Had a really good week this week. It's been crazy getting to know the new area and all the new people, but I'm loving it. Everyday there's something different to find and to see.
On Tuesday we had leadership council and before we started the power went out which meant we couldn't use the projector. We couldn't really do much about it, so President decided to take the time and answer questions and teach us again. It just blows me away every time he starts teaching, and I think everyone was glad that the power had gone out that morning haha. He talked about the history of the Nephite civilization and finished by explaining how Captain Moroni managed to defend his people from the Lamanites, relating all of it to how the adversary is always looking for a weak spot in our defenses. It's something that I've heard plenty of times, but the was President explained it, it took on a whole new perspective and I learned so much more. Love that guy!
Then on Wednesday we had zone conference, which was great. We taught about how to have better unity with your companion and work more effectively. To finish we set up and maze and had them run through with their legs tied to their companion's. It worked out great and thankfully no one got hurt haha.
Also, we have an investigator that was working to get baptized in October, but had a motorcycle accident and basically destroyed his left hand. He had to get pins in his thumb and index finger and the doctors said he'd be in a cast at least 3 or four months. He wanted to get baptized but with the cast on, he didn't feel as comfortable. We told him if he had the faith, he'd be able to get baptized this month without a problem. He had a doctor's appointment on Saturday and that night we stopped by to see how he was doing. When we got there, not only was he feeling a lot better, but they had taken off the cast and the pins and he told us the doctor had given the thumbs up to be baptized. He had recovered way faster than expected and the doctor said there wouldn't be any problem for him to get baptized this month. Christmas miracle.
I gotta take off, but have a great week! Love you guys a ton!
