The wondrous and fantastic Elder Auston T. Vance, missionary of the LDS church…
Now presents this week……
Monday.
p-day, was normal-ish. We went shopping at Wal-Mart and got a few things and
did our laundry and played a little basketball at the church.
Tuesday.
We found out that the area that our zone leaders were serving in, got white
washed (where both missionary's get transferred to somewhere else for certain
reasons) Elder Rigby was appointed as assistant to the mission president and
Elder Neilson was transferred to another place because he only has a few weeks
left on his mission. So we got two new zone leaders who are not in any
way familiar with the zone or the area that they are serving in. They
seem really nice and I have gone on an exchange with one of them already.
Wednesday. We new we had zone
meeting the next day, so we went up to Clarinda and spent the night with some
of the elders who lived up there.
Thursday. We had zone meeting all day up is Sioux City,
which is about 3 or so hours drive away from our apartment. We had to
fast that morning and we were super hungry and for lunch they served us bread
bowls with soup in them. We had a very spiritual lessons and teachings that
day. After the meeting our zone leaders found out that we had a temple
trip the next day, so we had to spend the night at another elders apartment
again. It would have been to hazard for
us to drive all the way to Shenandoah and back.
Friday.
We had an awesome temple trip and did endowments and watched the new movie
(Elder smith was seeing it for the first time). It was super great and very
spiritual in the celestial room, all of the elders were hugging each other and
really feeling the spirit strong. After that, we headed home.
Saturday. We finally got home it was so nice to get to
sleep on an actual bed and not the floor, which felt great by the way, We
resumed the usual things with our area in teaching and visiting members and
less active members. The greatest thing was that we had another baptism
that day. Kyle (the person we baptized
before that I was telling you about) baptized his mom. It was super cool
seeing someone who was baptized a few weeks before baptize his mom.
Sunday. It was church and testimony meeting. I
didn’t get the chance to bear my testimony because a lot of people were giving
around 10 minute talks. I was really
ready and feeling like I should.
So
that is my week….
Love
you lots and lots,
Love Elder Vance
