Week 59...9/21/15...DL meeting, The Round of Rescue; The Restoration

Alrighty, so this week was a blast and another crazy week like always. We started the week in Reu with our District Leader meeting, It was awesome! We really needed to changes somethings as a mission and it was the perfect way to start. I felt like I gave a really good lesson in our District Meeting on Thursday. Well, at least I thought it was good as just studying for it changed my life that's for sure. I just hope someone in my District learned something from it! Monday night I roomed with Elder Hill it was great to catch up with him.  He's doing great and I'm pretty sure in these next weeks he's going to be moved up to be a Zone Leader. We had an awesome meeting on Tuesday with Presidente Ruiz, it was only supposed to be from 8-9:30 but we ended it at like 1! The spirit was so strong and I learned so much!

On Wednesday we went to see a baptism for the Zone Leaders because they've been working with this family forever! It was scheduled for 6 but the Lawyer didn't get there till 8 so we had to leave even before they got baptized for our Correlation Meeting at 8. It was awesome to see how much the gospel had changed their lives. We sang Families Can be Together Forever and it was just so amazing!

We're working on a project called Family of Gold, we were looking for a Golden family reference from the members. We've had a bunch of lessons with the members to try to inspire their missionary spirit! But we still haven't found the family yet. However, yesterday on divisions with the members I went to visit with Sandra and she accepted to get baptized this SATURDAY!!!! I was sooo happy for her! I know our Heavenly Father is even happier than we are.

We found an awesome family this week! A guy named Edgar and his wife and 3 kids that live with him. He has like 7 but 3 live in the states. He says he doesn't go to any church because he believes that any of them have the truth. But we gave him a Book of Mormon and testified of the truth and his eyes lit up. They study the bible as a family every Saturday and keep all of the commandments! They are soooo prepared the only thing is that he is very well versed in the Bible and likes to pull out lots of little details. We try to stick to just testifying and the Book of Mormon so he doesn't get too side tracked from our basic message. But it's been awesome! I just really hope that his desire to learn the truth is stronger than his detailed-oriented search.

Saturday we had an activity planned for 6pm. A play called The Round of Rescue; The Restoration. Basically. It's a play of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The office was going to come to help us practice at 1 but surprise surprise they didn't make it there till 5:15 so we had like 45 minutes to assign parts, get one practice in, and then the real deal. They assigned me to be Joseph smith and I'm not sure how but by some miracle I ended up memorizing like 4 verses of Joseph Smith History in like 45 minutes. It actually was a great show! We probably had like 300 people there in attendance so it was awesome!  But that was about it for the week! life has been good!
