The big news this week is that our mission is combining with the Pittsburgh mission on July 1. The mission office is in Pittsburgh so I might get to go to Pittsburg a time or two. Other than that we didn't have too great of a week cuz we pretty much only had 4 days of work with Zone conference and General Conf. Now onto my week
Mon-Just hung around and wrote some letters. Then Pres. Harrington came and picked us up and we went and saw a few of the members of the branch. Then we came back and tracted for a bit, and then washed the truck for zone conf.
Tue-We drove to Scranton for Zone conf. and it was really good!! It was exciting to find out about our new mission, and how we are gonna get to meet a whole new set of missionaries. I just hope the changes aren't too drastic. We got an extra 100 miles cuz our truck was so clean. YES!! We definitely needed those. After Zone conf. we had interviews which were fun as usual.
Wed.-We just did lots of tracting with no success which was a bummer. Then the Jandas came and picked us up and we had dinner at their house. Then Bro. Janda went with us to see Donna C. and we had a good lesson with her.
Thur-We went over to the Liggetts house and helped do some painting and stuff. Then we tracted in the afternoon with no luck again...I told you this was a bummer week. Then that night we went to the Matthews house and watched a good movie with them about the temple called "Between Heaven and Earth" it's sooo good.
Fri-After lunch we went out to Choconut and tracted for a bit then we went and saw the Bryants and Courtney and had a good discussion with her. After dinner we went and had a lesson with Irish and Sarah.
Sat-It was General Conf. It was sooo good!! My favorite talks of saturday were by Elder Richard G. Scott, who talked about temples and Pres. Uchtdord during Priesthood. Oh man, I love general conf.
Sun-More conf. There were so many good talks!! My favorites were Elder Holland's talk on the atonement, and pres. Monson's talk on focusing on blessings!! The spirit was so strong that is for sure. After conf we went to Randy and Suzanne Bells house and had dinner with them and their whoooole family that consists of like half of the branch. Then we had a lesson with them which went really well.
So that was my week!! The grass and trees are all turning green!! Summer is right around the corner, I can't wait!! My 7th transfer is half over, I can't believe that. But know all is well everybody!! I love you all! SWEET IS THE WORK AND GREAT IS THE GLORY!!
love
