Hey everyone! We've experienced a lot of ups and downs so far this week. Everything has literally been all over the place, so it's been fun to deal with. Many cancelled lessons and even more impromptu out of nowhere lessons. Mission life is just nonstop good times!
Here's a quick run through of this week:
Monday we played a lot of basketball and volleyball with some other elders in the district so it was pretty dang lit. Other than that we just chilled in the apartment and relaxed.
Tuesday we had Zone Conference which was super awesome. We got a lot of incredible trainings from President and Sister Horgesheimer along with some other missionaries. Sister Horgesheimer's was the best, obviously, because it always is. She read us a couple scriptures out of 2 Nephi in the Isaiah chapters and compared us all to lions. I'll put the scripture down below. After that was over we had a couple impromptu lessons with random people we were calling. Overall it was a pretty sweet day!
Wednesday we had a pretty busy day scheduled. All of our lessons cancelled so it kinda sucked, but hey, we showed everyone else and called a bunch of people and had a couple lessons anyways. Other than
that, nothing much happened.
Thursday we also had another busy day with a ton of lessons scheduled. Most of them ended up cancelling, but again we made the most of it and contacted more people. You'll notice that this is going to happen a lot this week.
Friday was another rinse and repeat of the previous 2 days so that was hype. We STILL managed to get a couple impromptu lessons with random people so it was hype.
Saturday was a fun day for us. We had a lesson with a lady who is a member of a branch off of our church. She just talked for a long time about random things and some of her beliefs which was... interesting. After that we did some weekly planning and had a couple pretty sweet lessons. We called some crazy lady named Sharon who is convinced we worship "George Smiff". Oh well, what can you do?
Sunday was way hype! We had a sweet miracle with a lady we were teaching which will be talked about below. After that we had quite a few member visits which went pretty good. It's been good getting to know the ward a lot better, the people here are pretty awesome! To end off the night we got together with a couple other elders and watched the devotional from the Stevensons. Overall this was a fantastic week despite people not wanting to meet with us. All you gotta do is grind. And when things don't go right, to just grind harder.
Miracle of the week:
We had a lady named Wilka come to church with us. Out of the 10 people we invited, she was the one who came. It was incredible to see some fruits from our labors, so life is hype!
Funny moment of the week:
I got our vehicle coordinator Elder Bower, (I call him Papa Bear), to wear my Pit vipers in a picture with me. This man made my entire week!
Love,
Elder Bohn
The scripture reference mentioned earlier is 2 Nephi 15:26-29
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will
hiss unto them from the end of the earth; and behold, they shall come
with speed swiftly; none shall be weary nor stumble among them.
27 None shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their
loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken;
28 Whose arrows shall be sharp, and all their bows bent, and their
horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a
whirlwind, their roaring like a lion.
29 They shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay
hold of the prey, and shall carry away safe, and none shall deliver.
