Our Baptism (September 15, 2024)

Image
  We had a baptism this Sunday so if you read any part of this, that will be the most exciting bit.. It's at the bottom. This week was a bit slow but I would still say it was good. One of us wasn't feeling well so getting out was a bit hard. Tuesday we had our District Council which we have each week. I gave our skills training about finding people to teach, I'm not sure how well I did but I felt like it was okay. Wednesday we had an exchange I was with an elder named Elder Biesinger and for his exercise in the morning he likes to run, so we went for a run that morning and it made me realise just how unfit I am currently Thursday we did our weekly planning and we worked on the program for our friend's baptism (more on that later) we also called/ messaged everyone who we needed to have participate in the baptism. On Friday we went with our district leader for Erwin's interview (Erwin is our friend). I was really excited but I also started to get nervous because I was...

  Found still in "drafts" I'm sure many of you have not heard yet but i have a new companion as my last one, Elder Danielson finished. My new companion is Elder Van and he's from Cambodia. I'll attempt to catch up from the previous weeks After Elder Danielson went home I went to the city with one of our Zone leaders until transfers happened. And I found that I don't really like the city too much it seems like many people like to ignore you. Additionally, I on one of the mornings I was there, we got a phone call from a man who decided to start yelling and swearing at us to which he added a nice threat as the cherry on top. Although I knew that he wouldn't carry out what he said, I couldn't help but keep an eye out for a guy with a green bag (which i heard he often carries) Sunday came and and we ended up being there the whole day. The morning we had ward council and then church. After church we had church. This isn't a typo, we had two wards to atte...

A Change of Scenery (September 9, 2024)

  Also in "drafts" [over 6 months ago] I know it's been a long time and unfortunately i just don't really like writing. But still, I will try and do better. For anyone who hasn't heard yet,  I've moved to a place called Seymour which isn't too far from where i was before. The first week I was here in Seymour we got a call at about 10.25 at night and we found out that it was a person who would really like to meet with us. We are really trying to get a time to meet with our friend who lives close by and we were able to see him on Friday. But very recently, he moved away from, and is no longer living with his partner. And from what he said on the phone he doesn't have anywhere to stay. He still said that he would like to come to church but because of his living situation it Is now much harder for him.  We were able to meet with our new member who was baptised before i came to the area and share some scriptures of comfort because she had to do something at...
