Letter #6 -- First week completed!

HHHOLA!

So just completed my first week in the field! CRAZY! It went by really quick.

Saturday:
Went on my first Blitz. A blitz is where two companionships trade companions and go tracting, doubling the amount of tracting per companionship (so if I go tracting in one area, and he goes to another, and we each go for an hour, we actually get two). Pretty sweetness. I got 3 appointment set up but two changed their minds... the other guy I'm excited to teach, hopefully it works out. After that, we went to find the investigators that the previous missionaries were teaching, so we could introduce ourselves and get teaching appointments set up. Went to a baptism for one of my companions previous investigators, and it was way sweet, I'm excited for when I have the chance to baptize someone.

Sunday:
Stake Conference at church, way good, took some notes. Elder C. Scott Grow (funny name) of the Seventy spoke! After that we went tracting again, then went to dinner at Brother Fallapapalangi's. Tongan's eat like beasts, so all this food I assumed was for everyone, was actually just for Elder Skousen and I. It was insanely good, but I hurt afterwards. Visited more members, and then went home to sleepy sleep.

Monday:
Got up early to go to Mission Conference. Elder C. Scott Grow spoke again, and it was amazing. One thing I really likes was his Spiritual strength. Before he was baptized at 8, he knew for sure that Joseph Smith truly was a Prophet of God, and from then on he made choices that, although seemingly small, would never have led to him to becoming a Seventy had he chosen differently. I forgot my Study Journal, else I'd share a really cool scripture. Anyways, we went and found one of the investigators, and scheduled him to be baptized in a couple weeks, which I'm pretty excited about! Bakes some cookies for the Bishop, burned them a lil' bit, but we gave them to him anyway.

Alrighty, so that's how the weekend was! I've been doing a lot of scripture study, and loving every minute of being out here. Today we are going to OMSI, which I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I know it will be fun (something to do with the Omnimax theatre).

WHAT'S NEW????


Oooo here's a good one Alma 37:36

What sort of things do you want to hear about? Not sure what to talk about.
