On Tuesday we had to do some planning we finished a big plan we had to make so we could get our 3 baptisms by the end of the year and then we had to call all of our teams about their plans they made and to talk about how we could improve them so that we can be better prepared to hit this goal! So that was fun then we had to get flu shots so we did that. The first zone done got a free lunch but we lost by 3 hours unfortunately, but ya got that shot again, but this time I did not get sick then we stopped by a bunch of people and we went to dinner with a newer family in the ward and it was good they just moved from Colorado they are cool it was a good dinner! Then we went to institute and I always just love going to institute it is so much fun because we get to learn and we help out as well so that is good! On wednesday in the morning we went out and were biking around trying to see people and it got cooler her this week. It didn't get above 65 this week so it was a little chilly at first biking, but then I started to sweat so it wasn't bad but ya we then we went back home walked the huge hill and had lunch we don't have a ton of food because it is the end of the month so we had a ton of rice left and chicken so for that day we finished off the rest of our pasta so all we had left was rice and chicken so that was all we ate the rest of the week for lunch and dinner! But ya then we went back out to work we went onto campus and walked around and then tried to see a bunch of people around campus then back to the apt for dinner. Then we had more stop bys and we went to play basketball and that was fun as usual so ya that was good!
On Thursday we had some calls in the morning and then we took off to go and exchange with some elders about 30 miles away so we met them in their area and had lunch then I took off back to our area with Elder Anderson from Mesa, Arizona and we had a good exchange we did some stop bys and then we had to help someone move we got a ride there because they lived like 45 mins out so we went here and packed up their truck and then we came back and helped unpack at the new house for a bit and then we started to leave with our ride because we had an appt, but then they cancelled so we got out of the car and walked back to the house to finish unpacking and we finished and had dinner with them. It was good. Then we went and changed and went to an appt with a blind less active guy in our ward. It went well> We talked all about the atonement and how he can share that with others! It was a good day and a good exchange with Elder Anderson!
Friday was awesome! So at first we had zone interviews. So we left at 8 for Elder Anderson's area where interviews were being held. Then to the church there to set up the building and we did that. Then the interviews started so teams just kind of come as their time comes up for their interview. So one of our DLs gave a training during the first half and then we did a training and it was on the fly because we didn't have a ton of warning, but it went well, i think. Then we did role playing with this elder who is struggling to talk with people in lessons. Then we had an interview with President together about the zone and that was great! Then I had my personal interview and it was good as well. I love President Forbes. Then what makes the day awesome is we went on an exchange with the assistants and one of the APs is my first comp so we got to go on an exchange together and that was lots of fun we had lunch and then had some appt with some less active and it was just super awesome. It was good to be with him again he is definitely my favorite comp of my mission so far. It was a great day for sure!
Then Saturday Conference started and it was amazing in the first session I wrote down some general questions I had before it started and in the first talk I got some answers to alot of them. It was awesome! Conference can be such a revelatory experience if you let it be for yourself, but it was great my favorite talk of the whole conference was in the 1st session by Larry R Lawrence about the Spirit and he challenged all to ask God what we needed to do to progress. So I did that that night and didn't get an answer right away, but then I was praying again Sunday night and got my answer and it was great. It is an amazing thing to ask God what you need to do to progress because if you really want to know he will let you know!
Sunday was great as well lots of great talks and just a great day then we had dinner with a super cool family so that was good and we went and saw a less active guy and it was a good lesson we watched Elder Renlund's talk with him. Who on a side note I have met in person! So that is cool! Ya it was a great week. Watching conference was fantastic it really strengthened my testimony that we have prophets on the earth today and they are here to lead and guide us and show us the way! It is an amazing thing to hear them speak. They speak great words of wisdom that can help us grow if we let them help us grow. It is awesome. Well hope all is well for everybody. That is all this week till next week.
Love
Elder Howe
