The Weekly Week

I stole this title from Elder Roy. I capitalized the W's.

I had a great week this week. The highlights of the week were:

Getting a tomato plant from Brother Smeaton, and helping to weed his garden, and his neighbor's garden.

Teaming up with President Clark again. We went with him just after The Saturday afternoon session of Conference and taught Emilio (the son of Emilio) and Amalia in Spanglish. Elder Smith got lost because his Spanish isn't very good yet. We didn't get to ride in his car this time.

Watching Conference at the church, at Brother Bolins, at Brother Mezas, and at the Zamoras. Conference was excellent, and like Elder Holland said, I never wanted it to end. My favorite talks were President Uchtdorfs talk on the Savior restoring us, President Eyring's first talk, President Monson's talks, Elder Hollands talk, Elder Stevenson's talk, and Elder Arnold's talk. Elder Arnold came to our mission a while ago.

I like Elder Monson's talk about choices. It was a really short talk, but it was powerful. The choices that we make, really make all the difference in our lives. It is important for us to choose wisely, and to stay focused on where we want to go and where we want to be. As we choose the right, the Lord will bless us immensely. 

It turns out that I didn't really have a cold, I just got hit really hard by Allergies. They were really bad for a few days, but I mostly am over them now. I am grateful for Puffs lotion tissues, even though my mom doesn't like them.

I worked really hard to start teaming up again, our team ups slowed way down when Elder Smith got here. We taught 11 or 12 lessons with members this week. (We only really counted 11.) It was really good, and we got blessed for it. We were able to have every single key indicator go up quite a bit, which is really good. It was really fun. We were able to find a really good referral that we had been trying to find. We already had his phone number, and we knew what apartment complex he lived in, and then he talked to the Spanish Elders and is golden. We will start teaching him today.

Everything is going pretty well.
