Well this week has been so long but it is over and that is good now i get to start a new week fresh. This District leader and trainer thing is a killer. i never get time to myself at night to unwind and relax and now i have to not only worry about my area and investigators but all the other ones as well. But it is fun and rewarding. The hardest thing was having the two sisters call on two different occasions and both of them were crying. I ended up having to talk to them and calm them down. Wow i just realized i havent had to talk to a girl who was crying for 16 months! I forgot how to help them. Honestly it was awkward because all i can tell them to do is take a break and read the scriptures and pray untill they feel better.
Other than that the week was good. we ended up having a surprise baptism. His name is Nikko Harewood and he has been coming to church with his grandma and aunt for a while. his grandma had her papers removed and was working to get back into the church so when she was getting baptized on saturday nikko told us on tuesday he wanted to be baptized with her. So we worked hard and taught him about 7 lessons in 2 days and prepared him. Then he had his interview and passed sso he was able to be baptized on saturday with his grandma!
So elder ort and i are doing a lot better. We talked and i just was scared and stressed about my new assignments and didnt give him a chance when we first met. We are trying hard to make things work and i think it is going well. We do a small companionship inventory at nights to see how both of us can improve and get better. I hope he feels the same way. we are already seeing success together and are excited to see all the potential success. We are doing well.
Oh and by the way i think that my first District meeting was a success. i taught about prayer with faith and how to take the message "to" the gators heart and not just "near". As for tomorrows i think i plan on talking about the things we can control and to forget about the things we cant. Also i will talk about using the scriptures and comp. unity. so hopefully it will go well. I run out of time when i go to prepare there is just to many things that i end up studying but all is well. i like my job and responsibility.
But i hope to be able to send things home with that lady tomorrow so be looking for it. i think you will like it and it is going to make you happy and surprised haha. i hope that you have a great week and i pray that this week goes by faster than last. oh and ps My seahawks are going to win the superbowl and that is going to be great. and no im not a bandwagon i just choose to follow the best team haha. jk i dont even like NFL that much its all in the NCAA in which my Ducks lost this year:( Better luck next year!
Well have a great week and i love you!!
Love
Elder Woodruff
