well for pday today we went to port royal. we went and played capture the flag at one of the abandoned forts there. it was pretty sick. but i did realize how much i dont like capture the flag haha. there really is no point to it. plus, it really sucks when you get put in jail haha. teaching was just us going around to sister alvarenga and george so we could get some pictures for elder hall before he leaves. not a whole lot of actual teaching haha. the days that we end up going to town i hate. going into town is the very worst thing ever! i so want to limit it to once a month for only zone meetings.
we went around and got elder halls journal signed. all finished up for transfers tomorrow. i kinda forgot a lot of stuff that happened today. i do know that we went out to Whitehorse and got fed by sister stokes. that food was pretty dang good.
well i had to teach one final district meeting today. i found out like the morning of haha. i spent about half the day with an elder from constant springs. we had a good day. we were able to get in a few lessons and a good thought with sheika. then elder stewart came and i spent the rest of the day with him. we went up to sonya and had a lesson with her. she didnt read again. so we read with her and gave her an assignment to read a little more. man, people who are like me back home really make me sad, cause it reminds me of how retarded that i was then haha.
Thursday 1-15-15
well we had a really busy day. it was another day where i think every hour was filled up, we had a lesson in each hour, and our numbers today looked awesome! we went into sister hudsons yard like 3 times today for different people haha. i think the best lesson we had today would be with sister hudson tho. sheika and sister alvarenga started to rebuke her so hard for not coming to church. i just sat there and was thinking "this is awesome" the whole time haha. she really needs to hear it from some members instead of some missionaries. now given, i have never told her that bluntly, but it was still super awesome to see haha. she still made up some dumb excuse for not coming to church, so things are not going to be good for her if she doesnt change soon.
the best part of today was FNA. before that tho we went over to george and taught a little bit about the temple. hopefully he can start to make harder plans to go there. butfriday night activity had a good turn out again. we just need to start getting more investigators to show up now haha. but my former companion elder danvers showed up (the one in santa who got sent home). so i talked to him for the last part of it. it was good to talk to him again. still kinda the same guy, but he's sick haha.
Saturday 1-17-15
well today we went and saw angela, ritzans mom. it was.... interesting. we ended up talking all about some super deep doctrine. i didnt say much tho. elder stewart kinda taught the whole thing.... not too much i remember other than that haha.
church was really good today but kinda bad too. we had like 50 people there by the end of it and like 40 were there for the sacrament. the numbers are now starting to make a good jump. but youth class today was way bad. one investigator said that she wanted to go to a different class because people in youth class dont talk. only like 4 or 5 people really talk in the class. alwayne even rebuked them at the end of it. we might split the class tho so that will hopefully help. but we finally got to see akeemo today. not really the best lesson. hopefully next time we can have the spirit in it more.
so i think thats the week haha. hopefully i remembered enough stuff. the mission is awesome tho. its stress, but its some of the best stress that a person can ever have. infact, its THE BEST stress ever haha.
Love,
