well lets start off with the beautiful weather this week. It has been 75-80 all week. It has been wonderful. haha. while ive heard that many of you are under many feet of snow 😜
I think the funnest thing I did this week was exchanges with elder plourde. Hes the now 4 week old missionary thats my ward. We had tons of fun and had some good lessons.
Well this week has been full of meetings.
Last Thursday we had the zone conference where we got some training, and some new rules.
The theme of the new rules is they dont want you being friends with other missionaries. haha not really but thats kind of how it feels. We are not allowed to email other missionaries in our mission. We cant have transfer meetings where we get to see everyone. We cant have big zone conferences. We cant sleep in the same room as the other companionship in your apartment. We also are not allowed to go to the mesa Easter pageant now, or temple lights :( So ya thats some of the changes. Oh well. its sad but its the rules.
We then had interviews with the Mission President, and those are always pretty intense haha. They were good though. Then we had a really long district meeting where I gave a discussion on achieving goals. I did pretty good if I do say so my self haha. And then we had a meeting with all the ward auxiliaries with our missions 1st counselor about missionary work and how the ward should be doing a lot more than just feeding us haha. although I do thoroughly enjoy when members feed us haha. The ward meeting was actually really good. We are trying to make a big push with working more with this ward. The big thing is that the majority of the members are converts and so there are some issues that come from that, for example our bishop is a convert of about 5 yrs and still is getting the hang of a lot of rules and things. But its okay, becasue we are here to help these guys out. That is one thing ive really learned this week is that the mission is a lot more than just baptisms. I mean I obviously knew that before, but this week we havnt had many people to teach, so we have been visiting a lot of inactive members and trying to help them. The first line of a missionaries purpose is "bring others closer to Christ" so thats not just non members. This week we are making a big push to try some of the training we received from the 1st counselor and work a lot more with these auxiliaries.
Our distircts all getting really sick, to where they are going to the hospital, so I really dont want to get sick.
I had some more fun with food this week. On exchanges me and Plourde went to a little whole in the wall vietnamies place. We had some awesome Pho. it was fun. We didnt have dinner a few times this week, and i made oconamiaki (or however you spell it) and fried rice. it was way good.
Thats it for this week. Really there wasnt much to it. It was pretty slow actually haha. but that will just make this week even better.
love you guys
elder miller
So fresh and so clean.
