Hola todos.
This past week was a good one. We had many lessons and things happen and it was all good. Tuesday we did a bunch of knocking and finding and then we had dinner with a member. Then we went and contacted some members we didnt know yet and we saw 2 families. I can now say we know/been in the homes of 95% of the active families here.
On Wednesday we did some service in the morning and then had dinner and a lesson with trish who will be baptized this Saturday. The lesson went really well, we went over temples a lot more and made some temple plans. Then afterwards we had English class. Thursday we had two dinners one with the 1st councilor of the bishopric and he lives in the middle of nowhere but has a lot of land and gave us a golf cart tour. Very cool guy and he is going to be taking us to Chris' on Friday to help us out there since he doesnt work and has a chainsaw. Then we had another member take us out to chick fil a after that.
Friday we had zone conference which may have been the least informative zone conference ever been to, but it might be because I'm old. But after zone conference there was a ward party and we did that and that was fun. Saturday we had many lessons. Saw carla and found someone named Dwayne. Talked with the Densmores and they said they would be at church. We had a really good lesson with Christopher and that clan. So you have to understand that these lessons are so different. They are not like regular lessons. First they feed us and then we have a theological discussion on the doctrine of their church and the true doctrine. It's actually been really nice because they start with questions and it really follows the outline of the lessons we teach. Today they asked us what we need to do to be baptized and we explained the covenant path and temples and such. They do have big hangups on why we need another book of scripture when we have the bible and also they have a huge thing about agency and why its not a thing. They believe God has chosen those who are going to follow and they will follow and the rest won't. It's a little weird to be honest. But they love having the discussions and learning about us. They havent necessarily understood the spiritual side of how we teach things, as in they need to listen to the spirit as we teach them. If they read the book of mormon they will know.
Sunday we had church and tried to see some members and then had dinner with the Dominguezs who are the farthest away member from the church. Then we had a lesson with Gail and Ronnie. And then that was the day and the week. Today I finished I-plan. And got my courses all lined up. Things are falling into place.
I got my my plan email the other day and Elder Powell got his flight plans on Friday. So things are winding down to an end.
