I HATE YOU I WANT DOWNTON SO BAD. Jk I only love you. And geez, I saw "doctor" and can only think of The Doctor. and then Sherlock........and Sammy and Dean. oh man I'm stugglin. Ok, it isn't that bad. It's not like I have time, but if I do I get to watch other awesome stuff like Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration, or Finding faith in Christ and the testaments and junk. ANYWAY...this was indeed a good and calm week!
We Day-trained a brand new missionary, so we were the first experience of Mesa for her and she was the best, we brought her to her transfer meeting where we found out WE GET TO GO THE THE GILBERT OPEN HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!! Squeeee! We've been waiting to find out for a month or something and that feels like a year! So we finally get to tell people "yes! Even though it's out of our mission, we're allowed to go!" AND GUESS WHO WILL GET TO HOST THE DANG EVENT! That's right!!!! THE SISTERS!! dghawe;ogihadr;gjkn! Right then it hit me really hard how great my mission really is. We're so spoiled in Mesa. Not in temporal stuff only, but in trust to do all sorts of amazing things no one else can experience. Not only am I getting to be involved with changing people's lives by giving them the Gospel and providing the feeling of the Spirit, but we get to make the internet usable for the Lord's purposes like it was meant to be, not for all the rubbish Satan turned it into! We get to spend time at the Temple Christmas lights, and be involved with a huge open house and bring people there where they can learn about temples with us, and Elder Holland is coming to speak to us, and then I get to see and probably host the Easter Pageant really soon.
And we get parties too! We had a New Year's party that lasted all day and it's just fun to be with 225 missionaries. Just standing around and you realize you're in a crowd of temple endowed saints focused on God's work. And you have a really cool mission president who will climb into a sheet and let a zone of missionaries toss him into the freakin air! That was meant for a volley-ball, I don't know how they got this person in there. But IT WAS CRAZY! I totally didn't see it coming....he's cool. And so is his wife. But not in the same way. She isn't to be tossed to and fro....she's delecate and sweet. We all adore this woman! But the party had a bunch of other games and whatnot, like Do you love your neighbor and human foozball, and we performed skits as zones. They were brand new zones too because transfers were the same day, but my group-Sol Canyon- had the story of .......Shadrack, Meeshak, and Abednigo......or whatever their names are. I was an angel that set them forth out of those fire furnace flames. Ummmm and there was a mini talent show ( OH SPEAKING Of which, I really want to set up a talent show of something for our stake here...we need retention and activation activities! ....and do a BoM Marathon with the youth! Youth are my favorite always) and we had like 4 versions of the Hakka. Then this hick Elder from Mississippi came up for story time.It was probably the most hilarious thing I've heard....I can't tell it right. But.....I laughed.
But yeah....I realized it's not that I have to BE a missionary cause God asked me to, He asked me to because He wanted to bless me and I GET to be a missionary. We are seeing an investigator for the second time tonight.... We are bringing a member with us and have set up stuff with other members to come out with us a lot...because it's the Lord's way! So this way we can get more fishes than our boat can handle! .....the end. I love you!!!!
hahahah FINGERS DON'T FIN
