Transfers

 Happy general conference week!

   Fun fact, our ward won't watch general conference for two weeks. So if Jesus comes then I politely ask for someone to let me know. Let's see what happened this week? 

   Monday: I think I already talked about it, but we went on a hike in the rain. Can't get any better than that. But we got subway after and played spikeball so it was good. And today we have zone pday at our chapel. That means lots of volleyball and not a stupid long bus ride. 

   Tuesday: So today we did service for a ward member. She has a 16 acre property and lots of trees. So we've been raking and will be doing it for the next month. But she made us apple pie, so can't complain. The rest of the day looked like one lesson, door knocking, Facebook finding, and practicing a song for Facebook with Elder Oliphant and Sister Mataiti. Then we had another service with the Elders quorum. 

   Wednesday: Started with district council as usual. After that we all went and got lunch. Then we finished the song we were doing. After that we went and had a visit with one of our friends. Then we saw some members. Some of them really needed someone to talk to. So that's what the rest of the day looked like. We also were able to do some finding.

   Thursday: Not a whole ton happened today. We had cleaning to do for our flat inspection Friday. So we went to town cleaning. Then after that we went finding. We did that up to dinner with Sister Robertson. For dinner we made dumplings and one of the friends we're teaching came. We had a fun time cooking. And had a great dinner. Sister Robertson is known for her dumplings and there's a competition between missionaries who can eat the most. The old record was 46. I ate 47. There's a new king in town folks! Had a rough night after eating that much. After dinner we had a lesson with our friend.

   Friday: We had lots of planning today. And then we had a teaching appointment with one of our friends. It went good. He has a dog who's a large puppy and wouldn't stop biting me. But it's ok because I'm his favorite. After that we had a lesson with a friend with President Johansson joining us. Sadly the lesson fell through. But we still had a great time talking with president. He's honestly a pretty funny guy. After that we had basketball night. We had some friends and members come and we played a full court game. It was a good time. 

   Saturday: The day started with a teaching with one of our friends. Bright and early. The lesson went good though. Then we went back to our flat and did our study and so forth. Then we went door knocking. While knocking we found someone who we were able to share a message with. He was interested because of recent events in his life. He said we could come back next week to share more of our message. We did lots more door knocking for the rest of the day. And we had some Facebook finding. Then we went to a Vietnamese restaurant for dinner. It was pretty fire ngl. 

   Sunday: So we had church. I know, big surprise. After our meetings we planned for two lessons we had for the day. We went to our first one. It was with our friend who drove up and asked us if we could visit him. He invited a friend to the lesson also. It went really well. They had lots of questions and we had lots of answers. And our friend is coming to church with us next Sunday. Then we had our second lesson which also went good. After that we went and door knocked for a little and found someone who talked with us for a little. Then we had dinner and watched a session of general conference. Then we had our transfer call.

   Now the answer we've all been waiting for. Do I stay or go??? That's a good question. Maybe it could've been worded a little different. But hey I'd give it a B+ if I was an English teacher. But I'm not... well the answer to the question is I'm staying with the same comp plus another Elder. So we're going to be a trio. I'm excited for that. 

   I never know what format to do emails. Like just talk about key points or go day by day. Overall this week was pretty awesome! For personal study yesterday I read the book of Moroni and it highlights important blessings and commitments we make as members. In chapter ten it talks about if we want to know the answer to something then pray, be worthy to receive the answer, read the Book of Mormon, and listen. So just do that. We tell our friends who we teach to just ask if our message and the Book of Mormon is true. God will tell them straight up either it is or it's not. But to pray and you'll get the answer. God will never lie, and I know that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ. 

   Well I love you all, and hope you have the most stellar week. Thanks for the love and support. Fun fact I hit four months this week. Talk to ya next week!
