It
has been another great and crazy week. We have been biking between
20-45 miles everyday, that alone is very tiring. Since coming out I have
put on 5 pounds, but it looks like I have actually lost some weight
since leaving the MTC. I'm so glad to hear from everybody, it is
awesome.
I
am growing to love it more here everyday, the people are amazing, and
it is so beautiful here. We have had a lot of great lessons and we
currently are getting the most Member present lessons in the whole zone
averaging 12 a week! We still have Three investigators on date for
baptism for this month, and all of them are excited and progressing very
well towards baptism.
Of
our dinner appointments 5 of them canceled last week, someone fed us
every day but it's a little frustrating when the original appointments
cancel. We ended up having In-N-Out 3 times this past week. But we're
surviving pretty well ;)
I have been
reading a lot from Our Search for Happiness by M. Russell Ballard a lot
lately, and it is an absolutely incredible book and resource. The book
is very much directed at non members but it gives amazing insight on
almost every lesson we teach as missionaries. I have also been studying a
lot of Christs Parables, especially the parable of the laborers in the
lord's vineyard, so I'll read the parable through a couple times, and
then ponder what I think that the Savior is trying to teach, and then
I'll go and study the parable again through Jesus the Christ. It is
absolutely incredible the insights that I have received.
It has been a crazy week I hope everybody is doing well
