Last Monday, my companion and I went to Idaho Falls and
we did a lot of shopping! We went to the mall, target, cabelas, office
max, winco, walmart and the thrift store. It was really busy day and we
both bought matching comp ties and comp socks. We also bought some
matching Christmas ties that we will wear on Christmas day! Ron Fisher
took us out to Freddies and boy was it so good! We went to the Thancker's
house for a FHE lesson and we got one new investigator. After the
Thacker's, we went to the Young's and had another FHE lesson and they
invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday! We are really
excited!
On Tuesday, I was on exchanges with Elder
McTavish and we were in Ririe for the day. We had 20 referrals that he
wanted to contact but we ended up just seeing some less active people
and taught a couple lessons here and there. That night, we went to the
Perry ward and we played beach volleyball with on of our investigators,
Dally and she really had a lot of fun. So as we were about to exchange
back, we got a call from elder welling and told us that someone in Ririe
was literally possessed by the devil, no joke. So us 4 missionaries
went to the house and gave her a priesthood blessing a blessed the
house. It was a crazy experience that I'll never forget, haha.
Wednesday we had our district meeting down in swan valley. It was
super fun because elder franks was not there. All of the missionaries in
our district could tell that I was having a better time with my new
companion. Elder Schaerr and I were on splits in Swan valley. We went to
lunch and played pool, haha. We visited a couple of people and that
night, we taught 2 lessons with another investigator we had. It was a
good day!
Thursday, my companion had to go to Idaho falls
because of a meeting we had. So I was on exchanges again with Elder Anderson. He's a little bit on the awkward side but we got a lot of
stuff done. It ended up snowing like 4 inches that day so we did a lot
of shoveling for people and was my first snow storm! We had a lesson
with yet another investigator name Ale. The lesson went really good and
we have another lesson with her this coming Saturday. Later that night,
guess what? We taught another investigator named jack! HE is super cool
and at the end of the lesson, I set a date with him for December 12 at
2pm! One of the youth in the 2nd ward went with us, Eric Peterson and he
is probably the funnest kid I've ever met!
On Friday, we
helped out at the senior center. My companion and I made lunch the house and it was super good. We played basketball with Tristan Cole's was a
lot of fun. He is planning to turn in his papers in the early spring.
For dinner, we had dinner in a pumpkin and was strange but good. It had
rice, beef, carrots and peppers in it. Later that night, we helped put
up drywall at someones house.
Saturday we cleaned the
house and threw a lot of Elder Franks stuff that he left behind away. We
contacted 3 referrals and also received 2. We had dinner at the
Gunderson's and she is like our missionary mom here in Ririe and she'll
get whatever we need and she loves the missionaries! Later that night,
wee helped out a non members house put in a bathroom floor. She
literally made us watch the college football game that was on their t.v.
because she doesn't really know the rules of us missionaries.
Sunday was a sunny beautiful Sabbath day. We went to the 3rd Ward for
the first time I've been here. We also went to the Perry ward an a
elder who just got home gave in homecoming talk! His dad told me he has
sister who lives in Naperville! So if anyone of you who knows a 'Marlis
Moon" who lives in the Naperville area, please let me know! We had
another lesson later that night with jack again and he is progression
really well!
Well, this week was really busy
for my companion and I and i hope it stays this busy! Thank you for
all the support you not only give me but also my brother in Brazilian
also my family. May you all have a great thanksgiving and hope that you
get some good deals on black Friday! God is good! I love you all and
until next time!
