monday after i emailed you, we went on a hike up by our house, its a really cool area to see the laguna lake from high up on the hills by our house. just got a few scrapes and stuff from jumping down the dirt hills and stuff, i felt like i was on a boy scout trip!
Tuesday we went and visited one of the districts in our zone for district meeting, surprisingly it was being taught by my anak (trainee) in the mission, Elder Cava, so that went really well. after that we went and ate at Manginasal.
Wednesday was really long, we had zone conference, it started at 8 in the morning and went until 6 at night, but it was good i learned a lot. i laughed at my self when the mission president said "i am tired of getting 3 sentence emails from you guys saying that everything is going good" well... that has been my email to him for the past year haha so i will have to try to step it up when i send him emails. one of my favorite scriptures used in the conference was D&C 38;27 27 Behold, this I have given unto you as a parable, and it is even as I am. I say unto you, be aone; and if ye are not one ye are not mine. it applies to a lot of things in life, a lot to missionary work and companions, its vital that we are working in unity or the spirit will not be in the lessons.
Thursday we had exchanges, elder Cava came and we worked in my area, it was really good to see how much he has progressed in the mission. nice. we went and taught a less active dudes wife. the dude told us about his job, he said he is a bounty hunter and used to live in california, but is trying to lay low here for a while. his wife is really nice and accepting of the message, she said she is willing to be baptized.
Friday we went and ate at a recent converts house, we ate so much i was literally about to throw up, but after a few cardiovascular breathing activities i was able to keep it all down, thankfully i have had experience in situations like that, (Blessing)... after that we went and got punted a bit, but finally got into a less actives house, a lady that we have never met was there and she said she wasn't a member, so she started asking us all these deep questions and trying to argue with us! so after about an hour of jumping from topic to topic she basically lets us know we were on MTV's hit series "punked" we were just waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come out! haha she let us know she was a member and told us she actually served a mission at the same time that our mission president served!
Saturday the morning was a bit crazy one of the elders in our district sent himself home so his comp was put into a threesome with his house mate dudes, they had an appointment, and the one had a bap interview, so we went and had some emergency exchanges with them.
Yesterday was pretty good, normal ol sunday. had some good lessons, and a dinner appointment!
its kinda sad though because sunday is always the day we wait for, if our investigators and less actives are going to come or not! we always have to move bap dates and stuff since they arent coming to church! it gets stressful sometimes, but its all good.
Everything is going good, our house is full of awesome elders, one of them is from new zealand so we have been playing a lot of rugby with the free time we have.
