Hey Family,
This week has been great. First off to answer all of your questions. I did finish the Book of Mormon challenge and loved every moment of it. I did watch all of conference and we watched it at the ward building just in case investigators showed up. We use Mormon messages sometimes in lessons.
On Monday we played some volleyball and cleaned our house. Then Tuesday, we packed up all of our stuff and more. We waited for the sisters to be done emailing because their pday had been moved. One of them had a meeting on Monday. Well, we finally got the car and then moved in with a member just up the street because on Wednesday they are putting more sisters in Bartlett and they are going in our old apartment. After we moved, we unpacked. It was really boring but kept us busy. Then on Wednesday we had zone meeting in Frayser. It was lots of fun and President had decided to do away with the conference call so we had more time to role play and learn from the Zone leaders. We also were supposed to decide a monthly zone baptism goal and we spent about 30 minutes trying to decide. After zone meeting we went to see Eugene. This was our first time actually meeting him. Well, we sat down and started to discuss what he already knew and what he needed to learn to be baptized. He told us that he knew the Book of Mormon was true and he wanted to be baptized. Well, he has a hurt foot so as soon as that is healed he will be baptized. He also owned his own quad and said that he had been reading the Book of Mormon but he wasn't as far as he wanted to be. We asked him how far he was and he said he just finished Mosiah. You should have seen the look on our faces, we were both amazed! Well, we are going back tomorrow to start teaching him the lessons. That night we were hanging out with the young men at the church and the member we just moved in with was there with his son who came home that day from his mission. It was super weird to see him get released and realize that is only 1 year away. On Thursday, we had a lesson with the Hills and we just planned Beckie's baptism. On Saturday we watched all of conference and I really loved Elder Uchtdorf's talk on Saturday morning about bringing people back to church and finding the lost sheep. We didn't have any investigators come to the church and watch conference but we had a couple watch it at home. Sunday, we also just watched conference all day. It was lots of fun. I loved Elder Nelson's talk on how are bodies are temples and should be treated as temples. I really love conference and listening to all the prophet and apostles. It was also funny when Elder Soares talked. It was like Dejavu. We were in the same building we saw him in in person.
Thats about it for my week, not too exciting. Oh yea, and today I learned that I am getting transferred. So next week I will be somewhere else. Also, we went to the temple this morning to see some missionaries going though today and I learned I will probably be opening an area so that will be fun. Well thanks for all you do and all the prayers.
