Yiiiikes those are some big numbers... Week 80 and 81...oof.
I think I'll just make a quick bullet list of some of the
stuff we have done.
- Made pretzels with one of our DLs
- Learned how to forehand throw a Frisbee
- Started writing another song
- Hiked to the top of the tallest 'mountain' in the world
that has no trees. (at least that's what we are told)
- Watched Saturdays Warrior for the 145726194th time (the
pickings are slim here)
- Got carne asada y chorizo from a member in our ward (it
was soooo good. Gave me flashbacks to pasco)
- Discovered Sonic cream slushys
- We did the potatoes again and oh boy were we sore
- Did another presentation at Zone conferences
Now for the important stuff, all the missions in our area
(North West) got invited to repent by the area authorities and an apostle or
two. They want us all to refocus on the work because some have gotten very
distracted. After the MLC where we got that instruction, Elder Newton and I
started a new thing in our Zone called Operation Dedication.
Basically this thing includes: a weekly proselyting hour
goal, better planning, more zone unity, and doing things to raise our
faith.
To kick it off we did a training for the Zone then we asked
a member in our ward to help make little breakfast bags for the whole zone.
Then last Monday morning we visited every apartment and kicked off operation
Dedication!
It went super well, we are so proud of everyone in our zone
for working super hard even though the sircumstances aren't ideal.
Happy mothers day to all the moms out there. Especially my
grandmas and my mom ❤️ I'm grateful for all the
things that my mom has taught me about life. On the mission I've been able to
appreciate the importance of having a mom that is able to teach her children.
Some people I have met haven't been as fortunate.
Les quiero,
Elder Thompson
