Beanies, buckys, and bearing testimony. Kobe week (week 24)

 

What's up yall!! Hope all of you guys have had a great week!! This week went by super fast and was very tiring. We had interviews with the mission president this week. We also have had a lot of lessons recently which is good but very tiring. Finding people here is really hard and its even harder to find people that actually want to commit to a second lesson. 

 Monday was so much fun because I played volleyball for like 5 hours and then we didn't have to go do any missionary work that night because we had a meeting with our branch president about how we can get all our inactives back to church. This area has the most members in it in the whole stake but is still a branch because none of those members are active. They made some fire food and then we had our meeting which took 4 hours but it got us out of walking around in the cold for a few hours so it was nice. I also decided to try and fade up one of the missionaries in my zone and it didn't go well. I realized I don't have the skills that Elder cook has and he had to go get it fixed by another missionary. 

 Also this week we got grounded two separate times because the weather dropped below -10 again so they decided it was too cold to go outside. so we spent 4 hours doing facebook work and calling people. Wednesday we got denied a lot but it was ok because one of our friends who works at the bucky's gas station that we go to gives us free drinks and we have slowly gotten to know her and have just talked about missionary work with her but wednesday we were able to talk to her about the church and our beliefs and she even gave us her number so we could send her the zoom link to church so that was lit. 

 Friday we had this really cool lesson with our friend quame. Quame is a seventh day adventist but he told us that he asked for a sign and he believes that we were that sign. We taught him the coolest restoration of my mission and he is just so cool. 

 Saturday was such a busy day. We had 12 lessons and it was so tiring but in the words of elder Hansen "nothing beats missionary work on 4 hours of sleep and a peachy keen monster". It was definitely worth it because almost all those people told us they would love to learn more. 

 That was basically my week and im just loving missionary work. Its so cool to see people change for the better and come closer to jesus christ. I gave a talk on sunday about how we can follow christ through simple ways. I spent all week on it and apparently when you don't write your talks the night before they end up doing pretty well haha. Hope all of you stay safe this week!!!
