I had a good week! We keep finding new investigators but nobody
super solid! We do have 2 solid people that we are starting to work
with! They are both referrals from the ward and hopefully we can get
things going with them! Like I have said before we have been receiving
tons of referrals from ward members and from other elders and with being
so busy we haven't been able to visit them! This week we are trying to visit old investigators to see if they want to meet
or not! Then we are focusing on our referrals! I have been doing a lot
of administrative stuff and it has kept me very busy! Sometimes I doubt
I'm doing a good job as a leader but recently I have been studying
teaching in the Saviors way manual and it has helped a ton! I love the
opportunity to effectively lead and do it as the Savior would! Studying
the manual has helped me reach out to my district more and lift them up
and by doing so it has lifted me! The work continues to move forward! This week we had a mission leadership council with all the zone leaders
and sister training leaders at the mission home! There, President and
sister Mendenhall the Ap's and a set of zone leaders trained on things
that they want us to train on in district meetings! Also for an hour we
discussed new changes that will be taking place, such as the new mission
president and his wife coming in! And an accounting matter concerning the
Goal Barrier and Action plan the district leader comes up with every
week! It is now moving from a group setting to an individual
companionship setting so that the comp. can set goals and make plans to
help the work in their own area! I like it way better than the previous
one. Reasons why.....because now instead of the district leader
analyzing problems from 3 companionship's and trying to make a plan that
combines all 3 problems together, he gets to let the companionship
decide what action plans will work for their individual area! It will be
more effective than trying to please all companionships. Sorry if that
seems confusing but that was the best way I could condense it which I'm
not so good at!
Other than that, that is the
work going on in the CDNM! This Friday is the convert fireside and I'm
in 3 musical numbers either playing or singing! I feel like I'm stealing
all the attention and I don't like it! They need to get more musically
capable people to join! I'm singing a beautiful duet with someone and we
have practiced it already and it sounds amazing! You would be
impressed! Sorry trying to be as humble as I can! But I wish you could
hear it! I'm going to have Elder Heiner record it on my camera but the
audio will be stinky!
Next week I along with
the zone and the AP's will be hiking castlewood canyon in our area! its a
beautiful hike and I'm excited to hike it! On a side note I know this
is out of the blue but the mission is now accepting buzz cuts for hair
cuts and the elders are trying to convince me to get a buzz! I keep
saying I never will but I might to make you guys go crazy! I'd look good
right hahahahaha! Anyway that's been my week! very busy all the time but
keeping me on my toes and teaching me to organize myself and be more
responsible which I need desperately!
I love you Mom and Dad and I hope to hear from you soon!
