I have 2 weeks left of the 12 week training program and I'm kind of having mixed feelings about it. I really want to stay because I love the ward I'm in, and the people in the ward also. However, I do want to see more of beautiful Colorado as well. So I don't know, we shall see what happens on January 1st when transfers happen.
Anyways, a lot happened this week, so lets start with Tuesday. So on Tuesday the sisters invited my companion and I, as well as my district leader and his companion, to help teach 3 seminary classes, which honestly, I thought was so much fun! Seminary is different here, they actually have a seminary building and I'm pretty sure the teacher gets paid. The classes start at 7:45, 9:15 and 2:15. Not for sure though if he gets paid, but I think he might. We taught the kids on how to invite their friends to church, or a church activity, and we role played with them, which was so much fun. At first I didn't want to help teach, but it wasn't too bad, and way more fun than I thought it would be.
Anyways, later that evening something crazy happened to my district leaders companion, Elder Robison. They were riding their bikes down a steep hill, and he was in front while Elder Bond was 100 feet or so behind him. He says he was probably going about 20-25mph. Anyways, they were riding on the sidewalk because there was no snow on them. But apparently somebody must have left their sprinklers on (I don't know why), but the water froze on the sidewalk and turned into black ice. They were on their way to dinner and it was dark, so he couldn't see it. When he went over the patch of ice his bike slid out from under him and his left shoulder nailed the fence right next to him. When my companion and I heard this, we rushed right over there to see what happened. His left shoulder looked like it got popped out of place and was hanging lower than the other. So the next day we drove him to urgent care, only to find out he just has a huge bruise and will have to be off bikes for the next week. So, lo and behold, we had to give them our car for the week. So, my companion and I rode bikes this past week, which wasn't too bad, but I miss my car haha. But we should get it back this Wednesday :)
So yeah, very crazy start to the week and Thursday we had an appointment with our potential investigator Donna Weaver, and we invited our ward mission leader to that. She is a 75 year old lady who is non-denominational, but loves to learn about what we believe. The lesson went really well and we invited her to read and pray to see if the Book of Mormon is true. She accepted our invitation and we plan to follow up with her this coming week, so I'll keep you posted. :)
Oh, we decided we are going to completely change our ward mission plan, because the one we have now has too much info on it, too cluttered, not well formatted, and displeasing to the eye, haha. So my ward mission leader is going to work on formatting it, and us and the bishop are going to help to put what info needs to be on it. So that should be fun! :)
Anyways, that's my exciting week for you all. I really miss everybody and hope you are all doing well. Have a great week!
