I would like to express that i have no idea what happened this week again but i will try to recount all that has happened because it is quite crazy!! Haha and it has all gone by super fast!
Monday- well it was cold so we decided to go down to the aquarium for the day and it was super awesome. It hasn't changed much from when I went the last time but it was still super fun. It was great to be there with all of the other elders they are so much fun!! It was tons of fun and I touched a stingray, a starfish and these like tiger fish thing it was so cool!! Then that night we went to the Yue house. They are a part member family and we are teaching the son who is 24. He is so funny, his name is Manly Winters... as Jeanluc would say, it's better then a girly summer hahahhaha. He is super cool and very interested. The lesson was kinda funny because we made it into a none formal lesson and we just asked if he had any questions about anything he has heard or anything like that. Then boom, just like that the lesson on the plan of salvation and the three kingdoms of glory came out and it was so amazing. He had a lot of questions about where we came from and how it works. It is so great to see the spirit work!!
Tuesday- Whammo - suprise meeting in the morning for the zone leadership. So I went to that and it was really great we talked about the work in the zone and what we can do to help it improve. Also, about what needed to be done to help us as district leaders improve and help our missionaries. We came up with the topics for our next zone training which is this wednesday! It was a great day and we have really been focusing on our investigators and it was great to see how that has helped us teach more and a lot better. That night we taught Mike the plan of salvation and we asked him what would you do to go to the celestial kingdom and he was like well I need to be baptized and then boom baptismal date!!!!
Wednesday- Was the best zone conference with everyone!! I got to do some instruction and it went till 4 but it was so good! We got thrown down on by president and it was pretty great. It was just a really inspiring meeting you just should have been there!! I wanted to film it!! There are pictures of it on facebook #ldsraleighmissionshared!! Haha it was great and then that night I went to Leland and I got to interview Nancy for baptism. It went great and it took an hour and a half but it was great to see how prepared she is and how the lord has really touched her heart with the spirit! She had a dream and that was what confirmed that the Book of Mormon is true and it was just an amazing story to hear!!
Thursday- busiest day ever, we taught like 20 lessons!! It was crazy but the lord really helped soften the heart of this guy named Alex. He really listened to us and what we taught and then was like yea I need to read the Book of Mormon!! It was so great! Then i got to interview 4 of the Congolese for baptism and it was all translated for me and again and it was so great to see their faith and all they have done to prepare for it!! Just an amazing experience to see!! I have just been doing tons of interviews and it has been so inspiring!
Friday- Not sure... my memory escapes me.. LOL!!!
Saturday- went to the baptism for the Congolese it was a fabulous!! We even got manly to go with us! He thought it was so cool and it was!!!! Everything was in Swahili and they sang to us it was just so touching!! We then contacted Paul and Paul is the man, he looks like he ate a watermelon whole it is so great He is so prepared for the gospel and we taught him the restoration. He was like I know its true and then we invited him to live the word of wisdom and he committed and then next thing you know we are setting a baptismal date with him it was crazy!! We also taught manly that night and he really opened up and we were able to really commit him to read and brother Wilson was with us and it was just a great lesson!!
Sunday- well it was the super bowl thats all about I have to say but we met with Paul again and it went great! He is just so ready and really loves us coming and everything we are teaching him!
