This week was another good week!
The highlights were again probably meeting with Grace. So one of the MTC
teachers (not mine) while I was there came and visited his brother who is in
the English Branch. I recognized him and
pointed him out to my companion. I also recognized his wife but couldn't figure
out how. It turns out his older brother, not the one in our branch, was my
companion’s MTC teacher, so that was cool. So we talked with him and his wife.
She served a mission in Tahiti speaking French. We wanted to do some missionary
activity with her husband, and she kind of jokingly said, well if you are
teaching anybody in French let me know. So I was like “Well, actually tonight
we have a lesson in French.” So we invited them, and they came! After thinking
for a little bit I connected where I knew her from. She was in my French and
Italian cinema class at BYU! So we went to the Decosta's house, and they
invited a friend for dinner who ended up staying and so we kind of separated
into two groups, I was with the friend and the Decosta's answering her
questions about our church, and my companion went with the other two for a French
lesson and they taught tithing and fast offerings. Grace said she is already
fasting and praying a lot about her baptism so that is awesome! Because the
base is doing a drill thing, we couldn't meet with Zach this week. Lee Byoung
Gap dropped us because he maybe kind of offended his friend who is a preacher
at another church. So that was sad.
[Answers to Dia’s
questions:] Well, I look out the window
and there are other apartment buildings... haha. No I mostly just quickly get
ready and try to force myself to work out. Not like happy or sad just kind of
am. My favorite part of the mornings are just the studies. It is a good solid
time to learn and have silence and feel good and stuff. I am not a huge
breakfast guy, so I eat some cereal, or bread. But often I don't eat anything. Well
my companion is my district leader, so we get along alright... haha. But I like
our zone leaders! I do eat peanut butter relatively regularly, but I have lived
near a bunch of Americans! :) Yeah I had a little bear shower head! There’s nothing
super awesome that I want to take home. Just some of their fashion maybe?
We had zone training this week
which was awesome, and I passed off my last lesson in TIP so now all I have to
do is pass them off with the AP's! Yay, almost done!
My spiritual thoughts this week
have been focused on the first chapter of PMG, which is my purpose as a
missionary. I guess no major insights, just the fact that this is what God
wants me do do! That as I strive to do what he wants me to do, he will work
through me! And that is comforting.
Hurrah for Israel,
