| Elder Hunsaker at Greeter Falls |
January 4, 2016
What's happenin'?
Let me give you the rundown on this week's events.
This week really seemed more like a party week then a working week...thanks to New Years.
Most of the week has consisted of
planning for super p-day. For the people that have no idea what I am
talking about, on New Years Day we have the entire day to take a break
relax I guess. We are also permitted to watch movies that our mission
president allows. Elder Hunsaker was really excited for super p-day. He spent almost $100 bucks
on it! He bought all these drinks and food and he bought four movies.
It really made him mad because when the elders got to the church, they wanted to play sports all that day. So
we spent the day mainly playing Pakistani, basketball and volleyball.
They got really into it. It was rather frightening at times. Our Elders
love sports. I think it's part of their DNA. Not particularly my
favorite...but it beats sitting and watching them so I played and found
out I was pretty good at those sports. Let that be a lesson for you
kids. Don't be scared to try something new.
Eventually, we were able to watch 2
of the five movies we had. We first watched the minions movie. That one
as pretty funny. I like how most of there language consists of Spanish.
Then we also watched Inside Out. I really liked that one. My favorite
part was when the girl bumps into the one guy and it shows inside the
kids head and he's freaking out. That made me laugh. I can attest to
that one. Elder Crosby thought it was dumb and he didn't like it. It was
funny because Elder Cushing sitting next to him was like, " that was
the best movie ever! I could watch that one again. I cried more then
once!" I was laughing pretty hard at that. He didn't seem like the kind
of person to be into that.
All in all we had a good day. We had good laughs, played good games, and I think I have had enough soda to last me for ages!
Our success is getting gradually
better in the teaching category. We were able to set up appointments to
visit the investigators that have been attending church. They were there
the whole time and I had no idea! This week we also were able find a
new investigator! During the holidays I for some reason am drawn to all
the houses with Christmas lights on them. As we were leaving this one
house in our car, I had a good feeling about it. I felt like we should
stop there. For whatever reason, we kept going and almost left the
neighborhood. I felt it again..and I turned around and went back to the
house. We went up to it and this man came out. We said we were showing a
video about our savior and we wanted to share it with him. During the "Because of Him" video, he started tearing up a little bit. I could tell
that he was feeling the spirit. After the video we began to teach the
restoration. He was really taken back by it and when we gave him a book
of Mormon, his son asked for one also! He explained how he drove a semi
and how this was his day off from driving. I love how Heavenly Father
makes things work out. If we didn't go at that moment, we probably would
never have found him! We had another thing like that happen also. Every
time we drove past this one house, I felt prompted that we should go to
it. On Saturday I made a plan that we should go to it...but for what
ever reason it never happened. The next day we went out with the first
counselor in the bishopric and I asked if we could go visit the house.
When we got up to the door the man came out and it turns out that the
first counselor and the man were long lost high school buddies. It
really blows my mind when things just seem to work out like this. These little things are really amazing to me.
I also found out from Mickey that
an investigator, Breanna Saenz, that me and Elder Richins helped teach
is getting baptized on the 16th of this month! I guess when we first
started seeing her, she was totally on board with joining! She said that
her mom basically raised her Mormon without even knowing it and she was
like, we'll if I act like one, might as well be one! She has been going
to church and she bore her testimony yesterday! It is great to see the
efforts you put into work pay off. And the best part about it is the
girl is in a part member family. If she gets baptized, the less active
mom with for sure follow and eventually so will the nonmember dad. Its
like dominoes...but better! Way better.
(Everybody tries to spoil star wars
for us! It's hard to avoid it but we just to ignore it. And for some
reason it's mainly the bishops family! There daughter was talking about
it at lunch the other day and Elder hunsaker was really mad and he's
like, stop talking! Your ruining everything! He's okay now...I think)
Well, I love you all greatly and
in case you forgot, their is always somebody who you can count on. Always
somebody who knows that you can take on anything. Want to find out who
it is? Go to this website
As always, my love is with you and
if you need anything, please don't hesitate to write. I'd love to hear
from you and answer your questions. Thanks!
Love you my children. May your fondest dreams come to pass.
