hmmmm yeah I like that title, it
has a ring to it.
This week was good, transfers will be gotten to......
Starting at the beginning, we
had, well..... I am drawing a blank for the beginning of the week. I think cause
the frustration others cause in our lessons. We were teaching an investigator
to pray (this was the second time since he didn't get it the first time) Well
this time he was ready (as it seemed) so we reminded him of the steps, then he
started na tamada vakalomalagi o Jisu (face palm) We noticed that right off, so
we stayed quiet let him finish, and were about to reschedule to come back (which
we would have gone over it again) but then his (member) son said hey nomu masu
cala..... I sat there thinking no please don't criticize him...... Well the
next lesson he blamed us for making fun of him, so a 50 year-old man was giving
us the silent treatment. Well he forgave us 2 days later (his wife told us) and
we have yet to return.......
Frustrating.... it is because
people criticize others that the church is hindered. To be completely honest
the church is perfect, but it is filled with imperfect members. Yes we all make
mistakes, but at least think it so that you don't push someone away.....
Anyways we have been planning a
fireside to help the members understand this purpose. We sat planning (I sat
quietly for the longest time as usual) about 45 minutes in after they have gotten their idea, I finally throw out one idea, and their whole plan was thrown out
the window. We decided to do Jeopardy. We had a topic, so we decided categories,
and what we would do. Hindi elders took the categories home and church, we took
public and work. I was to be the host, them the judges. (picture before
the start) It was the members' favorite fireside of all time. They liked
it more than the Christmas party they had last year...... It was way funny
cause we mocked around (well the judges did so). We had Elder Reeder give us on
scene reports, asked people how they felt and all manner of stuff. Then when
they were to judge an answer (role play) At the same time they would place on
their glasses, and start discussing secretly..... (way funny cause the members
called them shady judges) It was a close game too.....
As for the big news, sorry I
could not hide it. I was way too lazy to make it a secret written within. E.
Pence is going to Tavuni (the bush) My new comp will be E. R. Johnson (cause
there is 3 johnsons in the mission) E. Painter (the previous ZL) is new AP, S.
Au (2nd sisters) is leaving, and S. Wright (she has a blog) is replacing
S. Au, and will be in my district, so if you want another blog to read of
someone near by, I am pretty sure she has one. Until next week!
