This week has been pretty good. On friday we got two new investigators. Its exciting but frustrating because we teach almost everyday now and its a lot of preparing. Probably the biggest thing that happened this week is I met President Mehr! I was in bracnh council sunday morning and he came in super late and said he was the district president and his name was President Mehr and I raised my hand and asked if he served as mission president in the West indies and of course he said yes so I told him I was logans little brother and him and his wife were so excited. After the meeting they came and talked to me for awhile and we took a flic. Ill send it later. Then in sacrament meeting the way they do it is they have everyone prepare a talk and then after the sacrament they call a elder and a sister to come up and speak. So you have no time to prepare. And this week I didnt prepare anything. Theres a good 70 other boys in the district and im on the younger half of the district and they normally call on the kids who have been here 3 weeks longer. But right before they called a name I didnt have a good feeling so of course they call Elder Sackley and I look up and President Mehr and his wife are just smiling and pointing at me. So I had to wing a talk in sacrament which actaully went a lot better then I thought. That night at the devotional a guy named Kenneth Cope (you can look him up) came and sang to us and talked about how Jesus loves kisses it was the worst weirdest stupidest didnt feel the spirit at all thing.
On tuesday we went to the dentist and they finished all the work. They put a picture of me on their facebook account so if you look im on there somewhere. That afternoon we made Mega bed. Ill send a flic later but it is absolutely insane and yes someone slept on it for the night but it was horrifying. That night Elder Weatherford T Clayton from the Seventy came and spoke to us. He taught about a lot but what I liked the most was the power of music. At one point he had everyone sing as sisters in zion and armies of helaman and all of the missionaries stood up at once it was pretty dope. You could feel the spirit very strong.
I believe this happened tuesday but there are still people walking around taking tours which I guess logan came yesterday hes a bum for not finding me. anyways they all have these tags on saying there names and where they are from and this lady was from Hillsboro. So i went up and started talking to her and she told me she was in the Evergreen ward and she was best friends with the Mossmans like dom and maddie. So we made that connection and she was bawling and was super emotional. Im not exactly sure why but she was just amazed that I made a connection and just talked to me for a super long time it was really sweet.
The Tagalog is coming pretty well. We got a new teacher this week and hes really cool. He has never taught a District before. He told us this carzy story about how he had to pray about it and all this stuff and he had a big prompting he needed to teach a district so he got us. Hes sweet. He normally only teaches senior couple and general authorities when needed.
Other random stories.
- We made potato chips on the iron and the best part is they are really good.
- All the english missionaries in our dorm left for florida and gave us all these fun toys. I dont know why they had them but I know now that nightly tennis in the hallway is a must.
- A bunch of kids in my district are getting sick so weve given countless blessing this week. and no I have not and will not get sick.
