So for this week! It was pretty eventful!
Tuesday: there was a new missionary meeting for the newer missionaries and so the district leader sent his greenie to go with a car full of missionaries and came with us for the day. It was pretty fun and we got to teach J again like every Tuesday. She just seems so much happier than she was when we first met her; it’s incredible. Anyways we planned on teaching her about the Word of Wisdom because we knew that she drinks coffee and tea. We got there and just talked for a bit and then she just said "oh yeah and I haven’t had coffee or tea for a week... why is it that we can’t drink those?" I was super shocked and we explained it and she accepted it and said she won’t drink either of them anymore! It was amazing! Our dinner that night fell through - luckily the district leaders’ dinner didn’t so we went with him! yay! After dinner the mom that lived there pulled out a bunch of stuff from a church class she took awhile back and taught us a ton about like how the temples were back in the day and about where the new temple is supposed to be built before Christ comes again and it was super awesome.
Wednesday: we went on exchanges and the district leader came with me to my area again and we had a very successful day. He interviewed the two girls for their baptisms and we got the program all figured out. We also got to visit two less actives we haven’t seen for a while, one of which actually let us come in and sit down and introduced us to his family, which he hasn’t done the last 3 times we had been there. I guess having the district leader with me was just good luck! We had a pretty full day and didn’t have much time to do anything else.
Thursday: was just a disappointing day but we did get lots of service in at the bishop storehouse because they had hardly anybody there helping and there were 89 orders to fill which is a lot above average.
Friday: we had president interviews and we just talked about better ways to bring in new investigators. We were there for a while because we gave two other elders a ride and had to wait for them to get finished. We then went and saw a member family and just checked in on how they were doing and if they needed anything from us and they were really nice. They are an awesome family! Later that night we went to go practice for this choir thing in Upland... well we got there and it turns out our zone leaders gave us the wrong date and so we sat there for a while and then called the APs and asked when it was and found out it was the next night... that took up the rest of our night.
Saturday!!! We woke up and got all ready for the baptism. I squeezed into my white baptism pants and we greeted everyone who came. It was a really good program. Brother J gave a talk on baptism that was really good and S’s nonmember brother read a scripture about baptism. It was really neat because there were a lot of non-members at the baptism from both families. After the talk I got the opportunity to baptize both S and M! It was a really good experience and afterwards you could just see how happy they were - it was really awesome. After that we just went and did some tracting and had lunch and everything and then that night we had our ward Halloween party! It was so much fun! I loved being with all the members! I sat down and got to know a lot of the youth that I hadn’t gotten a chance to really talk with at church and make friends with many of them. It was also awesome to see all the little kids in their costumes. I got lots of great pictures!
