We Didn't Start the Fire 3/22/2022

 This past week went well and there were definitely some highlights. 

 

District council was a bit different this week. We had the opportunity to learn more about the family tree app and see how we were all related, then we learned how to teach others about family history and family search. This upcoming week we are supposed to help some investigators do their own family history which should be fun.

 

I had the opportunity to go on exchanges with Elder Tuckett in his area on Wednesday which was a good time. We taught an inactive member family in their ward and got them to open up to us by talking a lot about board games, video games, and movies so hopefully, the Elders will keep meeting with them and get them back to church.

 

Remi has started taking the lessons from us and both ones we had with a member present went so well. They've been by far the most spiritual lessons I've had on the mission and afterwards both times she has said she could feel the Spirit testify of the powerful things we were teaching.

 

We also had interviews with President Richards this week which is always nice. It lets us share where we are at as missionaries and he gives us great advice on how we can improve and do better.

 

We had our first zone pday which was a blast. We all got together along with the APs and President and Sister Richards to play volleyball at the stake center. It was awesome to play volleyball again with a large group and get to know the other missionaries a whole lot better. Hopefully, we get to do more zone activities in the future.

 

That's all for now, I'm glad I get to be out here as a missionary serving the Lord and spreading the joy that comes with the restored gospel.
