Hey everyone! Things have gotten... exciting to say the least. We got some bad news and then some good news, so it's been an emotional roller coaster. We've had a really good time so it's pretty awesome. I can't complain!
Here's a quick run through of the week:
Monday was the fateful day we got some bad news. Apparently a couple people in the mission got Covid so the entire mission got put into quarantine again. So no more in person lessons, no service, no missionary meetings. So that completely wrecked our schedule for the next couple days. But, as all things, it'll buff! We ended up just drowning our sorrows in thrift shopping so it was all okay.
Tuesday was a fun day! We had a service project in the morning and 6 lessons scheduled throughout the day, but they all fell through because we are in lockdown. So we just improvised and made the most of the day and did some Facebook work and did a ton of contacting.
Wednesday we got some good news. President Horgesheimer said that if we aren't experiencing any symptoms, then we can do in person lessons and do only outdoor service. It worked out really well for us because we had a couple lessons scheduled that meeting in person is the only effective way to meet them. Things did get pretty interesting when we had a self referral tell us she was being haunted by demons and that they were running around all over her house and scratching her at night. So we went over and gave her a blessing and dedicated her apartment. So that was pretty fun.
Thursday we had Zone Conference over zoom, which was kind of depressing. It ended up being pretty awesome in the end. I definitely learned a lot and the spirit was strong! After Zone Conference ended we had a lesson with our friend, Ian, that went awesome. He had a lot of questions for us about the Book of Mormon and finding answers and we were able to answer all of his questions. He's slowly starting to realize that what we teach is the truth, and we're hoping and praying that he will want to act on his promptings.
Friday we spent most of the day studying and planning for the rest of the week so it was a pretty slow day. We had a couple lessons throughout the day that went pretty good. Overall it was a pretty awesome and relaxed day.
Saturday was a wild day for us. We had a pretty fun time getting pied in the face. (More on that will be in the funny moment of the week). After, we had some incredible lessons with people we are teaching.
Sunday was a super busy day from the beginning. We had ward council at 9am and then went over to a watch the church zoom meeting with a lady we're teaching named Shaunda. After that we went back to meet with the lady who's apartment we dedicated and she said that things have definitely been getting better for her which is awesome. We were able to talk with her a little bit more about our church and what we believe. We set up another time to come talk with her again, so we are excited to help her in any way we can!
Funny moment of the week:
So our new Zone focus is focused on learning the 42 doctrinal points in Preach my gospel and applying those things we learn. We get points for studying one of the points and then we get more points for every time we share that point, or use it in a lesson. For example, if I study about "our lives on earth" then I want to try teaching that to people to get points. And just like last time, there are punishments. This weeks punishment was being pied in the face. And thus we got pied in the face. This is missionary work ladies and gentleman.
Miracle of the week:
The biggest miracle of this week for me probably has to be the lessons we've had with people we're teaching. Each one just seemed to go perfectly and the spirit was strong in all of them. Hopefully we can continue to meet with all the people we're teaching and help them grow closer to Christ!
Love,
Elder Bohn
