This week was a little crazy. We got fatter at
Fat Burger and then e-mailed and shopped and cleaned our house. Then we went
over to a non members house and they fed us pop and pizza for dinner and
following dinner, we helped them move some stuff and then we went to the YSA
activity for a while and played basketball. Then we went over and visited the
Mantilla family and shared a message!
Tuesday we drove to Yorkton and attended their
district meeting, did a teaching evaluation with Yorkton, ate their food and
then went back to Melville and went on exchanges with them after we had a
teaching evaluation with them. Had a good time and were able to teach a few
people and had some good experiences.
Wednesday we drove back into Regina and went to
some more district meetings and then we went and helped Brother S, out
in Sedley move everything out of his basement. Then we went over to Brother
Sa's home and we loaded the shed that we demolished a few weeks ago onto
out truck and took it to the dump and on the way over to the dump we were on
the Ring Road (Main highway) and even though the boards were strapped down, the
wind caught some of the boards and they broke off and were all over the
highway! It was not a really good time! We ran out and cleaned all of it off
the high way and then put lots more straps down, took it to the dump and rushed
over to the B's home and had dinner with them and our investigator N,
who has been progressing very well! Following that we taught him the Plan of
Salvation and half way through reading a scripture he felt the spirit so
strongly that he got up and HAD to have a smoke to calm him down. But
afterwards he shared some really great insights he had received and then we
went and stopped by a few others.
Thursday we helped Brother and Sister M lay
new sod at their house and cut down some trees with a chain saw and then they
took all of us to DQ for lunch. We had online proselyting and we visited E again and shared a conference talk "Come Join With Us" and he
really enjoyed it. It hit him really hard and he is getting closer and closer
to deciding to come back to church! It was great! After that we went and had to
go to Tony Romas again with sister C! ;) That was great! We then visited
some former investigators the rest of the night and collected month end K's
from our Zone and then the 2 sets of Zone Leaders came from Saskatoon and
stayed the night.
Friday we shoved 12 missionaries into a 12
seater van and drove all the way to Brandon for our MLC (Mission Leadership
Conference). It was really good. The Chapel had been renovated since I had last
been there and it looked really good and I got to see some members that I knew
from when I was last there!; Bishop Palmer and his wife. We had a really, really
good meeting and learnt a lot and received a lot of great insights and things
that we will need to apply more into the Zones around the mission! Then we
drove all the way back after our 6-hour meeting and went to bed.
Saturday the Saskatoon Zone leaders left in the
morning and we went to the temple last second. There was a family who came in
and wanted to do some baptisms for the dead and we helped out and participated
in those with them. Then we had a correlation meeting with the missionaries in
our district, did a bunch of stuff I don't remember, had a good appointment
with H, and found out that the reason he and X were not at Church
last week was because X crashed the car on the way over to the church!
But we had a good lesson and then we saw a ton more former investigators and
visited N with brother Mason. It was a really good lesson again!
Sunday C blessed the Sacrament for the
first time! It was great! We had some good gospel principles classes and Co and N were there! Following that, we went and broke our fast with the
Crebas' and shared a message with them, which was good. Then we had a lot of
planning that we had to take care of and saw a few others, took indicators and
then that was our week!
Take care and have a great
week!
