So this past week I went on exchanges with one of our Zone Leader,
Elder Mann and he is form Milwaukee, WI. Our day was so busy. It started
off by waking up to go work our at the Rigby high school; but it was
closed. Then we literally spent the day contacting all the ward council
members from 7 wards. We got a lot of referrals and we also gave a guy
that was sick a priesthood blessing, so that was nice.
On Tuesday, we re-arranged our whole house and moved our beds into the
bedroom and we now have a super big living room. It's now a lot better
and it actually looks like a normal house now. That night we taught
Wayne Johnson the Plan of Salvation and it was probably the most
spiritual lessons I've head yet. When we told him that he would see his
parents again, he started crying and then everyone else started crying
and the spirit was felt so strong that night.
On Wednesday we had our last district meeting as a Star Valley
District. This next transfer, President is going to split the Thayne, WY
area so they can gave two sets of elders up there since the area is so
big. So that means that if I am still here next transfer, we will now be
in the Rigby district which is 10x better because of less traveling we
have to do. Later that night, we taught Allie a couple of the major
commandments. We just got good news yesterday that her boyfriend engaged
to her at Lakers vs. Jazz game! We could not be more excited for them.
Thursday around lunch time, we went to the high school and we taught
the 7th and 8th grade gym class how to play rugby. It was so fun and the
kids really liked it and and every time they see us, they beg us to
play it again. We had a lesson with Jay and Josh later that night and we
also taught them the Plan of Salvation. They both asked really good
questions and everyone was super involved in the lesson.
Saturday we really didn't so much of anything because that when is
snowed all day and we got tons of snow. We went over to Jay's house and
we helped them with their house and then taught them the first half of
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We then just went home until dinner because
the roads were really bad and it was super windy. We had dinner with our
Stake President, Boyd Foster. He lives in a really nice big house in
the middle of the mountains. When we got home, we went to the Browns
house and we payed Ticket to Ride. Unfortunately me and Houston lost
the game and only got a score of 31 points, which is really really bad.
We are going over there again later this week and we will hopefully get a
better score this time, haha.
Sunday we went to a couple wards and then dinner was the best. We had
spaghetti tacos and they were so good! They family they we had dinner
at, are so cool and have a son serving in the Milwaukee, WI mission. He
is serving now in Neenah, WI, so if any of the Sanofsky's run into an
Elder Jones, tell him that I know him! We had a lesson with Tallon and
taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ and he remembered everything and
he's only 10 yrs. old. He is progressing well but are still trying to
get him to church. That night we went over to Bishop Peterson of the 2nd
ward and his wife made all of of white shirts super white again! She
works in the temple for the laundry and knows all of the secret tips and
trick of making them white. She is so funny and told me that she can be
my second mother.
Well
that's about all for this week. We are going to Rexburg today to go
bowling with a young family on one of our wards. And then for dinner, we
are going to the Cole's and she is making us a super good dinner. I ask
that you please keep me in your prayers that I will at least stay in
Ririe for one more area. I feel that I'm need here for one for
transfer! thank you so much for all you do! May the Lord bless you in
all you do! Have a good week! God is Good!
