Tuesday, we had interviews with President Jaggi, which is always great! Then we had service and a couple member lessons the rest of the day.
Wednesday, we had district meeting, and Elder Tabler and I trained on faith. We also brought in one of our ward mission leaders, brother Reid, to train us as well. He's a super spiritual guy, and presents doctrine extremely well. Later that day, we had more service at habitat for humanity.
Thursday was Thanksgiving! We had so many meals, and it was ridiculous. I'm so glad, and thankful, for everyone who signed up, but 3 back to back meals did not go over well for me haha. We had one at 12, 1, and 2:30, then another at 6. My stomach was hurting for about 2 days straight. It was great to be able to spend time with some other missionaries in the zone though, since transfers are next week, and a lot could be leaving (possibly me).
Friday, I spent most of the day writing a talk on the Book of Mormon, that I was going to give on Sunday. I don't enjoy speaking in church, so I take a long time to write my talks... The rest of the day we met with Manuel and his family. Maria and Angelina are supposed to be getting baptized this coming Saturday, but they are unsure if they are ready. I'll update you next week whether or not it went through!
Saturday was a pretty awesome day. We met with Manuel again, but mostly just to set up his new smart TV, and his new ps4. He knew to call us, cause he knows that's all we did before our missions ;). After that we went to dinner, and that night there was a huge parade in downtown Ogden. A bunch of us missionaries serving in Ogden, set up a table with light the world decorations, which is the church's Christmas initiative. Basically, they release a video that corresponds with each day of December, of how we can service someone in some way. Light the world in 25 ways over 25 days! We handed out a lot of pass along cards, and talked to a bunch of people. There was also fireworks, and tons of lights there!
Sunday, Elder Tabler and I both gave our talks on the Book of Mormon, which he did great! I'm not sure how I did, because no matter how bad or good you do, people still say good job haha. The rest of the day we spent visiting members asking for referrals.
If you haven't already please check out the #LightTheWorld videos on lds.org, and find out ways you can serve this Christmas season. Love you all, have a great week!
