Mission Creek week 11

June 29, 2015

Well this week was pretty fun. Had a couple of awesome things happen as well.

We had 2 exchanges again this week. The first one Elder Rowland came
to my area. It was a pretty good day. We ended up having 5 lessons
which was awesome. Elder Rowland is a great missionary and he is super
funny also. So that was a super fun day. Then on Wednesday Elder
Hilario came with Elder Reimschussel and I and helped us learn
Spanish. It was funny cause Elder Hilario's family used to live in our
area so he knew a lot of the people we saw because he grew up with
them.

On Sunday we both had to give a talk at the Fort Sam branch. The talks
went well except for it was super hot that day and the air
conditioning was broken. So everyone was sweating like crazy. It was a
rough sacrament meeting. Since it was so hot they ended church after
sacrament meeting, but we stayed for a while after to teach one of our
investigators.

One thing i definitely learned this week is how important it is to be
calm and focus on the spirit. I had to give the dinner message one day
and I hate doing the dinner messages cause I never know what to share.
But then when we were talking to them a scripture came to my head so I
just shared the scripture then it got them talking about their friend
so we showed them a few ways to share the Gospel with their friend.
And it all ended up going great. So I learned that listening to the
spirit makes good things happen.

Nothing else too exciting happened this week. Just another awesome
week in Texas.

Have a great week! Love y'all!
