This week has been a bunch of member visits, tedious things, and a couple teaching appointments! and the highlights are that with John, we started to clear concerns! the way that we are teaching him is giving him homework (a lists of questions that can be answered by finding verses during reading) and we had him read lehi's dream, and from this lesson, he started bringing up concerns that he had about life, and a few other things and its been awesome clearing them up.
also in the way of teaching, we finally met Shannon! she is a sweet lady! she broke her leg and so we help her by walking her dog, and eventually when she's all settled, she wants to learn more!
then in way of events, we have done quite a bit of service! we sorted onions, carted food boxes to people, set up food boxes, etc. and its way fun! we will also (whenever it decides to snow (yeah like its been heck'n nice this last week, windy, but nice)) shovel walks for a couple ladies in the ward and whoever else needs it.
we also had Zone Conference and now this was a joyous meeting.
Now the joy of Elder Dahl was so great even that he was full; yea, he was swallowed up in the joy of his God, even to the exhausting of his strength; and he fell again to the earth. (not really but close) Now was not this exceeding joy? Behold, this is joy which none receiveth save it be the truly penitent and humble seeker of happiness. Now the joy of Elder Dahl in meeting his brethren was truly great, and also the joy of Elder Scott, of Elder Gronneman, and others; but behold their joy was not that to exceed their strength.
I think that sums up zone conference. It was awesome. especially to see and talk with Elder Scott again. and when we met with his zone (Newfoundland) many of the missionaries where like "oh! this is Elder Dahl you were elder Scotts companion in presque isle!" so it seems that the Fame of Maine has reached Newfoundland haha. but yeah! zone conference was awesome. there was a gift exchange, and i'll just say i got the short end haha i got some candy a few stickers and a spiderman figurine in a stocking, and i ended up with a thrift store coat liner. but thats the way it goes sometimes haha. there were some crazy gifts. one of which was a twirking santa robot and that was legit. (a senoir couple ended up with it haha)
the last highlight of the week was that Elder Ruegeau and i will being teaching english connect! and that's going to be lit!
still don't have my phone yet, so no pictures :(
but I love you all and hope this letter find you well!
remember to read and pray!
