update on how things are going for me and my companion, Elder
Anderson, here in the Colorado Fort Collins Mission. Unfortunately,
I'm going to have to keep this faster than normal, as today has a lot
going on. Tomorrow is Transfer Day, and while no one in our District
is actually leaving (except for Elder Noh), we still have to get all
packed up, as we are now moving houses, and going to stay at a
different member's house. So, along with cleaning and getting our
groceries, we also have to get everything packed up and moved to that
new house. So, with that said, without further-ado, let's go through
the week!
So, Tuesday was a pretty nice day, all things considered. Along with
our usual District Leader Council on Tuesdays, we also had exchanges
with the District Leaders, as well. This had been an event five weeks
in the making, and we had repeatedly missed out on the exchange.
Finally, we were able to go on it with Elder Noh coming to my area. It
was nice to spend the exchange with Elder Noh and see how far he'd
come from our MTC days. It was also great to see him teach. We had a
chance to teach an investigator couple that we've been trying (and
failing) to meet for the last few weeks, and we were actually able to
teach a pretty decent lesson on the Restoration between the two of us.
Wednesday was a nice day, even with me having to teach the training at
District Meeting. We managed to find this less-active/part-member
family, the Salmonds (your guess is as good as mine with the
pronunciation) that we've been trying to meet with for a while. We ran
across them really on accident, as we had been trying to meet this
other less-active, and it turned out that they had moved out of their
house and the Salmonds had moved in, and neither record had been
updated. Still, it all worked out in the end, as it allowed us a
chance to meet with them and share a quick spiritual message with them
and invite them to church.
Thursday was interesting, as we ended up going on exchanges again.
This time, however, we were doing our exchanges with the other
missionaries in my area (the Harmony Elders, Elder Christenot and
Chan). I went with Elder Christenot to his area in Harmony and helped
him out with the work there. We taught a less-active/part-member
family he and Elder Chan had been teaching, which went well...in spite
of the three kids bouncing off the walls the entire time.
Unfortunately, that was all we did work-wise, as their dinner (who was
supposed to drop off dinner at their house at 6) didn't show up until
about 7:30. Still, it was a pretty nice exchange, and gave me a better
idea of how things are going for my fellow elders.
Friday was pretty bland, as it was pretty much just spent planning for
the week ahead and getting our week all filled out. Saturday, however,
was much more interesting, as we were helping a member move from their
old house to a new one across the city. We had supposed the service
would only last a couple of hours, and then we'd be done and on our
way. Unfortunately, that was not how it went at all. There was a LOT
more to move than we first thought, and so rather than the service
lasting two hours, we ended up being there for about SEVEN hours...and
when we left, they still weren't done yet. Still, it was a nice
service opportunity, and I enjoyed it.
So, yeah, that was my week. Sorry there isn't a spiritual thought this
week. Like I said before, we've got a lot on our schedules today that
needs to get done. But I promise! Next week, I'll have a great message
for all of you! Until then, have a great week, and stay epic, my
friends! Ciao!
—Elder Z.S.Weber
