Soooo..Tuesday..
Remember when we found the dudes wallet last week? We had a lesson with them on Tuesday. Our WML and his wife came with us since they lived on the same street as them..
It proved to be another "interesting" lesson haha
So we
are talking to the one from Boston, who has a girlfriend. We walk in and
are informed (that what felt like 20 minutes ago because of the obvious
tension in the air) they had just broken up..awka-akward. So me,
Nelson, and the WML and his wife are all LITERALLY in between them
sitting on the couch. The lesson got off topic and they started arguing
about why they broke up (emphasis on the AWKA-AWKWARD). The guy from
Boston then says "I told her that she needs to take care of some things
in Maine and Pennsylvanian"- His girlfriend then replies.."Im not going
to turn myself in!"...uhhhhh..excuse me? What was that?
Our WML look over at Nelson and mouth the words " L E T S G O" hahaha
So thats what happened there. We decided to not go back unless we have someone with us, better safe than sorry haha
Sunset at the Draper temple!
F R I D A Y F R I D A Y F R I D A Y
We had ZONE CONFERENCE! It
was the best. Sister Eberhardt (the mission presidents wife) is
very....blunt. She taught during part of the conference and I found it
to be the most enlightening. No beating around the bush, no vague
advice. ( I think im starting to like getting chastised lol) She
related us to fishes in a fish bowl, and how fish hide. Why do fish
hide? They hide when they are scared. She talked about how if we are in a
sense "hiding" its because we aren't being obedient. Her version sounded
a lot better than what I just wrote out though. Then the APs got up
and spoke about "Spiritual Crocodiles", they basically listed all the
things in our mission that they see we need to work on and where we are
lacking.
After conference our zone hopped in the mission van and headed down to the Draper temple!
It
was G O R G E O U S, and made me yearn for the day when I can visit the
temple weekly. Its interesting to me..how as a missionary (at least for
me) you get this picture of who you think everyone is. Then when you go
into the temple with them, you see them in a different light. It was a
very special moment for me. I literally cannot wait for when I can take advantage of how close the Gilbert and Mesa
temple are to my at home.
Sunday, another MAAVELOUS day of rest.
During
the relief society lesson, the lady teaching told a story about our
recent convert Davida. They had bumped into each other at the grocery
store and started talking. Davida made a comment about how her grandsons
need to be more obedient during sacrament. This lady then made the
comment that she had seen her boys in sacrament and thought they they
were such well behaved young men. Then Davida said "If they are going to
serve missions they need to be VERY obedient." Davida has only been a
member of the church for about a month. Drake is 5, Ronnie is 9, and
she already knows that she wants them to serve missions, BOOM! Made my
day!
One of our investigators in a matter of 2 weeks has prayed, read
form the scriptures on his own, and has gone to church, all of which he hasn't done in 10 years. More miracles are happening everyday and I am
loving it.
Opening up my emails this week to nothing but good news was the
cherry on top of this amazing week sundae. My cousins going to Korea,
and I have a friend going to Columbia, WHAAAT WHAAATT?! Church is so
true and missionary work is the BEEZNEEZ! I'm so excited for these two
amazing future missionaries! DO WORK!
Love
Sister Efnor
