This week was about the same as all my other weeks. We are
working more with less-actives in the ward. We got to go home teaching with
some of the members to their less-active families.
We had Zone conference this week. That is were our whole
zone meets together and the President and Sister Sweeney along with the
assistants to the president talked to us. They told us about how the church is
about to put out this really cool video. It is called "The Gift", I
think. It is a short video that is going to come out on Thanksgiving. It is
just about the true meaning of Christmas. It is a really cool video. I guess
the church is going to do some HUGE advertising for it. They are going to advertise
the video in time square in New York City for a whole month, and on Christmas
YouTube will have it as their feature video on the home page. We also have
little pass along cards. We have to hand out 10 of these pass-along cards per
day and then weekly we have to fill out a report on how many investigators came
from handing out the pass-along cards.
I am also excited to start taking Investigators and
less-actives to the Mesa temple lights. My companion said the lights there are
amazing.
We also got to make some homemade pizza this week. My
companion worked at Domino's before he come out on his mission so he threw the
dough into a perfect circle. We are now going to work on making the perfect
tasting crust, then we are going to try to make some sauce.
Transfers are coming up on December 8th. I have been in this
area for 3 transfers so there is a pretty good chance that I will be leaving :(
I hope that I go up to the mountains. Even though I love this weather, I really
want so see some snow for Christmas.
We have a couple progressing Investigators. We have also
been working with a less-active family in the ward and they finally came to
church yesterday, so that was really exciting.
We have zone conference tomorrow and our zone leaders have asked
us to give a training on our "focus". We are just going to share
about how came up with a plan for our area and hopefully help others come up
for a focus for their areas.
That is about all I can think of for this week. I know I
don't bear my testimony very much in my emails. But I know that this church is
true and that it truly can bless our lives. Through the Atonement we can
progress and God does have a plan for each of us!
