I
don't know what happened but our numbers this week were probably the
lowest I've had in my whole mission. Not that numbers mean that much :)
We had a lot of service opportunities. We went to the National
Railroad Museum several times to help out with the Christmas special. It
was sold out back in like June because it's that awesome. The Polar
Express!!! It's sooo much fun. So we did that a few times this week, and
we talked to Carla, who is about to start meeting with the Spanish
missionaries, and apparently Keri wants to start meeting with us. She is
in charge of volunteers there. Like half the ward volunteers there, and
like 4 sets of missionaries, so it was kinda hard for them to not ask
questions :)
WE HEARD FROM RICHARD!!! He's the most golden investigator
ever that I used to teach like three months ago but then he disappeared.
We texted him--mostly for kicks--and he responded!! Yup...he's in jail.
Until July. But whatevs. He's totally getting baptized when he gets
out. He's awesome.
I went to Wausau on exchanges and had dinner at some Hmong
peoples house. It was DELICIOUS. So much cilantro. In everything. In the
rice. and the beef. and the spices. It was awesome :) Pretty spicy
though, but I don't mind spicy :)
Plus we taught Jimmy on the exchange, who's just a crack-up.
He needs some missionaries who will be able to joke and tease with him
but also be super blunt and have high expectations. He's just a little
crazy. But he already thinks he's Mormon, so that's a good start...? He
just has to start keeping the commandments and stuff, no biggie...
Angie bought these awesome BoM study-help books by David
Ridges or something, they are SO COOL. They were also like eighty bucks,
but man! I want them. She's just doing so incredibly awesome. Who
would've thought? Love her.
Mission Leadership Council was on Friday, it was a serious
tender mercy that I got to go to one more before i leave leadership :):)
I might have gotten food poisoning and was throwing up the whole time,
but it was so much spiritual awesomeness ANYWAY!!! We had the director
of training at the Provo MTC, and also the director of all international
MTCs there and they did some awesome awesome roleplays and taught some
awesome awesome stuff and it was just the best meeting ever :)
Plus, we are SOOOOO close to reaching our goal for baptisms this
year!!! I will be so bummed if we don't reach it. We need like 8
baptisms a week for these last three weeks which is seriously stretching
it, but possible. I've never seen something so close. I'm super nervous
we won't make it, but I know we can!!! Quentin will add to that :)
BBAAAHHHH
We survived teaching Chad the WoW and chastity. He likes
coffee and lives with a girl that he doesn't really like at all, so
they're just little problems that can be resolved. But hopefully they
happen so he can be baptized on his date. He's a great guy but it's
really hard to read him! He seems just happy with everything we have to
share, but I don't know sometimes!! Following the Spirit I guess :)
