 Why I Do Not Play Basketball

Sunday night on 9/11 we went to this fireside that someone gave.   She was serving her mission there when it happened.  It was cool to hear about it from a missionaries perspective instead of just like the videos you watch in school. She had some pictures that she had taken and that some elders had taken.  She showed this picture of everything black and you could kind of see this small speck of light that was the sun.  She said she had never really understood what a mist of darkness was until that moment when she was surrounded by one.  She also had never realized the joy that the smallest bit of light can bring when you are surrounded by darkness.  I also learned that for a time the mission was changed to a humanitarian aid mission instead of proselyting. 

On Monday we played basketball(my worst enemy) while we were playing I threw the ball and someone tried to intercept the pass.  The person trying to intercept ended up face planting into the floor and probably got a concussion.  This is why I do not play I just end up hurting people. 

On Wednesday I was on an exchange with Sister Harshaw.  We made cookies and we also went to this smoothie shop.  It is my new favorite place.  It is probably good it is not in my area otherwise that would be bad.  

 

Also I got the AP to video President Gibbs technology training*.  Bonus to having them in your district.  :) Our last district meeting this transfer was Thursday since the APs and my companion have a meeting next Thursday.

  *President Gibb is I guess you could say like the missions version of president Holland so it was just really good. ...It was about how we are all addicted to technology and how we can avoid it.  He also talked about how everyone struggles with pornography and the real question is when did we last do it.  Also how to avoid it when thoughts come to your mind. 

 

On Saturday I was on another exchange and I got to help with this stake Activity Days activity which was super fun.  At the end they gave everyone a ring that was shaped like an arrow to remind us to always follow the prophet.  It was super cute.  After that we went to Crave for lunch apparently it is a pretty popular burger place.

On Sunday this man named Bradley called us and wanted to know when our church meetings were.  He had been talking to his friend and wanted to learn more about the church.  He asked if he could be baptized.  We realized that he was not in our area so we had to give him to some other Elders.  I am sure it made their day though.

I shared this on Facebook:

 Just got a phone call from someone in CO- apparently a Sister missionary knows exactly what to do in this person's situation....

(Just to be clear, Ana didn't call me, but she gave someone my number)

 

That person sent me a picture today:
