It's been quite an adventure this week!
We had our last district meeting of the transfer on
Wednesday, which officially made it feel like it came to an end. But it flew by
I tell ya.
We got transfer news this Sunday. Me and Elder Darner are
both staying another transfer in Fairfield! I felt good about it because I
still feel like I have a lot of things to do here. I don't know how Elder
Darner feels about it, I think he's happy. I think he just doesn't know how to feel
about it because it's his first area. I'm just gonna assume he's happy with
it.
This last Thursday was pretty unique. The stake hosted a
dinner and trunk or treat in browning so we got invited to that. In fact, the
whole zone went! It was huge! They advertised it in the newspaper, schools,
radio, etc. We just set up a huge chili dinner that was big enough to feed 600
people and candy to go with it all. I was one of the street recruiters, which
means I ran around outside pulling them in. Browning is a reservation so the
people are a little more laid back so we could go grab random people and they
would be like, cool, I like chili. We had a pretty cool miracle with one of the
guys we brought in. When he told us his last name one of the missionaries then pircked
up and asked if he knew another guy from Missoula. Then the guy he asked goes,
that's my brother! This missionary knew his brother and even baptized him. It
was a crazy story, and now the guy set up a time to visit with the browning
elders. You never know! So we brought in around 500 people. We handed out
70-100 copies of the Book of Mormon and invited pretty much everyone to church,
we will have to see how many actually come! But it was such a blast. I haven't
been able to talk to that many people in a long time. Fairfield is great, but
the same faces get pretty old. So this was a refreshing experience.
On Friday the next day we had some fun too. We had another
Halloween event. Except this time it was at the Sunriver church and was just a
small community chili cook off. I'm sick
of chili by the way cause we had it for dinner on Tuesday a couple of days
before our browning trip. But it was a good opportunity to meet lots of people
that weren't members. We were judges for the chili and cornbread too lol. But
we got to hand out candy at the trunk or treat so that was a blast. Not much
else exciting about that though.
The rest of the week was just regular work though. It's
moving forward, just at a really slow pace. I want to teach more people but
it's hard to find them! So, we will continue on. People are out there and we
are gonna get them one way or another! I have to admit that this area has
really been pretty tough. It's been good for me though. It's like they say,
there is no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone.
Well, that's all for this week. But I hope you all know that
I know that this Gods work. He's behind all of it making it happen. It's fun to
be a part of! I hope your week goes great, I love and miss you all!
