Wednesday we had another great district council in edmunston and i was able to give a training on asking questions and this is the question that i started with to being the training and that is "what is your favorite question Jesus asked?" so ill extend that to y'all! we then had to book it down back to mapleton so that we could make it to the second lesson we had with Cole! we taught the restoration and told him where the book of Mormon came from and he was down for all of it and has made it out to church every week! he is doing so solid. we asked him when he thinks he'd be ready for baptism and he said that he'd have to ask his parents... so that kinda puts into how old he is! he looks a lot older (and in that sense reminds me of my younger brother haha). we also went to another soccer game and the coach that elder atkins plays on thursdays was there anc came to shake are hands and he's a super cool guy! presque isle won that game 1-0 if i remember right (heck yeah) we also swung in on Gordon and he hasn't really changed so we'll give him a month or 2 for the spirit to work on him haha.
then over the course of the next few days we started to plan a light the world float (which I may not even be here for but hey) and while we were looking up ideas, the power went out. in short a super big wind storm came through and some trees hit some power lines so that put a damper on the plans to make plans. but it was shortly after that we got a call from elder Scott and Nally they requested that a disk (that contained a MRI) that was given to the sisters in edmundston be given to us to give to a member asap. so that was what we did Saturday, as well as go to the last PI soccer game where again the coach came up to us. he talked about having elder Atkins help coach basketball since its that season now. so that would be pretty cool! we also drove down to the bothas because they haven't been responding to messages... and it turns out that they just got a new phone and we are meeting them friday haha.
Sunday came around and Maidson and Cole came and we had an ok fast and testimony meeting. lots of stories... testimony meetings should be full of many people giving what they know to be true. not travelogs or some cool think or miracle that happened in the month, if you want to do that, ask the bishop or one of his councilors to give you a talk in church. not hating on what God has given his children, just that's not what fast and testimony meeting is for.
we also finally got to meet with cheryl! she was a self referral that had a few things come up, and we gave her the book of mormon and a passage to read before next Sunday! we also met with Holy smoke aka Tom, and talked with him about the Book of Mormon, and we think he's all set with this religion, but he kept the Book of Mormon!
Then for dinner, the himes had us over and sister himes made a hamburger rice thing and cooked it in a pumpkin! it was super good to! I have never eaten pumpkin (aside from muffins or spiced things) before and it was not bad! the himes are a super family.
then yesterday, we did a lot of writing. That is, our number on the back of light the world cards. we also visited with Brother Aloise (we've meet with him just about every other day watching conference or the Book of Mormon videos and hes the best he's so funny.) we also turned in our registration for a float in the PI light parade and taught madison!
Madison is quite a character. we've had few lessons with her and she seems to remember parts of them but she really wants to be baptised on the 15th (she told her friends about it) but she needs to be taught a few more things before she can, so we told her that she had to be taught everything before, and she told us, then meet with me more! im open mondays tuesdays fridays and you can teach me before young women and even after church! and were where like alrighty then! so we kept it and are teaching her wednesday and probably friday and the next available days. so she is doing great!
love you all and i'm glad that you enjoyed the skit! keep up your scripture reading and prayer they are 2 of the most important things to do every day! until next week!
