been Stressful. It has been good though.
So we were able to meet with and teach Pama a couple of times this
week. On Saturday we were able to have her baptismal interview and she
passed with flying colors. It was so cool and I'm way excited for her.
She told us she's the last one in her family to be baptized Mormon.
She is from Samoa and her family was married in the Temple but they
fell away and went to another church growing up. She's excited though
and her baptism has excited her whole family and we're hoping it will
help bring them all back to church.
We also had a lot of good people to visit. We're really focusing on
the over age youth in the ward and seeing why they haven't been
baptized and and hopefully we will get to teach some of theses
families soon. So exciting things are happening.
Elder Hunter, my companion is a stud and he hit his 1 year mark on
Thursday. So of course we went out and got some pizza. It was super
good 😊 Elder Jaken Hunter is from Pleasant Grove,Utah and we have a
ton in common. He played football and loves to hunt and do all sort of
things. He is definitely one of my favorite Companions. I've learned a
lot from him and he's going places. I'm pretty sure he will be the
Next AP but I guess we will find out in a couple of months haha
hopefully then he can set me up in my next area ;)
Sooo for the stressful part of my week, so me and Elder Hunter have to
give a 45 minute training to the missionaries in our Zone for Zone
Conference coming up this Tuesday so we have spent a lot of time
putting that together. On top of that we have had to figure out a lot
of Logistics from them we had to call and tell each companionship
about their flights and ferries to get her to Juneau and then we have
to find places for each of them to sleep and then set up all of their
times for their interviews with President Toone. Honestly I didn't
know this much went into Zone Conference but it has been a pretty big
Headache. Biggest reason is because we are here in Juneau and Zone
Conference is an all day thing and not just a few hours. Even after
Zone Conference were in charge of making sure 20 missionaries are
staying busy and then after all the interviews are done we will be
going to the gym and just play some games and then Wednesday Morning
we have to get all of them to the airport so they can get back to all
of their areas.
Then on top of all of that we got asked to speak in Sacrament
Yesterday in the YSA. I gave my talk based off of Elder D. Todd
Christofferson "Voice of Warning". It went really good I spoke for
about 16 minutes and it was good. Then right after church we got asked
if we could speak in our family ward on the 15 of October but that's a
minute or two away so I'm not going to stress it. Anyway
So yea we have a lot going on this week but we have prepared and now
I'm pretty excited it will be super nice to see all the missionaries
in the Zone and get to visit with them.
Life is all good and I'm pretty excited to just continue to work as
hard as I can. I love it here in Juneau. It doesn't ever stop raining
but haha it's all good. It's so pretty I'll actually take some pics
next week so I can share it all with you guys.
Anyway I love you all have a great week.
