Hey guys! This week was busy but good!
On Tuesday, we had some super awesome lessons! We are helping our new members grow more in the gospel.
On Wednesday, we did a ton of door knocking on people we had records for. We had some very interesting conversations. One lady said she was a trained killer and married to a terrorists. I think she was mentally not all there. We also had a guy answer and he was soooo high! It was crazy! We smelled the weed as soon as he opened the door. We laughed so hard afterwards because he was just so funny!
On Thursday, we met up with the sisters to drive over to Medford for Zone Conference. Zone conference was good! President made some interesting changes to the mission. For transfers, we will no longer know where we are going and with who until it actually happens. President is trying to prevent rumors and preconceptions of areas and people. So definitely interesting. I'm curious to see how transfers go. He also moved District council to Monday nights after pday. Pday ends at 6pm and DC starts at 6pm. DC was usually on Fridays. I think President is trying to make our days more productive and efficient. We stopped at chickfila on the way home.
Friday was the last District council and NMT. We did a scavenger hunt for NMT and everyone liked it! We visited with a few people and had awesome lessons! We also started doing ministering calls with all the missionaries in the zone. So we had a really funny and good call with one set of elders. They said we were the favorite STLs, so thats good to hear!
Conference weekend was crazy. We went to our bishops house for breakfast on Saturday and we watched the first session. Then we did some planning, then went to a new members house for lunch and the 2nd session. She is so sweet! We weekly planned, then watched the last session at a returning members house! We then taugh an awesome first lesson of the restoration with a lady!
On Sunday, we went to a members house who have cute kids! They made an awesome breakfast and we watched conference on their projector. We came home for a minute to do some contacting, then went to a members house for lunch and the last session. It was so fun! We went to another members house for a lesson and they gave us a freshly baked loaf of bread. Then we went to dinner with a returning family. They have 3 little kids who are adorable! They told us they are working on going to the temple to be sealed!! It is awesome that they are working on something so important!
The weather has been a little all over the place! We had a snowstorm this week as well as a day in the 70s. I never know what its gonna be like!
Hope you all had a chance to watch General Conference! If you didn't, I invite you to listen to it! Hope you all have a fantastic week!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
