Week #75

Dear Everyone,

So this was a pretty fun week. Our work was not at its highest, but we were pretty pleased for the week. The Sisters have been doing well recovering from a week in the hospital. They destroyed there area this past week. Quite an incredible bounce back into the work.

Monday: We had a pretty good day. We were able to chill around the house, clean a little, take a nap. It was very nice. We got out to teach a couple of lessons in the evening. I did an exchange with Elder Christenson. It was fun. I will be with him until Wednesday.

Tuesday: We were able to teach a couple lessons. It was a fun day. It was weird having studies cut short. Elder Christenson no longer has the extended schedule, so I had the normal studies for in the morning. Kind of weird. The English class was fun and we had a lot of people show up for it.

Wednesday: In the morning, the Zone leaders came to the church to give us some specialized training. It was really good and I learned a lot. The focus was on chapter 11 in Preach My Gospel. We taught another couple lessons in the evening after switching back with Elder Todd.

Thursday: We taught a couple lessons and had a cool experience too. While we were walking down this one street, we had a guy on a motorcycle come to us and told us to come to his house. You could smell alcohol on him, but we decided to appease him. We showed up and had an interesting lesson. We were able to set up a return appointment. Just reminds me in PMG chapter 9, talks about how they will be led to us, or we will be led to them.

Friday: Another good day. We set up a lesson with one of the members grandparents. It was good and they have turned into 2 new investigators. They are out at Nong Jig and live right next door to another member family. I hope that the teaching turns out good.

Saturday: We were only able to teach one lesson. It was really good and the investigator is doing good. We spent some time inviting, but we were not met with any success.

Sunday: Well it poured this morning. I am surprised we had anyone at church. Rain deters a lot of people. Kind of annoying. But, we did have a couple come from another town, an hour and a half away, in the rain, on a motorcycle. That was pretty cool. The rain stopped during church and it was all good afterwards. We went the the branch presidents for dinner again. We had a good meeting and requested some stuff from him. He is a little overwhelmed and did not know where to begin. He was very grateful that we gave him some stuff to do. Dinner was delicious.

That was all for this week!

Love,
Elder Ack
