also called to be a counselor in the Elders Quorum. Which means there is a new ward mission leader on the way.
There is a dear person in the ward that wants to get rebaptized that I'm stoked for! He is a nice guy that just returned from Afghanistan.
I was proud to see that a family I've taught since being in Brandenburg in mid-August came to church this week!
A few people got baptized this past week in the District! Yey! Elder Smith is the District Leader so I got to meet them while we visited them for their baptismal interview.
:) A couple 8 year olds got baptized last week from their older brothers in the ward which I thought was awesome!
mormon.org is great. There is a missionary out here that got on the website and studied the gospel and one day decided he wanted to get baptized...all from reading about the gospel :).
My friend Elder Day that came from the same Stake as me sent me a Christmas card...which reminds me I haven't made a Christmas card. (there were a few ideas out there but Elder Smith and I never got to taking the picture)
1 more month till I hit my year mark!!!
I found out Patterson is getting a Walmart!!! Which will open by the time I return ^_^!
A buddy of mine from Middle School-High School got a Full Ride scholarship to play basketball in Hayward!!! :D Talk about lucky him.
I bought a pair of $100 Lucky Jeans on clearance for $15 dollars! Saved 85%!
This week I plan on getting an eye exam for a contact perscription...and am stoked to get my new contacts...^_^ air optix on sale for $25! Boy do I love being thrifty!
Should find out next week if I was accepted for an exchange of a digital camera that I got as a gift that happened to be defective.
The woman I am sitting next to is covered in smoke...just like every person from Kentucky practically.
