This week was sooo good! We had some people from Salt Lake come in to our mission this week and it was a ton of fun. They switched up some things of how we do stuff. I'll tell you what it is in a bit.
So Tuesday I took Elder Johnsen to the mission office and it was pretty quick, just took some pictures and I said goodbye to everyone. It was honestly pretty sad. I'll miss Elder Johnsen, Elder Watson, and Elder Cannon. They were some good missionaries, so it was a bummer. But I got with Elder Ward right after that and it was way fun. We have had a super good time together I'm excited to be with him.
Wednesday was district activity and the people from Salt Lake came in to the meetings. It was really interesting to have them. They changed some things. The most interesting part was on Saturday. Brother Donaldson came to our ward coordination meeting and at the beginning Brother Donaldson called President Alexander and said he needs to ask for permission of what he's going to do. He said we are a pilot ward. So he told us what we're doing. It was sort of the same concept we've been taught but the difference was we are going to make a team for each of the people we are teaching to help them progress. There's a little more to it, but that's pretty much the gist.
We found some really solid people this week too. We had some big miracles this week. We were going to deliver a free bible to a lady and they somehow didn't want the bible, it was weird. We had a couple minutes before our next appointment so we knocked on a neighbor's door. We met a nice lady from Paris who said she knew some members of our church. We got talking and she let us in and she said that we were an answer to her prayers. It is one of my favorite things to hear when someone says that. The Spirit was super strong in her home, she has a big family and we are going back over there tonight. Let's hope she can feel the spirit while we teach the restoration!
Sunday we saw some big miracles! We had our church and it was really good, there were some really solid talks on missionary work by a member and President Sheppard. So church was great. So we hop in the car and head home after church and we get a call that bunch of high schoolers are at the church wanting to learn more. So we head back and got to talk to a bunch of high schoolers and it was way fun! Then we leave and get a call from other missionaries saying there's another person that just showed up to church and wanted to learn more! We're teaching him this Halloween. It'll be super fun. I'm really excited especially with what's happening here! I love this ward.
Anyways things are going really good down here with Elder Ward. He's from San Diego he's been out quit a while now.
