Okay so first off I got sun burnt because we were outside all week helping at events and miscellaneous service projects. I don't know why that is first off but, I will roll with it. I went on exchanges with one of our Zone Leaders, which means that he came into our area and there were three of us. It was good. We had our District Meeting that day, FINALLY! I have been the district leader here in payson for four weeks and that was our first District meeting of the Transfer. I don't know if this makes any sense but, we only have one meeting a week. So, we had Zone Conference the second week, ZTM the third week, and District Meeting this last week. Man, I'll stop talking about meetings.
Elder Bebee was the Zone Leader's name and we had a pretty fun day with him. We had a lesson with Chuck. His is a cool guy! He is looking for a religion to join because he just recently wanted to get to know God because his girlfriend died. He is really sincere and honest about everything it is awesome. He has been going to this other church on Sundays and he always comes back with some kind of controversial question about mormons. It is a little annoying but, he is willing so study it out so, he will be fine. He said he is finishing Genesis soon and then he said we could read the book of mormon with him. Brilliant! I love him. Sad news is that we found out that day that our investigator Don moved away.
The next day I went on an exchange with the other Elders in our district. I went with Elder Hale and my companion, Elder Boyce, went with Elder Hale's companion. Also, something cool about this day, Wednesday, was that we brought Brigham with us. Brigham is a guy from our ward that is temporarily home from his mission in Guadamala because of injury. He asked us if he could come out with us so, he spent the whole day with us. That's what you get I guess. It was awesome though. We stopped by this one less active lady and she remembers cleaning Brigham's teeth as a kid. It was a good break the ice conversation and she invited us back to meet her family. That was an excellent day. We had another lesson with Billy. We taught him about the Gospel of Jesus Christ the day before with Elder bebee and now here we were teaching him again about prayer and he prayed that night. He was like "Dear Heavenly Father, It's good to see you again..." Haha, it was awesome! It was so powerful, you could tell it ment so much to him.
Thursday was kind of a weird day. Most of the day we were helping out at this farm for community service. There were a bunch activities for the kids and we helped run the little mini games. It was all good fun but, I did get sun burnt. So sad... Friday was a long day. We had to set up a bunch of tables for this meeting our mission president had. We had to go do a ton of other errands to get luch and things. All well do our big planning session for the week. That was a long day but, worth it because we are ready to takle another week. Haha
Saturday was interesting we went to a shooting competition and I got 12th overall. So, not that bad for only having shot a hand gun like once or twice in my life. There were like thirty or fourty shooters there. You get what you get I guess.
Haha Just Kidding! We just helped out at the shooting competition. It was a scout fundraiser and they didn't have enough scouts so, we helped with the food and handed out water and stuff for the shooters. It was fun! The majority of the people were non members. It was a great opportunity but, I was a little jealous of the shooters. It looked way fun!
Well until next time. You just have to deal with this splotchy email. Yesterday we had church in Young. It was a packed house because a ward visited from Heber and they brought their 60 something youth down. Man, I didn't know there could be that many youth in a ward. It was a blast for Young, they are used to having 20 people at church, and they are all over 65. No joke!
