Hello
Family and Friends, 7/29/13
...
For the last round of “Missionary Weekly.”... at least for this season.
lol Just wait till the next
season. He he he... Well I guess I better just finish this up so we can have
some fun with the Q&A....
Missionary Weekly!!!
Welcome
to “Missionary Weekly” where my mission is now coming to a close and a new
journey opens up!!!!
So
this week was full of Craziness, Exchanges Left and Right, as well as our Open
House. Elder Henke and I planned
out an Open House that did not go very well... It was upsetting. On the 24th of July, Elder Henke and I had organized an
Open House at our Church and no one showed up... except the Ward Council. Nobody else showed up, not even a less
active... it was a sad day. Later
that night we had exchanges with the 1st Ward Elders. That day went pretty
well. We had a Baptismal interview for a person in 1st Ward and she is getting
baptized. Then later in the week we had exchanges with the Zone Leaders. Lots of stuff was happening that day,
bike tire went flat and just sooooooo hooooooooott, but it was still a good
day. Now for this week, we have
exchanges with Mount Shasta. And I have to conduct another interview with one
of their investigators. Yeah trip
to Mount Shasta!!!!
That’s
all for the last “Missionary Weekly” and for this e-mail. Now for Q & A
CORNER!!!!!
Q1.
How was your Sabbath? How was your week? How many lessons
and did you commit any Baptisms? What are the plans for the two baptisms
you already had scheduled? How are Tyler and Dustin? I hope that
was their names, I forget Dustin or Justin each time I pray, but I am sure the
Lord knows who I am talking about. lol
A1. This Sabbath Day was pretty good....
This week was okay.... 13 lessons taught this week...not really any Baptism
committals, but were really close on one.... Well, we rescheduled the baptisms.
Matthew, we rescheduled him for August 31st....
Tyler and Dustin are doing okay. The family is going through a situation right
now...
Q2.
Did you already have your exit interview with Pres Weston? We got
a letter from him saying what a fine job you have done and confirming your
release date. What are your feelings and thoughts about Pres Weston?
Do you have any specific moments with him or something he said that would
stay with you as you come back into regular life now? How is your
district doing? Will you miss them and will they miss you?
A2.
My Departing Interview was a few weeks a go. I like President Weston,
he's really cool. A specific time
I remember was the time last year in Roseville. We had Dinner with him and his
family. The district is doing well. Oh, yeah I will miss them all.
Q3.
How are the preparations to come home? Do you know what to do
about shipping your bike home? Are you needing funds in you debit account
to help you with all the shipping costs and travel costs? Have you
started packing yet? Don't forget anything important or make sure that
your home address is left at the apartment for those who come behind you so
they can send anything you leave behind. lol I hope you have tons of
pictures...your website and scrapbook are very behind in that area. lol
A3.
Eh, a lot of stuff is hard to fit in my baggage... Yeah, I’m shipping my bike
home; the Mission Office has a good deal on it. No, I think I will be fine with
what I have for funds to get home... Yes, I have packed. Don't worry I will get
everything.
Q4.
What did you do last p-day? What are you planning for this p-day?
Have you been able to see any sites or at least those you were interested
in these past few weeks? Have you made the rounds to say good-bye to
members and missionaries? Who will you miss most in the Shasta Lake ward
or area? Has anyone approached you about you departure? Has your departure
made anyone move a little faster in the conversion process? Are you
feeling the love both from home and in the mission field? Believe me
there is tons of love being sent your way from here. We love you tons and
are excited to hug you tight!
A4. Last p-day we hiked Whisky town
Falls... it was awesome. This
p-day I need to get a bike box. Yeah, I have seen a lot of great places.
There’s a lot to see out here. Mom, I'm not done yet so no good-byes yet. Here
in Shasta Lake I will miss Elder Henke and Michael? Nobody really has said anything about my departure. We are
getting any fast movement on baptisms, just stumbling blocks. Yeah, I am
feeling the love.
Q5.
What was the best thing about this past week? What made you smile
the most? What was your biggest challenge or trial this past week?
What brought the spirit to you the most? Did you have a spiritual
moment that brought you to tears? Who were you most proud of this past
week? What did Elder Henke do this past week that impressed you or
surprised you? How did you serve each other this past week? Well, I
guess I better end this Q because I could easily just continue till the cows
come home...ha ha ha.
A5.
Best thing about the week was exchanges.... Smiles most about exchanges....
Biggest challenge was the Open House...>fail<. Exchanges brought the
spirit to our week... No tears this week. I was proud of all the Missionaries
in the District.... Nothing to specific in regards to Elder Henke this past
week. We serve each other because we always have a good time together.
Q6.
Last question for this Mission... Do you have any regrets?
Do you have a proud accomplishment or triumph from you mission?
What do you word or phrase do you think would sum up your Mission?
How are you feeling right this very moment? Now, is your chance to
say anything you would like.... you can even write a journal entry to save for
you and your posterity right here!
A6.
Honestly not really any regrets, I love my Mission.... There are parts where I
could do better, but it’s been awesome. Not really a good sum it up phrase
maybe just “Serving” that’s what I love. I’m feeling like it was all “Worth
it”! Also feeling trunky. jk lol
Just wishing it could never end. blarg..
Well that's it for now. This Mission has been a
blast. I wish it would never end. I Love serving other people. J Thank you for being apart of this journey with me and thank
you to the readers of my Blog and website. It’s been exciting to share these experiences with
