Soo the World
Series is probably the coolest thing ever. I wish so bad that I could watch it!
But hey if it goes game 7 it might be on Halloween and we have that night off
so maybe president would let us watch it :)
Today has already been a long day but
something pretty cool happened this morning. So I woke up at like 4:00 in the
morning and my whole body just ached like crazy and I felt awful for the rest
of the morning. Then we all got up and went to the gym and I just laid on the
ground cause I felt like I was going to die. Then Elder Johnson and Elder
Anderson came over to do a few things and I asked them and the elders that I
live with to give me a blessing cause I really didn’t want to spend the rest of
the day throwing up and that was definitely the way I felt it was headed. The
second that Elder Wunderli finished giving me a blessing I felt a thousand
times better. I definitely don’t have any plans to do anything too crazy today,
but it was amazing to me to see the power of the priesthood help me out so much
so quickly.
This has nothing to do with
anything, but we just got a call from some awesome missionaries in our mission
and they were freaking out cause one of their brothers bought them tickets to
the World Series game that’s tonight. I didn’t think they would get to go but
president said it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and their good to go. I
am so dang jealous!! How many people can say they got to go to a World Series
game on their missions? Lucky dogs. We told them they better take some sweet
pictures to send us. That’s going to be the coolest thing ever for them.
We had a really busy week this
week just like normal and it was a ton of fun. We finished interviews with
the last couple zones and were glad to have those done with. Then we had
MLC on Friday.
It was a good and bad meeting at the same time. We gathered up all of our total
numbers for October and they were awful. We got 20 baptisms this month. The
worst month that we have had this year up until this point was 31. So we really
fell behind. To reach our goal of 450 we need about 47 per month for the rest
of the year. It’s going to be a stretch but since that meeting we
have already seen miracles start to happen to get us towards our goal. We
are fasting every Sunday
in November so hopefully that gives us a head start as well.
Saturday we went up to Springfield and had our
exchange up there. Then Sunday
we came back down for Stake conference. Stake conference was great and I have
had the opportunity to go to a few this year and they have all had the same
themes. Everyone talks about temple work and missionary work. The push for
these two subjects is amazing. The temple president spoke on Sunday and it was
so cool to get to see how much he loves the temple and how much it means
to him.
I
love this gospel and how much it blesses our lives. I am so thankful for
all of the things that I know that make us happier and bring more peace
into our lives. I love teaching other people about it! We’re
transfer planning all week and hopefully we have some time at night to do
some tracting in our area. We want to find someone to teach so bad!! But
ya, it’s going to be another good, busy week. Happy Halloween and I’ll
talk to you again soon.
