Tuesday was super busy with 7 lessons.
We taught an awesome discussion on the Plan of Salvation with one of our
investigators. We also went and saw a lot of our less-active members that day.
One of them in particular was going through a really hard time and we were able
to give him some comfort and give him a blessing as well.
Wednesday was Transfers. Two elders in
our district left. We have a new roommate now. When the meeting ended we
hurried over to our new baptism’s house to have lunch and teach him some of the
new member lessons again. He is still doing really well and it's fun seeing
him.
Thursday we went and saw a less-active
member that we haven't seen in a while. We shared a nice Christmas message and
invited her to come to Festival of Lights. She really wants to go and used to
go a lot. She has a daughter that lives in Silver Springs, which is pretty
close to the temple. So she thought she could go with her this coming week. We
visited a few other less actives throughout the afternoon and had an enjoyable
time with them. In the evening we went over to a potential investigator's home
that we General Questioned (GQ’d) the week before. She is really interested and
super nice. We briefly taught her and have a return appointment this week.
Friday we went and saw a less-active
member and had a nice, short visit with her and her son. In the evening, my
companion and I taught mutual about seminary attendance. I don't even know why
they have a problem because they only have seminary on Wednesday at 7pm. Sorry,
I should have more sympathy. Afterward, we played soccer and had a fun time.
Sunday we had a nice sacrament meeting.
After sacrament meeting there was a baptism of a kid in the branch and we had a
lunch afterwards. We went and visited two less-active families in the evening.
In regards to the call home for
Christmas, We have a meeting/party at the Visitors’ Center we are at from
around 9am-1pm (6am-10am pacific time). The earliest we will probably call is 2pm
your time. Just plan on some time after 2pm, probably around 2pm-5pm. We
haven't been given much on the subject of the call yet and my companion needs
some details from his family. I'll let you know next week a more precise time.
I'll still Skype on my iPad probably at the church building. My Skype name is ***
just let me know what user/computer you'll be Skyping off of.
I normally shop at Safeway (and use
dad's phone number for the Safeway card), sometimes we shop at Walmart but it's
21 blocks away. I normally get breakfast stuff and a little bit of lunch
and dinner stuff. Normally members give us a good amount of food so we don't
have to buy a ton. We normally walk less than a block to Safeway and go in get
the few things we want. It is set up almost the same as the one in Roseville. I
get my 1-5 things and I pay usually at the self-checkout. Besides groceries, we
don't go shopping a ton. Sometimes if we want a specific thing from a store
we'll go to Target, Five Below, CVS or wherever but it's now on any regular
basis.
Love,
