Hey everyone!!!
I hope you have all had a good week! One more week until
Christmas!!
Well, my week has been a pretty tough week if I am honest.
We have been flogged a lot, and had quite a few days that we weren't able to
teach a single person, even on the street. One day, we had four appointments
lined up, and they all fell through or flogged, which was discouraging, but
never mind.
We are still working hard though, and hopefully this week
will be better. Something funny I must share from this week though, I have no
idea how it happened, but we ended up teaching a gay couple.
We met one of them, James I think his name was, on the
street. He was friendly and as it was cold, he invited us back to his for a
drink, and a chat. Just after we got to his though, we hear the door opening,
and he goes "oh, that's Charles, my Partner" which was interesting.
They asked some pretty good questions though, and we managed to teach them the
restoration, and we gave them a Book of Mormon. It was an interesting
experience though... very awkward.
Another good thing from this week is that we had our Ward
Christmas party which was fun. We were hoping to have our investigator Innocent
come, but he flogged but anyways. It was a good party, there was lots of food,
which disappeared very quickly (before anyone says anything, I had hardly
any!). It was good fun though.
Sunday, church was an interesting day. Me and Elder Tidwell
nearly ended up running the whole day. So a few weeks ago we were asked to give
the Priesthood lesson, so we had to give that, and then on friday night, we got
a call from the 1st Councillor asking if we could both speak in sacrament
meeting on sunday, so we agreed to that, and THEN a few minutes before sunday
school starts, the gospel doctrine teacher comes up to us and asks, as relief
society were having a special thing, if we could cover the lesson for her.
Thankfully the 1st Councillor took over that for us. But it was a busy day.
Then, I'll share a little miracle we had. By sunday night,
we had no lessons at all that day, and we were just heading back to account
with our District Leader, when he calls and says we can move our accounting
time back 50 minutes if we wanted, so we had 50 minutes to go finding. In that
time, Elder Tidwell wanted to get 3 other lessons, so we went out and talked to
everyone we could. By the end of that 50 minutes, guess how many lessons we
had? 3! It was a small miracle, but after the week we had, it made me feel so
much better.
Well I am so excited for tomorrow, we are getting to go to
the temple which will be amazing!!! I haven't been to the temple for such a
long time, it will be great.
Well I hope you all have a good week.
I love you all!!!
Elder Zach Mitchell
