Week 85. Week of Meetings

 Lots of meetings this week but it was still good. Also just wanted to make a disclaimer: even though I only talk about lessons with Mos, we are teaching other people, they just happen to be weekly and not as funny so it doesn't make it on here. So without further ado, here are the highlights: 

Relief society activities - being a missionary is awesome because it means you can still go to RS activities even though you're a guy. We painted some pots and now I'm growing a plant. Hopefully it actually grows

Zone Conf - it was pretty cool. Our portions went really well and they talked about Holy week and that was super interesting. 

Blitz - we had a goal as a zone to go out and talk with as many people as possible in an hour and it was super fun. We talked with lots of people at stores and I even had one of the store employees ask me if I worked there

MLC - right after the blitz we went to another meeting. It was super great because we made a goal as a whole mission together and hyped us up. 

Mos - so the weekly update on Mos, this one will be short. He read Doctrine and Covenants 89, about the Word of Wisdom, and had questions. So we taught him, explained how we couldn't have tea and coffee ("hot drinks") and asked if he'd be willing to do that. He said yes, which was actually super cool. And then he asked why we could drink soup when that's a hot drink, so that was fun

Shoreview - I went on an exchanges with Elder Taylor. He's a stud. When we exchanged back they had us come to their member dinner with Sister krabs. A 99 year old lady who is super spry in mind and body, she was great. Pic below

Kat - doing normal p day activities and then around 3:30 we get a call from Kat telling us her mom just texted and said if she got baptized they might disown her. We went over, she was at the Institute, we gave her a blessing and then hung out to help her not over worry and have a panic attack. Then that night she called again to tell us that she had the thought to read the Book of Mormon even tho she wasn't sure she'd find something to help her. She was in chapter 20 of Alma. It's about king Lamoni's father not being happy about his son's conversion. And gave him an ultimatum too. In the end, God helps them and he is converted too. 

She was so happy after reading that because she knew that God is aware of her situation and that He'll get her through it. 

Spiritual thought - just to add on my testimony, I know God knows each of our struggles and situations. And is trying so hard to help us everyday, and if we trust in Him, He will take care of us. 

I love y'all here are the pics
