Yoyoyo Fam Jam,
This week was quite one to remember. We were super busy and I went to the chiropractor not once, but two times! My back has never felt better and it is yet another motive for me to get rich when I'm older so I can go get my back fixed often in the future. Our schedule has been hectic as well as the schedule of the people we've been teaching, but we try to make use of all of the time we are given.
Last Friday, we had our zone conference with President Maurer, and sadly Sister Maurer wasn't able to make it because she was feeling under the weather. We spoke about many things. One thing they really focused on, was getting back into the "normal" missionary schedule by trying to drop out our "outside time" permanently. I can see why they decided to implement that because a lot of missionaries have taken it waaaay out of proportion by just playing games all day instead of doing the Lord's work. Another thing we spoke a lot about in our conference were who the stripling warriors are. For those of you who didn't know, like me, "stripling" means young. We split into three groups to write down the attributes described in 3 chapters of Alma (Alma 53, 56, 57) on 3 separate white boards. I kind of took charge of one of the white boards and wrote down the attributes the people in my group were shooting my way. Then, President had us pick the top 5 attributes we wrote down. The 5 we chose were: courageous, power of the word of God, exceedingly valiant, men of truth and soberness, walk uprightly always. These were great and President Maurer "volunteered" me to present the 5 things to the whole zone and why we chose them. He went on to explain that we as missionaries must be like the stripling warriors, courageous, walking upright at all times and being strong with the word of God which we are commissioned to proclaim to the entire world. Because we literally are called to go to war against the adversary to bring souls unto God, there isn't much of a difference between us and the young men under Helaman's command.
The weather has also taken a drastic turn into utter cold of fall. Luckily, I have a furnace within me (aka the spirit), so I don't get cold easily. But MAN, just wearing church pants and a light jacket doesn't do quite enough sometimes lol. I didn't do anything for Halloween besides watch a devotional at the church and go all out to make the best horror movie ever. That sucker is a true nightmare for anybody not of our faith hahaha. Besides that, there hasn't been too much that is email worthy. I am starting to get in touch with more of the members and I am about to rack in a butt load of referrals, I'm feeling it!
