Hey everyone!
Man this week was pretty fun. This Monday starts week 6 this transfer and then then after this week I'm done with training! Pretty exiting time!
Well let me tell you about my week:
Monday was pday as usual, nothing too exciting haha. Elder Jordan and I went to marshals and bought matching sweaters. They're super comfy. They're Field and Stream and the collar is fleece, so you already they're super warm.
Tuesday we had district meeting and it rained all day super hard! We visited a part member family and the whole family but the husband are members. They have two daughters: Luzmar- 7 and Flor-6. Flor loves to play! When we were over there she started this little craft. She was behind me the whole time and she wouldn't let me see what she was doing. Anyways like half an hour later her and her sister were laughing super hard and we had no idea why. Turns out that she made me angel wings, a halo, and a wand! She made me into an angel haha. Which a sweet family. The non-member husband has known missionaries for over 20 years and still hasn't been baptized so we are going to try to change that!
Wednesday seemed extra fally for some reason. We had a couple heavy lessons that day. One of our lessons we had bishops second counselor come with. It was for a member who has a son who is 14 and a daughter who is 11 with some serious mental health problems and it has become very burdensome for him and the rest of the family but he hasn't really noticed. So we talked about service and how giving people the opportunity to serve is also giving yourself the opportunity to serve as well. We proposed the idea to put his daughter in a group home. Kind of a tough thing for him to do, but it's important. We are praying that he follows what's best for him and his family. I also got a haircut from the Martinez family. Brother Martinez fell asleep like five minutes into my haircut😂
Thursday we had service and weekly planing and we saw some of or members, not too much more than that.
Friday helped a member in the morning with putting all their stuff in black bags and boxes because they were getting a bed bug treatment and they had to bomb their apartment. We also tried by a lot of less actives and part member families. We also had coordination with our ward mission leader at his house. It was a very small apartment! I felt pretty claustrophobic haha.
Saturday we went over to the same members house and helped them move all their stuff out of their apartment cause they were getting new carpet. It was quite a process! We met with a less active/part member family. We also had our ward thanksgiving party! She came to it. It started at 6:30 but no one really showed up till 8ish but we had a lot of people come and it was really fun!
Sunday was awesome. The talks that were given were on Elder Hollands talk he just gave and about member missionary work. Just the message the ward needed to hear👌. We had 5 lessons after church and 3 of those were meal appointments. Our fridge constantly has food in it, definitely I can't complain about! The ward here is super good about feeding the "Elders" haha. For reals though the sisters in our ward never get fed! But we're trying to remind the relief society that the sisters need to be fed too.
That was my week. We're working with some more people and hopefully in this next month we can have a baptism! Crossing my fingers!
Love all you guys!
Hope you all have a happy thanksgiving!
Love,
Elder Marz
