that seems all good with BYU and Chase.
I was only sort of able to see his post. was there a picture with it? that was funny from his coworker though. not sure how you survived that without AC thats pretty crazy it got that hot inside the house. i hope you went to the pool plenty.
also 1 quick thing, i saw that on the ward programs, the ward had put my direct pickering address on there. it would probably be a little important to either get that changed to my toronto address of the mission office address, otherwise the new missionaries in pickering will probably learn pretty well everything that goes on in our ward thanks to sister hagen sending the programs.
Thats crazy beebee gets to do her own song during sacrament! i dont really think youre necessarily supposed to play guitar during a sacrament meeting, but i'm glad it's happening anyway.
do you do service? If yes, what day, what do you do?
not really, at least no consistent service time. we have helped someone move as well gone and given blessings to some members in the hospital.
where are you in your BOM reading? Tonight I will be around Alma 61 or 62 where Pahoran explains to Moroni why he hasn't sent help to those fighting the Lamanites. It's a good part. This is just after Moroni sent Pahoran a scathing letter.
I am in about 2nd Nephi 4 i think. I recently decided I wanted to spend a little time each morning reading it straight through like a book instead of just by topic, so I make sure to try and read at least 10 minutes a day. I read slow though, during that time i only get through about 2 chapters. I think I want to spend a little time reading through the new testament as well or at least from matthew to acts. I've already read through John earlier in my mission.
and yes I remember that story and I remember you love that one. that one is a good one.
What are you studying in your PMG?
I dont normally follow through specifically, just depending on what we are teaching that day I will look at what I feel will be the most useful.
Talk about General Conference! Will you watch at your regular ward building?
I think we might go to the stake center building actually (Don Mills, basically toronto also) that building is ridiculously huge, it has 3 floors and 2 sacrament rooms.
If we start watching at 9, then you watch your session at 12 and 3?
hmmm i actually have no idea, I will let you know another time
Do you think you will take notes? Will you use a certain notebook to take notes in?
yes I will. I have 1 notebook I generally will write good scriptures in and another notebook I put notes from random things like zone conference or something in, so I will put my conference notes in that one.
Have you thought about it at all? Will you invite investigators to watch?
have not thought too much about the logistics of what we will actually do. But yes we have invited people and will invite many more. actually there are a couple Muslim people we are teaching who are very interested in a modern day prophet and want to see and listen to him. that should be cool.
Are you playing sports at a ward building today?
yes we are!
How long does it take you to do your laundry?
about 30 minutes for the washer and 40 for the dryer but we just drop off our clothes then leave back to our apartment and come back to switch them over to the dryer.
Seems like all is well. I do have a good story from this week though. we were walking down the street downtown and this one guy came up to us and said "Hey Elders!" we talked to him, he seemed like a very normal guy, and he said "hey i was baptized in your church about a year ago, you folks like to call me brother Ore, but thats not my real name, my name is Jesus Christ, I'm the Messiah resurrected." he went on to tell us that hes been resurrected many times, that he had seen his body as he left in the spirit form and that he had seen satan in the flesh and body. Apparently he chose to leave our church because we had most things right but we did not follow him exactly. Now he has his own group of people that pray to him and he heals them. When we got back home we looked him up and his records were in our ward list... so he was baptized thinking he was Jesus. the funny thing is that that was the second "Jesus" that we had met in 2 days. this was just the first one that had been baptized. I asked the bishop about him and he said that when he first came to church after he was baptized that this man went up to him and said "hey also if you ever need any help leading or anything just feel free to let me know, I'm always happy to help my children." Obviously Toronto has been blessed exceedingly to have Jesus come in the form of many many people's bodies.
Also this week the BoM play started! We went down as a whole zone on friday (like 20 missionaries) and it was really fun! it was crazy too! within 2 hours I probably talked to about 200 people! it was crazy.
Alright that's about it
I love you all!
