So today, May 8th,
officially marks my 2-month mark! Only 22 months left! Not too much happened
this week, or maybe a lot happened, and I just don't remember. I'm already
getting to that point in the mission lol.
Monday, we had a
mission 5k run, which is pretty fun, except the fact that all us missionaries
that were in the front, took a wrong turn and ended up running 5 miles instead
of 5k. Other than that, it was a good day.
I can't remember a
single thing we did on Tuesday, so probably just the regular stuff.
Wednesday, we has
our zone/district meetings, then the rest of the day was like Tuesday.
Thursday, was
actually one of my favorite days so far on my mission. I went on exchanges with
our zone leader, Elder Hutchison, in Riverdale, while his companion came here
to Clinton. Elder Hutchison and I work so well together and we're so similar, I
just wish I could permanently be his companion! We found so many people, that
the Lord totally prepared for us to meet them. We found 4 people that are
willing to meet with the missionaries again, and we committed 2 of them to
baptism. One of them was a 70-year-old black man, that was Catholic. I approached
him, testified of the Book of Mormon and gave a short lesson on the restoration,
and for the first time in my mission, asked him if he would be baptized when he
found out that the things I told him were true. He said he would, and oh man, I
can't tell you how good that felt. Later, while we were walking, a chocolate
lab came up to us, and just wanted some love. He was just a puppy, and didn't
have a collar, so we went around door to door, until we found the owner. So, it
was a really solid day!
Friday, we had
our huddle meeting, to correlate the work with the missionaries in our stake.
After, we visited an inactive family, the Greer's, and invited them to church.
We kinda connected. since we have the same last name, but they didn't want to
come to church at all. The daughter kind of wants to, but won't go if the
parents don't. So that's a bummer.
Saturday, we had
a day of service with the entire zone in West point. We split up into groups of
3 companionships, and just went around to houses and did yard work, painting,
and some other things. After, the stake fed us lunch, and we just met a lot of
different people. After that, I went on exchanges with Elder Sitisap, who's
just another missionary in our stake. While in his area, I met a Simonsen
family, who just so happens to be Robb Simonsen’s brother and his family! Small
world! Biking was really hard this day, because the wind was stronger than I've
ever seen. It felt like a hurricane out there!
Sunday, was a
regular day, except after church we just went to visit a bunch of families, so
that my companion can say bye. He's being transferred to Plain City on
Tuesday! I'll tell you all more about transfers, and my new companion, next
week when I know more.
That's all I got from
this week, hope everyone back home is doing well! I get to Skype home next week
for Mother’s Day and I'm super excited! Talk to you all next week.
Love,
Elder Greer
