so this past week has been super fun not much has happened as far as investigators go but we're working with a bunch of members and they have given us a bunch of referrals which none have showed any actual interest but thats ok seeds have been planted and we are learning which is a good thing,
ok so i love my companion he is awesome and he is super funny he has almost the same humor as i do (ah yes, twice the forehead slapping!) he graduated high school oh about a month ago. three weeks from today he was on a date (weird...) and he wants to go into astrophysics... heehee
Finally someone who can have a truly interesting and intelligible conversation with! haha nah but he is super smart and super prepared for his mission: he knows the sticks, he knows PMG, he is willing and ready to learn how to apply all that he knows, so thats a great quality about him. his greatest spiritual gift that i've seen so far that will help him tons on his mission is one of the most impressive memories that i've ever witnessed he does not cannot will not forget anything!
so we are struggling most right now with finding time to do everything that we need to do! we even get an extra hour of comp study but with all the doctrine and teaching skills we have to go over its NOT ENOUGH! but thats ok we live and learn.
so this last friday was the first friday of the month so it was zone meeting so i haven't actually had a district meeting yet but i planned and made assignments this morning for our meeting this friday and its super nice because every month we get a mission action plan with a list of things that pres Taylor wants for us to go over and so it tells us right there exactly what to do for each discrict meeting and we are given the tools to do it all the district leaders have to do is to put it all together and run the meeting so i'm not too overly worried so we will see how it goes and my opinion after this friday haha.
ok so i'm thinking you've forgotten about me not telling you about where Elder Jones is by now right? no? ok well i guess i'll tell you. right. so he is from the Glorious Sandy Utah! but his family recently moved to South Jordan Utah so my companions keep getting closer and closer to home what next - Kyle is going to be my companion :D that would be super fun.
This coming week we are going to be making a focus on the 8 fundamentals of PMG with a focus on using the gospel of Jesus Christ in all of our teachings so i'm excited to be working with my new companion and the Fun adventures that await is in the coming week and months, lets just say that we will be slaying dragons daily! (my personal goal i made in my planner for recognizing miracles that happen each day and i set a daily goal of how many dragons we will slay or how many miracles we will recognize that day).
so at our 4th of july breakfast we had about 150 people there which sound like a lot but not really but thats ok we still had a number of non members there and also a less active sister who has 4 baptism age kids at home and she hasn't had any contact with the church for many years and she has asked us to come and to share a message in her home (sweet!) and she would like us over for dinner sometime (double sweet!).
ok well folks thats about all from my end oh and i bet mum was in heaven with Glenn beck we have a member of our ward who went up to visit family and to go to that she was originally going to stop by and drop off birthday presents and fathers day stuff but with the crazy busy p-day last week i wasn't able to go to the right store to get what i'm getting for you guys so sorry about that... any whom i love you all! keep up the fight!
Love Elder Pehrson
