Season 6 Episode 8: let get this bread

 Yeah so elder Fife headed home this last week, and now elder Penner is my companion, and he is an absolute stud of a missionary. 

Because this week has been an absolute grind and here's why!

We started with a whole bunch of area book calling and let's just say that many people have been prepared for the random calls that we gave them over the course of the last couple nights. At first we started calling formers and we didn't have a whole lot there although we did find two potential people to give returned calls to. Then we started calling random members because we don't know a whole lot of them. And we ended up calling to less active ladies who had been pondering on whether or not to call the missionaries and go back to church. 

We have had many lessons with other members and are slowly getting referrals from them including a family that has been asking one of the families of the ward questions about Joseph Smith and the church! So we're just waiting for those normal and natural interactions to turn into a teaching opportunity for us. Then there's a handful of other young couples that have co-workers and classmates that have also been asking them questions. It's so cool to see how the Lord is preparing people even if we're not teaching people. Additionally along with balancing the area we've also had a lot of focus on the zone and how to unify it. This transfer we will be blessed to have an in-person Zone conference and this particular conference will be the Christmas Zone conference which I am so so excited for! I believe that this will be an excellent way to unify the zone. 

Additionally we've been calling each team in the zone rather than just District leaders to get to know them and to answer any questions they have. And then of course there's the other thing to throw into the midst which is helping the Facebook page and right now it's kind of struggling, but with light the world coming up it's going to get pretty sweet!

Something that I've done with my studies recently since I finished my journal Edition Book of Mormon is doing what president Nelson did which is read the references in the top of a guide relating to Jesus Christ. I really enjoyed this and I've been able to finish the section on Jesus Christ, Redeemer and Jesus Christ, advocate it's so incredible to read how much Jesus Christ has truly done for each of us. One other thing that I've noticed is the Bible does a good job at describing what a redeemer and Advocate is but The Book of Mormon stresses about having faith in it more than the Bible says about it, so that was a fun pattern. Insure my Studies have been very uplifting and I've been able to learn more about Jesus Christ role and our Salvation as well as the choice that is up to us to accept it.

I'm also super pumped to be able to have all these exchanges with so many Elders as well. Overall I'm very excited for this transfer!

Anyways sorry this one's a little bit shorter I do love you all and hope you have an excellent week! Please remember to read your scriptures and to pray and also to check out the new light the world stuff and what -president Nelson is going to share with us this Friday... I think

Until next time!!
