Last Monday I of course went to Yellowstone, There are many pictures waiting on the album and also some videos maybe. Anyway, on to the week!
On Tuesday was Zone Conference. I actually have a lot to say about this one because it was kinda funny how many things didn't quite go as planned. The main event was a seventy who came and talked about blessings and not blessings from being faithful and stuff. It was actually really good.
Later in the meeting though, we had Pres Simpson get up and try to talk about the missionary Daily Schedule, the only problem is that he was talking about a schedule that has been outta-date for three years. so the poor guy gracefully gave up when all the confused questions were answered and the record set straight.
Also our Vehicle Coordinator had previously announced a competition for the mission, where whatever companionship had the best car at zone conference would be given one of the brand new rav4 hybrids that the mission recently acquired. The only problem is that in order to even qualify you had to have your fluids checked by a car place and then have them print a paper that said it was all good. So at zone conference he did this thing where he had groups of people sit down based on criteria until he got to the final winners. "If you drove to ZC stand up! you can't win if your car isn't even here!" *Everyone stands up* "If you have your fluids sheet keep standing! Other-wise sit down!" *Almost everyone sits back down*. There were only two companionships that were able to qualify for the win, because everyone else decided they couldn't be bothered. That was actually hilarious to see how the mission collectively decided they wouldn't be motivated by a new car. I don't know where I am going with this story but it happened so I wanted to write about it.
Wednesday evening we had several meetings in our Stake, also we WERE going to have a lesson with two kids that are ready to be baptized, but they ditched us! So that was sad.
Thursday Not too much happened, we had a lunch/lesson with a guy, honestly it didn't go to well, because he and the member we brought got on endless tangents.
Friday I was on exchanges with my District Leader Elder Bahr. The day went really well other than nobody was home and we had three lessons fall though. But we were able to do a lot of other work, that needed to be done, and also contact lots of potential fellow shippers for the people that had lessons drop. So all in all it was a good day. I also ran into a member that I knew in Rigby East so that was fun as well.
Sunday we wandered into a ward that was having their primary program. There were-- I kid you not-- 200 kids on the stands. It was insane. I looked behind me and there were no seats anywhere. All the way back to the stage. I haven't seen that many people in a building other than West Yellowstone.
I think that's it!
