Hello All,
So this week was just plain weird and very exciting.
On Monday we went to the Kanesville Elders apartment and hung out with them for p-day. We found out that they had 10 pieces of foot-long small pvc pipes. So we got there and we asked them what the pipe was for and they showed us by blowing the Nerf sticky darts at us really hard using. They continued to demonstrated on us and they shot very hard. It hurt alot!!! So… then it was open war between the four of us for about 2 hours. I got shot in the butt, ear, nose, cheek, forehead, back, and teeth, and pretty much everywhere else on my body. P-day or should we have called it Nurf war day!
During the week we went out for
visits. We try to schedule out who we
want to see and meet with. We teach lessons
about things that come to us through the spirit. There is no order, we just know what to teach
them when we are planning for the day.
On Friday, we had the
most interesting food we have had yet. We
were at a less active members home. It
was warmed soft tortilla shell with a square piece of cheese in the center of
it and a piece of breaded chicken that was cooked put in the middle of the
tortilla and then covered in a very good sauce. It was soooo goooood! Then
we watched the testaments with them and made the husband cry. It was very
spiritual moment. He is not a
member.
Saturday was a normal
day for the most part we did service projects most of the day and drop-in
visists on less active members to see if they needed any thing. Right before
bed, we decided to try out some of the
more advanced functions on my camera.
My companion did swan dives onto
his bed and I took a 60 frame per second picture of him and it looked like he
was in slow motion, it was pretty awesome.
Sunday. We had a
new investigator come to church all by him self and we haven't even met him
yet. We taught Gospel principles class that day. My companion has been playing a joke on two
of the sisters in our ward making them think he is really from Australia and
not from Utah. So in an Australia accent
he attempted to teach Gospel Doctrine.
During the lesson this new investigator told my companion that he was a
very beautiful man and his accent was awesome and that he should be a movie star.
!???! Not sure why but we had a great
lesson.
FYI_I am healthy and
feeling great. I am writing a paper
about the Atonement and need some ideas.
Would you ALL share
your thoughts with me?
So that was my week
with a lot of service and visits in between!!!
Tell Preston nice job
for loosing so much weight!! Keep up the great work!
Love Elder Vance
Thank you Mom and Dad
for everything that you do for me.
Love,
