Monday We are back at it again. Let’s get to it.
Last pday was solid I guess. ha ha! We had a chill activity where we just played some Zone bonding games to start off the transfer. It was good to get to know the zone members a bit more. We did go hit up this huge Christ Cathedral. Its a massive Catholic church building, and it was really cool to tour. It’s very pretty, but something is missing for sure. Maybe the Priesthood?
idk.
Tuesday was nuts. We got to do to a service in the morning with the sisters that we share a ward with. It was pretty fun! It’s a food drive place and we got to pack up bread and organize things. It was pretty chill. Then we had to run to MLC which was mad, boring and long. We also got ANOTHER new rule for the mission. We aren’t able to have our zone activities every week anymore. This rule is common for other missions, but because we are so small we can do them each week. However, Pressy said “nah” to that. So, it’s super tough and it lowkey feels like all of the things missionaries love are just slowly being taken away. It’s so sad. tbh. But, I leave soon so it doesn’t affect me much. lol.
Wednesday was good! We had Zone Conference and I got to do something pretty unique. This was the first zone conference where President asked a Zone leader to conduct all of Zone Conference events and he asked me! So that was fun to participate in ZC in a unique way.
We had a dinner with the Rizzo family and then we had our Stake meeting with the Stake President, which went smooth. The President trained was about the power of the BOM, and that really stuck out to me! The BOM is the best fr.
Lowkey the rest of the week was really rough. Because Tuesday and Wednesday were so slammed, we never got to do our “Weekly Planning” which messed up our week so badly. It made everything so hard and made the week feel really long tbh. We were struggling to find and teach cause our most progressing friends got either sick or needed a break. Smh. My comp and were struggling to make it to the end of everyday. I know it’s just the Adversary trying to get me down. It’s been SO tough. However, I don’t wanna end on that so let’s focus on some highlights!
My boy Bos is back from his mission, which is so dope. Love you DJB. Mini me’s is coming soon fr.
There were some ET’s in the zone. There was a missionary who was really struggling and had to end their mission early. The night before this missionary left we got a text at 10:00 pm asking us to give him a blessing. We called the President to get approval and he said, Yes. We drove over to their apartment and the spirit was so strong while giving that blessing. I genuinely was so grateful for that missionary and the desire to receive a blessing. Because, it strengthened my testimony of the Priesthood for sure. We got back pretty late but it was worth every second of it.
I got to be apart of confirming Robert, who was a baptism the sisters had!
We had a fireside for all of the RC’s in the Stake and it was really fun!
Some dude gave us a Quran lol
Did another meal swap with the sisters! Good Times!
Lowkey that’s about it!
My spiritual thought is just the fact that the Priesthood is so powerful! It is so cool that the Priesthood can be here on the earth to do things like blessings, confirmations, the sacrament, baptism, sealings, and so much more! I truly love the Priesthood and I know that it’s real!
Love yall
