Week 70 The faith of a 5 year old and the patience of a grandmother

Monday 2/27/2017

We started the day by helping the assistants with a move it was fun to figure out how to take a sleep number bed apart. We took Elder Sparto/Dodd to the mission office to get some stuff. We hit lunch at Alohas with Elder Boyle/Park. We went and did some needed shopping at a few places then dropped our stuff off. We did a little finding before dinner which we picked up. We did our laundry at the end of the night. 

Tuesday 

After studies we went and picked up our laundry. We came back for lunch then Joe's. We went and did some finding we were able to see a family and teach them a lesson. We got a call to go pick Dodd and Sparto. They were on foot so we got them food since they hadn't eaten all day and dropped them off. We went to dinner with the Jensen's and finished the night doing a ward missionary correspondence meeting with Brother Vargas. 

Wednesday  

We went out and did some finding in the morning then we picked up Elder Dodd/Sparto to bring them to the church we hit Joe's for lunch. After we dropped them off we tried to see more people. Dinner was with the Nelson's he was cool he had his own kiln and he sculpts metal. We had ward council which was interesting. We ended our night trying to see more people 

Thursday 

We started the day with zone training. We talked about chapter one of Preach my gospel. We talked about the authority of our call and how to receive the power to effectively share the gospel with those that we come in contact with. We looked at some of the examples of great missionaries in the scriptures and what they did to teach those they saw. We also discussed what a successful missionary is. After we had lunch a Buffalo wild wings. We went out and did finding till dinner. It is hard to catch people it seems. We had dinner with the Baldwin family. We had a good talk about not being of the world and building a strong foundation. We were able to see Glenn before the end of the night. We headed in a little early since we have to get up way early for the temple. 

Friday

Saturday 

We started the day after studies with weekly planning we were able to do a little finding before dinner then we had stake conference Elder Bruce Gent came. It was a good stake conference he had them put questions on the board for the speakers to answer which was cool. 

Sunday 

We started our say with stake conference. There was some good remarks from Elder Gent. There didn't seem to be a focus of the conference. We had dinner with Bishop Gonzalez. He gave us a lot of people to go and check on in the ward. 

The faith of a 5 year old and the patience of a grandmother 

Elder Gent shared a story of giving his son a blessing. After he gave the blessing to his sick son his son went and laid on their couch. He was in the kitchen with his wife and his son comes in three minutes later saying that was a stupid blessing. His son had the faith that he would be healed in at least two minutes. The thing that his son was lacking was patience. So with the faith of a 5 year old and the patience of a grandmother great things could be brought forth.
