Welcome
back to the greatest BLOG/E-Mail of ALL TIME... at least for missionary
standards.... ha ha ha. This week was a rocky one at first, but all first weeks
of transfers are rocky. lol!!! Lets see... hmmmm what were all the other emails
missing that I should put on here?
Could it be my Mom's favorite part of the emails!!!! MISSIONARY
WEEKLY!!!!! Yes, “Missionary Weekly” is returning to the most popular
Missionary channel of all time. Lets check it out, shall we?
Missionary Weekly!!!
Welcome
to “Missionary Weekly” where we check the future Cougars on Campus... I mean
the Laborers in the vineyard. Today, we see that Elder Miller is leaving to go
to Nevada City. How is Elder
Morris going to do without him? Then we see how his new companion helps him
keep his cool under pressure. Last but not least Victoria Hunt, what will
become of her and baptism? All this and more on the “Missionary weekly”!!!!
01/15/13 – Miller is gone, YEAH??!! Wait, what do I do now? Well, as you
all know, we had transfers. My new
companion is from Riverton, Utah.
He played football and baseball in High School, but we all know that
West Jordan is better than Riverton. lol
It was a good first day.
01/16/13 – Today we spent doing introductions to
members, investigators and others as well. We did have a lesson with Victoria
this day and we talked on the law of chastity, because she is not yet married,
but lives with her boyfriend. He
is a member of the church, so we decided to lay down the "Law" on
what they have to do. Of course,
they were planning on getting married, but not for a while (like in
November). Yeah, I'm going be home
by then, so we are going to work with her and see what we can do to get her
closer to baptism.
01/17/13 – Today was the first district meeting
for this transfer. At least I'm not the District Leader! WHOO HOO!!!
I’m sure I become district leader soon enough though. Don't worry MOM!!!
01/18/13 – We did weekly planning for the first time
I've been here in Paradise!! Sad huh?
We did get it done!!!!! So success!!!!
01/19/13 - Service with Papa T (Titus)
today. We were helping with
putting Christmas stuff away and putting up Shelves in his garage. We did some tracting as well. Of course there
is opposition in all things!!! We had a person tell us, "You are
saved by Grace... GOD AND JESUS ARE THE SAME PERSON!!!!" Those might be good journal entries,
right? We did gain a new
investigator from that conversation that seems promising. Wish us luck.
01/20/13 – Sunday,
was pretty good. We were asked to
show up at one of the youth classes.
The teacher wanted us to discuss how to talk about God/Heavenly Father
with others. That was fun. We got
them to try a practice teach session with each other. They seemed to really enjoy it.
That's all for “Missionary Weekly” and now for
the oldest game show known to missionaries, Q & A CORNER!!!!!!!!
Q1.
How was your Sabbath day? Did you have any opportunities to teach?
What was the message you heard and needed to hear at Church?
A1. It was pretty good.
In Elders Quorum we talked about Baptism and the Holy Ghost from the
Lorenzo Snow manual. For more
Information please read “Missionary weekly”. Well, I guess we were in Mosiah 1, talking about the desires
of our hearts towards baptism and that was the message I needed to hear.
Q2. How are your investigators? Especially how is
Victoria doing? Have you set a date for her Baptism? I know she
needs to have all the lessons first. Are you listening to the spirit as
you bring her along in the gospel? What did you learn from her this week?
How is Elder Himmer doing with the lessons?
A2. The
investigators are doing fine. For
information about Victoria see “Missionary Weekly”. Yeah, I'm doing my best to listen and follow the
spirit. Elder Himmer is doing well
with lessons and all aspects of his mission.
Q3. How are you doing with the driving? Are you
getting more confident with that responsibility? How are you both doing
health wise? Have you done something to serve your companion this past
week? What would you both enjoy getting in the mail? Tell us more
about Elder Himmer. Where is he from? How long has he been in the
field? What things/ hobbies does he like or do? What does he like
to do on P-day? Does he get support from home?
A3. My
driving is a little better and our car has more kick than a Corolla. Yeah, I’m
feeling more comfortable; I’m getting there. Yeah, I made I made Elder Himmer
lunch a few times this past week as service to him. We love to get money in the mail. jk Anything really is good
in the mail. Elder Himmer, is a
really hard worker. He is from
Riverton, Utah and he's been in the field six months. He likes football,
baseball and basketball. OK,
I feel like I'm being interrogated or something with all these questions.
Jk Let skip to the next one.
Q4. How is the weather? We have been cold, cold,
cold, but it is getting warmer. The high was 19 today. lol We
should be in the 20s tomorrow. I’m jealous of your 50s and 60s. Enjoy that warm
weather while you can.
A4. It is nice hear. It’s warm and cool rather than cold and
cold.
Q5. Bishop wants Dad or I to talk on Feb 10th about how
you are doing? What would you like to share with the ward? Did you
want us to tell them anything special? Did you send Grandma T a Birthday
card? That was this past Saturday. We didn't go but put a
letter in a scrapbook the ward made for her. I forgot to ask if you ever
got a letter from the Stake Presidency at Christmas? Just curious cause
they asked me for your address.
A5. How about TALOFA!!!! lol Well I guess, share the scripture “Be Thou an Example of the
Believers”, you never know who is watching. Always be that disciple of Christ, and don't worry
about people judging you, because if worry then you are judging them
first. Always try to start a
conversation with someone about what we believe and always invite investigators
and Missionaries to dinner. Most importantly keep giving the missionaries
referrals. I know that's what helps us the most are those member referrals. Oh,
and don't give up on people, you are always planting seeds in their hearts and
they'll want to learn more at some point.
Also Happy Birthday Grandma T!!!! I don’t
recall getting a letter or card from the Stake Presidency. Please let them know I am doing well.
Q6. Well, here is the usual question. What was the
best part of this past week? What was the sad part of this past week?
What made you laugh this past week? What was your favorite moment
of this past week? How many lessons did you teach? What made you
nervous this past week?
A6. The best part was getting back to working hard. The sad part was the number of
miles we used. Everything makes me
laugh. My favorite moment was being able to pick up new investigators!!!!!
Let's see, we taught only 9 lessons, but first weeks are always the toughest.
Me being a Senior Companion did make me a little nervous this past week. lol
Well,
I guess that is all for now. Oh,
Martin Congrats on getting the statistics grade up to a B- bro. Way to work hard!!!! Well, you know the
tune!!!!
