Burned...

 

Well this week we had mission tour... It was pretty much awful... hahaha! It was a great spiritual experience though. so here is pretty much what happened.

For mission tour they invited Elder Aidukaites. he was part of the first quorem of the seventy and specifically heads over the missionary part of the entire church. and (I dont think i spelled it right.) He was a really great guy and really funny. But he was definitly firm with all of us. He talked with each zone individually. he helped us learn how we need to plan our weeks and our days better. We all go in thinking that hes going to give us some great motivating talk and make us super excited for the work. he started burning us about how we need to take at least 2 hours on the weekly planning. he asked by a raise of hands who had spent less then 2 hours on there last weekly planning. out of the 32 people in the room at the time 30 raised there hands. he pretty much denounced the zone as a disgrace at that point... however it was not without purpose. he started going through some of the techniques of how to plan. after he explained it we started thinking, "goodness... i dont think that we could get all this done in even 5 hours..." yep... We all walked out of that room with our tails between our legs.

Hey just for news I finally got the package this week on wednesday. i´ve once again shared a little bit of my goodness... and sadly thing only thing that is still alive from the entire package is the peanut butter, the glow sticks, the caramels and the tootsie rolls. =) the rest of it has gone down the hatch of four ravished elders. =) haha it certainly brought quite a few smiles to all of them and wish to send there gratitude to the mama cornwall. =) (in case you were curious. the chips ahoy were definately the first to go...) =)

So this was a really good week too. we are going to be attempting to baptized Gileno Sueliton and Viviane this week end again. We tried to baptize them last week but they did not feel quite ready so we are hoping that they are more willing this week.

Sadly I did not bring my camera this time to the lan house. so i dont have any pictures with me =( I wanted to send something this week but i forgot it at home. But either way i hope you guys have a good week and that you guys are eating healthy. my companion is not doing so great becuase of food choices. Keep them wholesome fibers up in your diets. =) haha! till next week. =) buh bye now!
