Well I have just finished my first transfer so that is exciting! One down and many to go haha. But it's all good because I am now not the newest one in the mish. There will be newbies flying in today so that's pretty dope. They will be having the same feelings that I had when I first landed, like, "what am I doing here??" But it's all good I think after six weeks I have figured out why I am here haha. I better hope so.
Just like usual we have been teaching quite a lot of people this past week. Still can't really remember them all just because there are so many! Which is a good thing. On Tuesday we had zone conference for my zone and the zone above my zone. We talked a lot about service and how we should conduct service and how we should find more service opportunities in our daily missionary lives. President also talked a lot about how we need to find service opportunities where we are not just trying to serve them to teach them. He told us that we should find service opportunities to serve people because we genuinely want to serve these people rather than just serving them because we want to maybe set up a return appointment to teach them. That was the main point from zone conference that we talked about what stuck with me the most.
Later that night I had the opportunity to participate in my very first baptism! We got to baptize the family that we have been recently teaching, you know the family that we were offered beers at..., yeah that family. But anyway it was a great baptism and I was able to baptize the little boy whose name was Alex. He told me he was nervous to do it and I just reassuringly told him that I was nervous too! Don’t know if that helped him or not but at least we were on common ground haha. The rest of the week was a bit of a blur and don’t remember a whole lot but it was a good week!
Oh ya, except today we were able to visit the Indy 500 museum. Kind of a cool place. Pictures down below.
Hope all is well back at home and hope everyone has a good week!
