Monday. Sort of an exciting day. Not because of actual missionary
stuff, but because we had to go to the foreign police and start the
renewal process for my visa. It took a long time, but there was good
group there, so we had a nice chat. Other than that, we just studied and
planned because we didn't get a chance to on Sunday. Then, we went to
FHE. That's that.
Tuesday was a nice day, last district meeting of the
transfer. It was good, but a little sad. I've really liked being
District Leader. It's almost like the difference between being a
seminary teacher and being an institute director. As a District Leader, I
have daily close contact with the members of my district. They're
awesome. As Zone Leader, which President has already told me I will be,
I'm sure there are great things about it, but I'm going to miss the
association with the individual missionaries. We also sang on Tuesday,
and taught our golden investigator, Marie. It was great. After that we
taught Kamila about the Plan of Salvation and preparation for the
temple, and promised that we would do what we needed to to get a date
when she can go to the temple for the first time. Then I started an
exchange! With Elder Boysen, the talllll British Elder.
So, Wednesday was exchange day. It was fun. Elder
Boysen is a party all by himself. We contacted quite a bit, then taught a
lesson to their most difficult, and consistent, investigator, Martin.
He's young, extremely intelligent, and refuses to pray. The reason?
Elder Tenney, who found him and taught him for quite awhile, says that
Martin is scared to pray because he knows he'll receive an answer. Which
means he will have to change his life. I agree one hundred percent.
It's a very interesting situation.
Thursday we all went to lunch for Elder Mullen's
birthday, courtesy of his parents. It was real good. After that we sang
again, then hurried back to the building to teach a lesson. the lesson
we had on plan was with a verrrrry old man, Mojmir. He's great, I really
like the guy, but he got confused and thought that we were scheduled
for next week. So he didn't come. But we set up for Friday! We contacted
for a bit after Mojmir didn't show, then taught a super cool Italian!
His name's Alessio, and he is so cool. He's 35, and teaches Italian here
in private schools. I love him už.
Friday we went to lunch with the Bohnes, who leave
in a week and a half. It's sad. But, we helped them move last week, so
they took us to my favorite restaurant EVER. Someday I'll have to take
you guys to it. We then taught Lada, the handicapped member, then Mojmir
was scheduled at 3. He didn't show. I called him and asked where he
was, and he said the meeting was scheduled at 4. Oh well. We keep trying
with him. We're set up for Tuesday now. We shall see haha. That night
we ate dinner at a member's house with two other Elders, then had Polar
Bear.We had a blast!
Today we went on a trip! I'll send some pics. But
more importantly, we taught Marie again, and gave her a baptismal date.
She is just amazing. As we were leaving, she thanked us over and over
again for the meeting, then said, "Every time I come here, it's
wonderful. It's like a rock for me, something I can stand on. Our trip
was to a church made mostly of...bones. Enjoy.
I love you all so very much,
Love,
