This week we had a crazy thing happen, we had no set lessons that we
taught because all the investigators we have were out of town (Easter Break) so we did a ton of Finding and
the more we find, the more awesome people we find that want to hear the message
of developing Faith in Jesus Christ. Its super awesome!
At our last preparation day (our day off) we played Risk with 4 other
elders and the game was 45minutes long because I whipped everyone off the
board. Most everyone was trying to conquer each other on the board when I just
took 3 continents and held them for 3 turns then just went "Total
Domination" status from stockpiling my people so I had an army of like 55
to start invading,.
We have a "more fit for the kingdom" program for
missionaries (exercise) so they (the overweight ones- not me) can lose weight
and they gain points overall for the amount of weight lost and I literally eat
so much and lose it so fast I don't know what to do!! It’s freaking hard to
gain weight for me let alone if I lose any more poundage I literally will be
"noodle boy" (as some of the elders have started to call me).
I am starting to write a thesis about the life of Jesus Christ and
the His attributes that have been taught and how they have developed our society. I have put into place in my life what
advancements have come from them in my personal study. I was asked to give a
training message to other missionaries.
I went up in front of a group of missionaries and taught about the
importance of an aspect of missionary work and have them develop ways to apply
it in their own work to help them. My
topic I selected was on Obedience, honestly one of my favorite topics ever. I
might not be perfect but I am trying to follow the guidelines of the mission
and what Jesus Christ has taught and I have seen a crazy amount of growth in
myself in being more patient, helpful, friendly and more loving and overall
happy with whatever happens throughout the mission work.
I'm so glad I chose to do this mission and I can see the blessings
of those that we teach be blessed by God as well.
Love ya
Elder Day
