April 29-May 5
This week FLEW.
We had the Zone Leaders pop in for a surprise exchange for the other elders, cause they had to be here for some old document stuff in the city that they didn't finish the first transfer that they were here. haha. We had a joint lesson with all 6 of us and one of our investigators, and that sure was dope. We just had a testimony meeting with all of us and boy that was super spiritual and just so good!!!
It's been pretty crummy weather all this week, but it's okay. Reminds me of home haha.
We had a branch activity that had a whopping 4 people other than missionaries, so we moved it to Saturday, when we had WAY more people come.... Or not so much. It was still fun though. There were 8 people and 4 missionaries. It was kinda embarrassing and troshky frustrating, but no big deal. We had 4 non members, 3 of which were our investigators. Pretty sick. We made it fun though! I've definitely come to appreciate ward and branch activities way more on my mission.. Probably because I've had to lead and plan and clean and set up almost every single one on my mission hahahaha. Good experiences though. We had a picnic here in the building because the weather was terrible.
I gave a member's son a haircut and for the first time absolutely butched it.... it was soooo bad hahaha. The funniest part that wasn't so funny then but I can laugh about it now is when he went silent and his mom said "Mark, why are you crying??" I just said to myself... oh no.. here it comes.. I got chewed out by the mom a decent amount (I will say, that I did EXACTLY what BOTH of them told me to do, but hey, whatcha gonna do?? haha) and then the best part is when he ripped off the garbage-liner makeshift apron thingy that barbers use and hopped off the stacked chairs and ran off crying with his half buzz cut half bowl cut. The other missionaries heard about it and when they saw him had to hold in their laughs... it was just so cringy, but it's all good. 7 year olds are pretty keen for holding grudges, but hey. I've dealt with a lot of them and even act like one myself sometimes. So I chased him around the building and just played with him until he didn't hate me anymore. I may or may not have had to promise him a coke though. Hey, gotta do whatcha gotta do.
We're SO looking forward to Katya's baptism THIS COMING SATURDAY!!! I'm so excited for her. There is nothing like starting life with a clean slate and the only thing written on the "fleshy tables of our hearts" is the name of Christ that we are able to take upon ourselves through sacred Priesthood Ordinances! And then the Ordinance of the Gift of the Holy Ghost right after on the next day. Gonna be a great weekend. Please still keep her in your prayers!! Katya is just a TROOPER!!
God is so real and God is so good!!
Have a good week y'all.
