So
this has been my first full week in Corvallis and man what a week!!
We
had our first preparation day as a zone and that was super fun!! Then the next day we started it off with some
service for a lady whose literally almost 100 so we helped her out with some weeding.
Later that night we had a lesson with an
investigator from Pinesdale and it was pretty interesting because the member we
were going to have the lesson with wasn't able to come so we were scrambling
trying to find another member... or Elder.
Elder Skouson was stressing out and I was like “Elder calm down this is
happening for a reason. This guy we are teaching needs to be at someone's house
specifically”. So we finally find a member who will let us into their home for
the lesson and it was the most perfect family for him. By the end of the lesson he committed to going
through and interview for baptism with President Wadsworth!! So everything just worked out perfect!!
But
then we get a call from a member whose son is doing his eagle and needs help
because they aren't sure how many people are going to be able to come. So we went and helped him on Wednesday and
there was a mix up with communication and we weren't able to start until about
noon when we were planning on starting at about 9. So we started and we just went and we went
until about 4 or 5. But we got it all
done!! So that was awesome. What we did was fix up a fence in a national
forest and it was awesome!! Elder Skouson
did get straight fried though!! Like
right on the back of his neck was so super red!! It was pretty funny!!
Then
the next day we had district meeting and we had a discussion and I think it
went pretty good!! Everyone was pretty out
of it though. Especially Elder Skouson
and myself; it had to be because of the sun. So we finish up district meeting and then Elder
Skouson needed to take a breather and catch up and I wasn't against it so we
did that. Then we went out and tried to
meet with some people. After that we let
the Wadsworth's into the church so that president could interview our
investigator Justin!! So we talked with
Sister Wadsworth for a bit then decided to go try some more people and we ran
into and investigator family that we are working with in the parking lot so we
talked to them for a while. They asked
if we could help with a blessing for the member in their family so we did that
and by that time President was walking out so we talked to him and Justin is good
to meet with the general authority now!! So that was awesome!!!
The
next day we had interviews with our Mission President and that was awesome!! We had a good little chat about things!! :) After that we did service for an awesome
member in the ward!! We helped her with
some furniture. We were able to have a
light saber battle as well... all the good stuff.
Then
on Saturday we met this really awesome less active member and we went and
talked to him and he straight up told us that his life is a mess and he needs our
help to get back on track. It was way
cool!! Then on Sunday we had like 7
hours of church which was good. We had a
priesthood meeting where one of our Bishops gave us a referral of a family that
wants to take the discussions so the meeting got done earlier than we expected
and we were like... what do we do now?? And
we were like let's go see where these guys live at least. So we drive by and they're all outside!! So we park the car and go and introduce ourselves
and they were all like let's have a lesson right now!! So we were like ok!! We taught this really awesome lesson about the
plan of salvation, tears were shed and it was great!! They were super engaged and by the end of the
lesson they wanted a return appointment we didn't even have to bring it up. They were asking a lot of questions and all
the questions were in one lesson that we teach so it was really awesome!! The Lord blesses!!
It's
awesome out here in Corvallis!! Sure I
miss Bigfork, but after talking with my Mission President and getting into the
work, I am loving Corvallis!! It's so cool
here!! I guess I just needed to jump
right in and realize that the Lord has a work for me to do!! Love you all!!!
Love,
Elder
