The last two weeks have been so busy doing administrational stuff. We found a new house for us and two new elders that will be transferring into the zone. We had to take care of the contract and payment set up method.. Just stuff like that. We also had splits! We didn't have many lessons this week or last week for the matter. We had four baptisms this month and are excited about them.
So i guess my highlight of this week would be on Saturday We went to the Orca families house. They are a less active family that are one of our focus families. The ward right now has a goal to go to the temple this October We are doing all we can to prepare them for this trip. So we taught them about what the temple was and what the purpose and cool things about the temple. We really emphasized the importance or "need" to do the temple ordinances to be saved into the highest kingdom. They really listened and i feel like they took it well and were excited to keep preparing. The cool part is that the next day, Sunday, they were one of the first people at the church. Even before us actually. It really showed me that they were willing to take what we taught them seriously.
The ward is continuing to progress and show me that they are capable of being awesome. The leaders here are so great. Self motivated, serious about their callings and overall converted to the gospel.
We also had a CSP last week. It was really fun. We dug the foundation for a member to build their house. It was a lot of fun digging and working on construction stuff. Maybe i will look into it when i get home.
Well in the next couple weeks i wanna start getting all the stuff like souvenirs and gifts and stuff like that so if you would like to donate to the Elder Smith fund it would be nice :)
Well i think thats about it for this week.
Well i love you lots
Elder Smith
I'm reading your blog - from newest to oldest. Isn't it amazing that experiences on your mission give you ideas of what to focus on in school when you return home? And it took nearly your entire mission to discover that (unless you talk of it earlier on)
