Another week and a lot of finding! On Monday we had a normal p-day for the most
part. We played some soccer, or football
as they call it here. Then we were able
to go and do some service for a family in the ward. We cleaned up their wood shop. By the evening I wasn’t feeling that
good. Felt even worse on Tuesday morning
with a fever, sore throat and headache, but following study time we headed out
and did a little street contacting. I
got some Cold and Flu Relieve and headed back to the apartment for lunch and a
nap, hoping that would help. We had an
appointment at 1:30, but he cancelled, so we headed back to the flat and I
slept most of the rest of the day. By
morning the fever was lower, I was feeling somewhat better, and so we headed to
the neighboring town for some appointments we had set up there. I wasn’t going to just stay in the flat again
that day and miss the lessons.
Wednesday we headed back to the neighboring area for some other
appointments. We were happy to hear one
of the guys we had been working with had gotten a new job and was planning to
come back to church soon. The new family
we were planning to meet had something come up, but we are hopeful we will be
able to catch them this week.
District meeting on Thursday, so a day of traveling to and
from meetings. And three of us Elders
were not feeling that good as we spent the day traveling. We have one District Leader and two Zone
Leaders for the area. Each transfer we
have at least 2 splits with the District Leader.
The District Leader will spend time with each companion separately. The other companion spends the time working with the
District Leader’s companion.
Since there are two Zone Leaders, our companionship just splits and one
with each of the Zone Leaders. Occasionally
the Zone Leader will go with the companionship to see how they work together as
a companionship. Usually have one or two
Zone Leader splits per transfer. The
workovers are for 24 hours. They will
start following morning studies and go 24 hours until after the morning study. A chance to see all aspects of the missionary’s
day.
Saturday was mostly a day of tracting. When tracting door after door you have a lot
of time to just think about life and such.
It can be a pretty long mental day, but I love it. Sunday as we were headed to church a member
called and asked if I could teach the Priesthood lesson as he was sick. I said sure.
Luckily it was on a General Conference talk that I heard a few
times. Then out for some more tracting
before dinner with a family in the ward.
This Monday we were invited to go to the air force base as
one of the members was being promoted to Major.
He has some friends he wanted us to meet. It was cool to see it and go through the main
building of the base where they are stationed.
A little bored last night and looked up Island Park on the
GPS.
With one gentleman of another faith this week, we were able to share some basic beliefs. In trying to explain how the Holy Ghost can influence those who are seeking the truth and how the Holy Ghost can become a constant companion following baptism and confirmation. And also share my testimony of the need for living prophets and apostles to lead and guide His church on this earth today.
Love, Elder Stevenson
