well we had a very eventful week.
it was probably the best week i have had as far as missionary work in a
long long time. we taught a lot of lessons and did a lot of work. Since
we conver 12 wards there is soo much work to be done and i feel bad
because we can';t give adequate time to each of the wards. they really
need to split this stake as far as missionaries go. we need another set
here. WE are teaching 7 people right now. Jugling all the things we need
to do for these investigators takes up most of our time. but somehow we
are still picking up new investigators. this is the 10 week where we
have found at least 1 new investigator.
So this week
we went on 2 exchanges. 1 with the assistant and 1 with a district
leader. and we have another exchange this week with our other district
leader. They were both very good exchanges, and it was nice to learn and
then also to teach missionary work. Although i dont really like to
exchange because i hate packing up. sooo thats while i stayed both
times. elder northrop has been getting to know other areas haha.
It
was a good weekend though. I was thinking of hannah and kevin all
weekend and i even got my tie last monday so that i could wear it last
friday. i hope you enjoyed the picture of me in my tie. i had my
landlady send that for me so that you could enjoy it. There was also a
parade/ fair friday night and saturday morning. and it was right across
the street from where we live. it was not good. i wanted to go soo bad,
haha but obviously i wouldnt. the music was super loud and it kept us up
at night. but i did enjoy the fireworks saturday night. they even
started and ended before we had to go to bed so it was all good fun. we
watched it from the porch of our house. so that was nice.
Sunday
was good as well. we were expecting 5 investigators at church but only 3
went.:( thats not bad but also not that good either. but funny story at
church. Sitting next to our investigators there was this awesome family
in front of us. they were so nice, and they have young kids that were
fun. towards the end of the meeting i was listen looking down at the
ground and i see this liquid pour down from the seat in front of us. it
came between the crack in the cushioned bench seat. i was going to tell
them that they had juice spilling when i saw the mom just grab her
forehead in frustration and probably embarrassment. i saw the exchange
of whispers and lip reading as i saw the mom tell her husband that there
child just peed there pants and also the bench and the ground beneath
it! hahaha. felt soo bad for them but it also was pretty nasty and it
smelled the rest of the mtg.
Spiritual story of the
week- We picked up a new investigator sunday night. Conner Green is an
adopted son from china. almost the exact same situation as scott walker.
except he is blind. so same situation we don't speak mandrin. we took
hijm to temple square to have the sister talk to him. the sister that
translated for us was from the same city as connor and even spoke the
same dialect. The Lord is mindful of all his children. Connor is so much
like chirst already. so loving and kind. he loves everyone and does not
have the bias of looking at them. he does not judge. The lord knew he
needed this sister to help him. so of course i called president chambers
and got the okay for her to continue to help us teach him in the home.
President and i are close like that. haha.
Today is
Pday because we are going to the temple. i will enjoy that. i love the
temple. i cant wait until i can attend more often when i am home.
Well gotta go.
LOve Elder Salmon
