Jan 6, 2017 (P-Day #3)

Hey everybody! This week wasn't as crazy as last week for Christmas which is good I feel so much more relaxed, I'm learning a lot and am teaching a lot. We have a Teacher Resource Center TRC where we teach investigators the lessons and can commit them to be baptized.

This week we had Josh Christensen for 3 lessons that were 45 minutes each and we had one lesson with Isaiah Scott because he didn't show up for the other two. We don't know whether or not they are actual investigators or members, my bet is that since we are in Provo there are a lot of members that are just acting.

Our zone leaders District did leave on Wednesday I was sad to see them go. Elder Cheney was from Albuquerque, NM and Elder Tschappatt (Maciah) is from T or C, NM it was cool getting to know them even though I already knew Tschappatt from Priest's Trip and stuff. Elder Cheney's companion, Elder Kimball is from Utah somewhere and he's a cool bullrider and outdoorsman he was awesome and a huge role model for me. Elder Tschappatt's companion Elder Mendoza is from Cali and their whole group is in Fresno California now! Elder Mendoza was a clown but he had a really strong testimony of the Gospel. So they left and we all said goodbye it was pretty sad but I can't wait for Tuesday when I head out.

We had a Devotional Sunday with a talk from Brad Wilcox, a Professor at BYU and also my Session Director at EFY! He's awesome and shared some awesome insight about Missionaries representing Jesus Christ. Lexi Walker who is another awesome Mormon singer sang during that, the girl has pipes...

Then on Tuesday we had a Devotional with Bonnie L. Oscarson (Young Women's General President) She talked about Working Hard, Leave the Rest of the World Behind you, Love your Companion and the People, and Learn the Power of Sincere Fasting and Prayer. Our Zone got to Host new Missionaries so we picked them up from the underground parking garage and showed them to their room and class. I see one of the Elders I helped, Elder Moon around sometimes he's going to Nebraska, Wichita and is a cool guy.

A little bit more about our investigator Josh Christensen, he's from Seattle so we talk about Washington all the time, He's 23 married, that's why I think he's a Mormon lol. But his Dad is a Lutheran Minister and he moved to Provo, Utah to get his Master's in Accounting and work at his uncle's firm he's really awesome. Our last lesson with him went awesome, even though he politely declined to get baptized right now he says that it's not off the table and he is reading the Book of Mormon and we got his email to keep in touch!

T-3 days until we leave for Washington I CAN"T WAIT!
