seriously insane... but it's been another great week here in Juneau
and already week 4 of the transfer.
So Zone Conference went really well. It was fun because all the Elders
that flew in from all the Islands and Whitehorse stayed at our
trailer. So we had about 18 Elders all in one double wide trailer haha
as you can imagine it was a blast. The conference itself went really
good. Elder Hunter and I trained the missionaries on how to work more
with the members to find people to teach. It was awesome. It ended at
about 3:30 pm on Tuesday and for the rest of the day we watched church
movies and then we ordered pizza and ate at the church and then we
played basketball and dodgeball at the church until 9:00! Zone
Conferences in Juneau are off the chain. In any other Zone once it's
over you just go back to your areas and work. So we're pretty lucky
down here in Juneau.
Now that Conference is over and we got everybody on their flights the
rest of the week was smooth sailing. The stress was gone and Elder
Hunter and I could dig into the work. It's been an awesome week
though. We have been working hard to meet with a lot of the
prospective Elders and the over age youth looking to pick that low
hanging fruit ;)
The best thing that happened this last week was our investigator Pama
got baptized. She's a G. I love her she is so funny and so very humble
and teachable. The baptize went really well I got to give the talk on
the Holy Ghost 👻 I love baptisms they are the best. Pics to come.
On Thursday the ward had a beach party and that was fun we played tug
o war and ate lots of food and played volley ball. It was a blast I
have some pics and a video
Sunday was really good to. We head to church around 8:15 am and we get
home just after 3:30 because we cover the Ward and the YSA and it's a
lot of fun. We get to help out in he mission prep class and it's a lot
of fun because they look to us in like everything. They think we are
like pros haha it's so funny. They are good kids.
Well not to much else has been going one but life is good and I'm
excited for this next week to really just get to work and see who I
can help and serve this week.
Oh so last night we were at dinner with our ward Mission leader and
they had their back door open and I guess the smell of the food
attracted this cute little bear and one of the family members saw it
quick and closed the door and he chilled for a second. He was a lot
closer at first but I didn't hunk to take pictures right of the bat so
I got some as he was walking away. Super crazy the lifestyle here in
Juneau it's so pretty though
Have a good week everybody hope that life is treating you all well.
Love always
