First off usually on
Mondays we go to the other elder's place to do some laundry and in my morning
run I was pondering on the thought of what we could do for a video! So we
discussed it as a companionship and then with the other elders and filmed it
last pday! It was pretty fun to make, never thought I'd be doing the silly
little video editing I did for easy A high-school projects but here we are
doing it once again to attempt to share the gospel! So it was pretty fun to
make and kind of explains what missionaries do and how some of them are just a
little special when they're being trained. It was a good time!
Also something they're
now doing is like a page for each zone. It's something they've done for all the
missions in the states so don't be surprised if you get invited to like
"Church of Jesus Christ in___" basically these pages are run by the
missionaries in the area and all the members are involved we try to post stuff
that makes people comment and then we try to message them personally and set up
a lesson. So pretty cool, what we've been doing still is just friending
literally EVERYONE who has anything to do with Freeport (so if you look at my
friends list these days you'll find a lot of interesting people haha) and then
we message them. We got two new people this week from doing that who both live
close by us!
Super cool miracle is
we went to little Caesars one night (no surprises there) and this girl who was
working there showed us a pass along card she kept from some past missionaries.
She said she wanted to meet with us. We called her up and asked if her family
was with her and now we found a whole new family to teach! And we got a member
present lesson with them today with another family in the ward which is kind of
how we're counting church right now! ALWAYS ask if there is anybody else in the
house who want to listen haha. That's what the Nigerians taught us.
It's crazy that we're
starting to find as many people in this quarantine as we were back during my
days on the streets of the city! We've friended so many people that people in
the grocery stores see us and say "Hey you guys friended me on Facebook!
What are you doing?" Haha never thought it would be working this way but
it is! Also stores are so depressing because every time we go shopping it feels
like we're either in the middle of a world pandemic, or face masks are just
some sort of gnarly new trend. I'm just going to pretend it's the latter.
Quarantine is
interesting, but our companionship, zone, and mission have decided to show it
who is boss. WE are the master of our attitudes, and so we decided we might as
well have a good time! If not, then I'm afraid I haven't learned a thing on my
mission. But I want to become a disciple, and these wonderful people around me
are helping me do that. I am grateful for them!
Hope everyone has a
blessed week and not a stressed week!
