ups and downs and all around
13 august 2012
Well family all is well in Zion although this week was different. So started out super awesome on Tuesday we had a Zone Training meeting just basically a meeting for all of the rest of the zone to get the information that we received at our Zone Leader Council and gave us the opportunity to train a little bit too. I got the chance to give what we called the Dubois Moment where basically talk about some things to help us on the mission but ultimately our whole life. It was something I tried in Central and so I got to do it here and it was great. I trained on being a Quality Person through Knowing our Personal Purpose, Being Positive, and Love, what I thought to be the most important things in Being a Quality Person. It went really well. Afterwards some of the missionaries said thanks and that I spoke with conviction and it was good and the whole meeting went really well. we learned a lot and the zone seemed to really get it. so it was good. We had exchanges then after but it was tough cause the next 2 days involved us helping another missionary get down to the doctor cause he Broke his foot running into his Samoan companion playing basketball. So it was good and I'm glad we got to help him out a bit. Now he has a car and all is well. Then on Wednesday we got back from the doctor and had lunch and took a quick power nap and I woke up and was hit by a train. My body was dead I was really cold although I was really hot and just felt like poopy doops but we had a referral for a family our WML found so we went out with him at night to teach them and they are sooooo awesome! The Velasquez family and they have a LA Member living with them so it was super awesome! Overall including both families there are 6 unbaptized that we ended up teaching so it was super duper cool! So the Lord definitely blessed us for serving then I just felt gross the next couple days so did what we could and rested too! I think it was some sort of flu is what my WML said but Im feeling better still a little sick get tired and a little cough but that's it. Then on saturday was just full of baptisms from the zone so we got to go and help them out and support them. We had a lesson with piel and it was interesting cause we had an awesome lesson about Prayer with him then he started asking questions and one thing led to another and we talked about the council in heaven, outer darkness, and sex and how its not that bad? needless to say it was crazy but its all good cause afterwards we talked about it and how we can improve on that. Then on Sunday just an awesome sunday as usual then at night we contacted a referral and turned out this guy is just super humble and ready to change. He just got out of jail not too long ago and might be put on probation but he told us its cause all he's trying to do is provide for himself and so he's done things and is doing things he's not proud about and wants to change all because he needs money in his pockets. So we had a super heartfelt lesson and just loved him and he knows we're here for him and he's trying to change now . Super excited to go back. But overall that is the week! I got some pictures finally for a couple of weeks so I love you all and hope all is well!!
